Summary
One day, Bulma asked Son Goku and Son Gohan to help her out in the opening public tour of the Capsule Corporation. Goku was tired and did not feel like helping, but Chichi had talked him into it by saying that he ought to act fatherly and go with Gohan. Vegeta spotted him and the two started quarreling immediately. Vegeta seemed a bit sensitive because he was not yet able to become a Super Saiyan.
As Bulma tried to calm them down, Dr. Brief informed everyone that a mysterious object had fallen towards the Capsule Corporation. The object turned out to be the spaceship of Broly and Paragus who had arrived to destroy Earth. The first thing they wanted to do was make Kakarrot (Goku) their henchman. Goku seemed to recognize Paragus. Broly was in his Super Saiyan form, and belittled Goku and the others. Goku turned into a Super Saiyan himself and fought against Broly, while Paragus tried to capture Bulma. Paragus' control device for Broly eventually broke and caused Broly to run wild. Paragus mentioned that this happened every day. Broly soon transformed into his Legendary Super Saiyan form, but in the end the Z Warriors managed to drive him off, with Bulma's skill with machinery playing a major role in his defeat.
Broly and Paragus simply retreated, and Paragus had to carry Broly to safety on his back.
