Whenever the cops get close, the machine vanishes in a mysterious fog. Enter the Narutaki Detective Agency. Child sleuth Narutaki hits the set, and quickly gets a hunch regarding the "teleporting" mecha. While the police chase shadows, Narutaki finds the real villain, and the battle is on. After Narutaki's megamaton, Goriki, defeats the enemy machine, the criminal reveals himself- he is Knight Phantom. He speaks of his hatred for Narutaki, and vows to destroy everything he loves.

Soon, the girl is taken again, and this time a ransom demand is made- the kidnappers indeed want the meteronite, the crystal energy source her father is developing.
