[edit] The Story
A mysterious gem, named "Dokuro Stone" ("ドクロストーン"), is said to be able to reveal the location of the largest vein of gold in the world. This legend had entranced many people who wanted to lay hands on both fame, power and wealth, including the trio of villains in this show: the "Dorombo ("ドロンボー") Gang". However, their hunt for this stone was not as easy as they imagined, mainly due to the faulty information they received; and most of all, by a justical duo of pursuiters called: the "Yatterman"!
[edit] The Plot
Like the virgin show of the series, this show also concentrated on a time/space pursuit between the heroes and the villains who are each after their own goals, thus making the villains, again, be unfortunate through each episode, by a manner of almost identical result from the previous show: getting their mecha blown up and making themselves very tattered-looking.
