Dr. Briefs completes his work on a spaceship for Goku to take to Namek. Meanwhile, the Namekians show their true fighting spirit as the planet’s warriors arrive to defend a nearby village from Freeza’s men.

With two of Freeza’s underlings having destroyed their ship, Gohan, Kurirn and Bulma are stranded on Namek until further notice. Also, Kiwi, another of Freeza’s underlings, has his sights set on the AWOL Vegeta. And back on Earth, Goku finally gets out of the hospital.

Kuririn, Gohan and Bulma set course for Namek. However, what was thought to be a simple mission of gathering the dragon balls becomes complicated when the gang finds they are not the only visitors to the otherwise peaceful planet.
