Crushers are intergalactic problem solvers who can handle any job for the right price. Joe leads a small team consisting of Talos, Alfin, Ricky, and others on routine assignments such as escorting cryogenically frozen heiresses to medical facilities. However, their mission goes awry when the girl disappears during an assignment. It appears that space pirates are trying to use them as pawns in a game of deception. Joe is not pleased with this turn of events and decides to track down the pirates' home world. The team must rescue the heiress while simultaneously taking down the pirates, which involves intense space battles, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat.
Crusher Joe won the 1983 Animage Anime Grand Prix Award.
