Note: This is based on the Funimatoin dub of the series.
This movie introduces a boy with a tail named Goku. He is fishing with his tail acting as a lure. Goku easily kills the fish and starts the journey back to his house. A girl with purple hair named Bulma (Why is it that she has purple hair? The only reason possible is because her father has purple hair, but why change it from her normal blue to purple?). She hits Goku with her car, but when he survives, she shoots him three times in the head. He thinks that she is a monster until she tells him that she is a girl. She explains most of what she knows about the Dragonballs, and Goku decides to go with her on the hunt for the remaining four Dragonballs. She pulls out her capsule box and throws a capsule that turns into a motorcycle, and they speed off. (You can read about the events up to this point in further detail in my Dragonball Story post.) A short man is holding the Dragonball, demanding that someone should retrieve the other six. This man, although not yet announced in the movie, is Commander Red, the leader of the Red Ribbon Army. They are in the desert when they see a giant talking bull. When Goku is not scared at the creature, it changes into a robot with a soup bowl. He tries to intimidate Goku, but he burns himself with his soup. Goku sees a large rock, throws it into the air, then breaks it. This scares the shape-shifter, but trying not to show it, he says he needs to leave and turns into a bat and tries to flee. Once he is in the air, however, he turns into a pig and falls to the ground. Goku asks why he does not change again, and the pig says that it only works for five minutes at a time. Then a man shoots a rocket at the three. It hits a nearby mushroom-shaped tree, throwing them in different directions. The man and his faithful furry sidekick fly in on a hover-bike. The man jumps off the vehicle and almost slashes Goku's head off. The furry creature and pig recognize each other having met at shape-shifting school. The furry creature named Puar, and the pig named Oolong. When Goku does not give the man some capsules, the man launches an attack known as Wolf Fang Fist, which sends Goku flying into another mushroom-shaped tree. After this, Puar congratulates the man, reaveling his name to be Yamcha. Yamcha is about to launch his attack again when Bulma gets up, saying "Wolf...Fang...Oh my gosh, a girl," very quickly. Bulma thinks he looks dreamy, and Yamcha, with his shyness around women his age, flees. Oolong joins their quest, and they soon find another Dragonball in a flower patch. They set off for a very cold portion of the world to find the next Dragonball. This brings them to the Red Ribbon Army's Muscle Tower. Goku defeats all of the soldiers on the outside, then works his way through the inside. This includes fighting Major Metalitron and going to the top floor to face the General White, the master of Muscle Tower. When he panics, he activates Android 8, and orders him to kill Goku. When he is choking Goku, he seems to gain a mind of his own, which includes a concounce. He then refuses to fight or be cruel, even at the threat of the bomb inside of him going off. General White is about to push the button when Goku throws his Power Pole to hit it out of his hand, destroying it. Then he jumps on White and knocks him out. Goku and Android 8 play in the snow, and Goku nicknames his new friend Eighter. While Oolong is driving them to the next Dragonball, a tortoise bumps its way into the road, and Oolong makes a sharp stop. They drive Turtle back to the ocean by sunset, and he tells them that he will return with a reward in the morning. At dawn, Goku is awake and does something that it classic in the second episode of Dragonball(if you want to read about it, go to my Dragonball Story post) that I will not go into. Turtle comes back a little later with his master, Master Roshi, on his back. Goku is fasinated with Master Roshi when he tells Goku that he trained Goku's step-grandfather, Gohan. Goku's reward is the Flying Nimbus. Bulma's reward is the Dragonball that is in Master Roshi's possession in exchange for something that I will not go into. Then Bulma realizes something else I will not go into(if you want to know, watch the movie, or read my Dragonball Story post). Then General Blue shows up with the Red Ribbon Army's navy. Master Roshi powers up and fires a Kamehameha Wave that destroys all of the surface ships. Then Blue brings up all his submarines, and with Master Roshi exhausted, it seems that there is no way for them to stop General Blue from taking the Dragonballs. Goku launches a Kamehameha Wave, destroying all of the submarines. Then Goku gets hit by a missile, and he falls unconscious. Then some land soldiers force Bulma to hand over the five Dragonballs with her, but this did not include the Dragonball Goku had. Yamcha tries to sneak up on Blue and knock him out, but Bulma waves to him, giving him away and letting Blue punch him in the face. Blue and his men take the five of them to the Red Ribbon Army headquarters. Goku soon wakes up, thinking everyone left him until he finds Bulma's Dragon Radar. He uses it to find the Red Ribbon Army headquarters and starts the journey there. Blue gives Commander Red the five Dragonballs, but Red is still mad because the last Dragonball was twenty yards away in Goku's pouch tied around his waist. Red has soldiers come in and take Blue away for execution. He tells Officer Black to tell Colonel Violet to get the final Dragonball. Goku fights planes on the way, led by Colonel Violet. He crashes into her plane, which destroys it after it lands. Bulma tries to have Oolong morph into a key so that they can bust out of there, but he keeps failing. He eventually manages it around the same time Goku shows up at the fortress. Goku fights his way to the building itself when his friends bust out. Officer Black and Commander Red escape to another tower, and Bulma spots them and point them out to Goku. Goku sets off after them. Then Red tells Black his wish to the dragon would be to be very tall. This angers Officer Black so much that he shoots Commander Red and promotes himself to Commander Black, head of the Black Ribbon Army. He flees in a ship thing, only so that he could connect his ship thingy to a giant robot. Goku fights the robot, eventually resorting to his Kamehameha Wave, but it too fails. Black eventually knocks Goku out with a powerful blow to the head. He is about to blow Goku sky high when Eighter shows up and kicks the robot, saving Goku's life. Then he continues the fight, and Black calls him "the infamous Android 8, the flaw." While the robot is crushing/destroying him, he replies, "I'm not Android 8. My name is Eighter!" Then the robot destroys him. Goku awakens to see the destruction of his friend. Goku is so upset that he starts screaming, and a blue aura surrounds him that rises into the clouds. He screams for so long you would think he is becoming a Super Saiyan! He then fires a super powerful Kamehameha Wave at the robot, destroying it and Commander Black. Bulma then gathers the Dragonballs and summons Shenron. Goku wishes that Eighter would be revived, but without the bomb. Shenron grants this wish, and the seven Dragonballs are scattered throughout the world. He sees his friend get up, and Goku starts laughing. This ends the final Dragonball movie.
