Several missing persons cases have occurred in the snowy mountains. Dr. Elefun and Astro Boy are sent to investigate. There, they find victims whose corpses have been completely dried up.

TRIVIA
TRIVIA
In the manga, a group of reckless children from Elementary School get lost in the Mt. Tanzawa ski resort while skiing. Atom and Higeoyaji-sensei find Guernica, who are being kept in a research lab at a dam where they have brought the survivors they found. In the anime, the lost children are young men enjoying leisure time.
*This episode was directed by Yusaku Sakamoto, the chief of the Mushi Production TV team, and was started on at the same time as episode 3. It was originally planned to be episode 5, but was changed to episode 4. The third episode took priority, and Sakamoto also had to work on the opening and ending in the middle of the process, so it took six weeks to complete the art.
