In order to retrieve a highly radioactive element for his mysterious benefactor, Madame X, the conniving Dr. Who (not that Dr. Who… or is it?) builds and employs a robotic replica of King Kong. That doesn’t work, so the devious duo scheme to kidnap the real Kong from his remote island home. It’s up to the heroic trio of U.S. Cmdr. Carl Nelson, Lt. Jiro Nomura, and Kong's current crush, Lt. Susan Miller, to thwart the greedy ape-nappers!
