“Monsters of the Past”

Gorgo, a giant lizard-like creature, is spewed from the bottomless depths by a volcanic eruption off the coast of a small Irish Island. The monster comes ashore and wreaks havoc before being driven off by torches. Gorgo gets captured with shark nets and sold to the Dorkin London Circus where he is put on display. It's discovered that Gorgo is only an infant and that a similar but larger creature has attacked Nara Island. That creature is Gorgos mother and she follows the scent of her offspring to England. After destroying much of London and rescuing her offspring, the two return to the sea.
