Synopsis
An oil company expedition travels to an uncharted island in the Indian Ocean. Paleontologist Jack Prescott stows away on the ship after hearing rumors about the island. En route, they rescue Dwan, a survivor of a shipwreck. Upon arrival, they discover that the island is inhabited by natives who worship a giant ape called Kong. The natives kidnap Dwan and attempt to sacrifice her to Kong, but she is rescued. Kong is subsequently captured and brought back to New York City for exhibition at the World Trade Center. However, Kong escapes and wreaks havoc in Manhattan.
