Plot
When the Earth is threatened by alien invaders and giant monsters, the world relies on the Science Patrol, a special anti-monster defense agency armed with high-tech weaponry and vehicles to combat these threats from the unknown. When the Science Patrol's weaponry is ineffective and all hope is lost, one of their members, Hayata, transforms into a giant alien called Ultraman to defeat the monstrous menace threatening the Earth, unbeknownst to the other Science Patrol members of his secret identity.[1]

Notes
- Originally, the series was intended to last 52 episodes (a Type-D mask for Ultraman was already crafted for said-run.) However, Eiji Tsuburaya nixed the idea so that he could concentrate more on developing new and different productions (which was soon revealed to be Ultraseven.) The Type-D mask would then go on to be used and slightly modified for the Ultraman Jack costume.
