Yog is essentially a bizarre ripoff of HG Wells' Empire of the Ants, but with amoebas from space...or something like that...
Like in EOTA, a group of investors head to a remote island to investigate a development opportunity...not knowing that the place has been overrun by kaiju beasts.
They aren't welcome by the natives, who are suffering from attacks, they believe, are due to the unwelcome presence of these foreign interlopers.
First, they're attacked by a kaiju squid...so they burn it.
Then they're attacked by Ebirah...so they blow it up.
Eventually, it becomes evident that space amoeba are responsible for both the gigantism of the kaiju beasts...as well as their aggression.
Though how they discern that is beyond me...because it's never explained.
Either way, the amoeba are in the one man: "the first man of space".
And he is to do their bidding.
Fortunately, the group gets suspicious when he miraculously survives a kaiju snapping turtle attack.
They try pleading to his humanity, hoping he will be able to overcome the control of the space amoebas, and snap out of it...for the sake of humanity.
That is, if it's not already too late...
One of the weirdest of the weird Toho kaijus.
5 out of 10.
