Story Featuring Godzilla

"Boulder Dam: A monolithic feat of engineering set on the Nevada-Arizona border, designed to forever contain the raging might of the Colorado River."

Storyline

Godzilla attacks the Hoover Dam (then called Boulder Dam) on the Nevada border. The dam bursts and a huge torrent of water washes Godzilla all the way to a Las Vegas strip. Godzilla contemplates attacking the city and does so when he is shot by a mobster. During his rampage, the rest of the damaged dam gives way and the water rushes toward the strip completely destroying it. After Godzilla comes to his senses he leaves.

Credits
Story Notes

Godzilla's contemplation of attacking the strip and subsequent rampage plays alongside a compulsive gambler's contemplation of using his last dime to gamble and subsequent gambling at the slot machines and roulette table. Both characters walk off into the desert dazed after the stories events.
