In Rainbow Canyon, Dr. Toneriko’s environmental control tower protects a robot farm where Vegeta robots cultivate giant vegetables despite unstable weather. Katari, a young man who despises robots, arrives with malicious intent to destroy the farm’s reputation. Mimi, Dr. Toneriko’s daughter, initially views him as an older brother figure. Katari seizes control of the tower and triggers earthquakes that shake the canyon’s crust, causing the giant vegetables to fall and injure Dr. Toneriko. The seismic activity spreads to surrounding areas, ultimately leading to the collapse of a dam and threatening the entire region.
