A alien race who's home world "Gotham" was destroyed by a black hole comes along searching for a new home and decide that Earth can be made habitable for them. They attack Earth and the other planets, swiftly destroying most of the human population. However Earth has one last hope, a submarine/space craft, the Thundersub, it's little brother the Tempest Junior and their crew. Thundersub was originally created to protect Earth in case of the outer planets were ever to rebel, but must now challenge a powerfull alien race and their "Terror Star" in which they came to the solar system.
