“Beam Me Up!”

Escaping from a gang of criminals, two young orphans, Minoru and Marimo stumble into the laboratory of a scientist who has created a transporter machine that can take the pair anywhere they wish. With that, the pair are literally “broadcast” into one adventure after another – including a world inhabited by humanoid ants, a world filled with invisible men bent on world domination, and the American “Old West”.

All of the action takes place in Osamu Tezuka’s Adventure Broadcasting Station (1961).
