Plot

Doraemon and his friends meet a strange robot boy from a futuristic ordering machine. Through a difficult time space maze (possibly a deep hole), they finally reach the boy's planet, but many treasures fall. The party goes to Dr. Capek's house and learns about Queen Jane's "Robot Reproduction Plan" to eliminate the robot's emotions stemming from the loss of its previous vengeful father and the Commander's support. Dister. The young Poko leaves alone to search for the captured Maria, who was attacked by the Queen's army. The group saves the boy, but Doraemon, a robot, is captured. He is locked up and meets Maria. Thanks to the "tickling solution", he defeated the "Invincible King" in the battle in the robot arena and met his friends again. Both Doraemon and Poko set out for the Rainbow Valley and inadvertently saved Queen Jenna from the murderous plot of Dister, who has now become the new King. They and the people of the robotic kingdom attacked Dister in Rome but did not expect this to be a giant robot. Thanks to the "universal steering wheel", Nobita controlled "Robot Arena" to defeat the Robot into Drai but it turned into a rocket carrying both Doraemon and Maria, preparing to crash into the moon - a natural satellite of this planet. Thanks to the delivery machine, Doraemon reunited with his friends and mother, Poko, was reunited; they also discovered that Dister was the younger brother of Dr. Capek. Finally, the robot kingdom returned to the peaceful, happy days as before.
