Shocker, a group of terrorist monsters, abducts a college student, Hongo (Masaya Kikawada), and transforms him into Masked Rider 1, an Inhumanoid locust that must do their bidding. When his wrath proves too great for Shocker to control, they create an assassin, Kamen Rider 2 (Hassei Takano), to destroy him. Masked Rider the First is some big-time metamorphosizing sci-fi fun.
