The White Planet, a leading contender in the round-the-world Grand Prix race, is destroyed by a gang. Dr. Ochanomizu, consulted by the pilot Koichi Hoshino, suggests repairing it using Atom's electronic brain. However, the White Planet, participating in the race, is about to face further sabotage.
The original manga is "The Black Planet" published in the January 1963 New Year's special issue of the monthly "Shonen" magazine. In the anime, the name "Black Planet" was changed, and the manga was also retitled in the 10th volume of Kappa Comics published in October 1964.
