Broke and alone, Ann wanders through the streets looking for work or auditions while dreaming of a better lifestyle than this only to be rejected from one job position after another then begins starts to doubt herself ("???").

Around the same time, filmmaker Carl Denham leaves the screening of Brad's film and goes to a meeting with the board of exc. producers that afternoon to grant him the funding for the expedition to film his next picture. However, after explaining his plan they are less thrilled at the prospect of wasting their money on a wild goose chase when Mr. Weaving sparked some interest in Denham's proposal and financed the expedition. The other three reluctantly agree but all warned Denham that this his last chance to give them a profitable film or his career as a director is done. As Carl exits the building, he brushes off the producer's warning but walks to his car where his devoted assistant Preston waits at the wheel and the they drove off in to the city traffic. Carl informs Preston that not only he has already closed a deal with Brad to be the lead star his next picture, but they precured the funding they need for the expedition and immediately make preparations. Preston had pointed out that they're missing however is a leading lady after their last actress pulled out. This prompts the two to search for an actress in the next twenty-four hours.

Hours later after sunset, Ann stressfully strolls down the side walk passing by a fruit stand as she passes by then she spots a red apple. Desperate and hungry, Ann steals the apple only to be spotted by the vendor and later a patrolling policeman then was chased through the city crowds, and as she runs across the street, she inadvertently stumbling in Carl's path after bumping in front of his car. As Carl gets out and helps Ann up, he instantly sees the Hollywood quality in her violet eyes when the Vendor came with the policeman attempts to arrest her. Carl comes to Ann's defense that she's a poor young woman just hungry and had Preston to pay vendor with a buck for the apple and the cop leaves. The two then give Ann a ride in the car somewhere to eat.

At a café, Denham buys Ann a meal and formerly introduced himself and Preston. Although she's grateful to them but she's recalls that she has rough day after her theatre was shut down and regrets from stealing too. Carl sympathies for her troubles then tells Ann that her beauty is perfect for the lead role for his film he's been searching for and enthusiastically offers her an opportunity to escape the depression lifestyle and onto the adventure of a lifetime. Ann is apprehensive and unsure at first but after Carl and Preston enticing her in a song ("???"), she agrees and signs the contract. Unaware to them, they're being spied upon by a young journalist and cub reporter, Jack Driscoll outside the café disguised wearing a trench coat. Jack has been keeping tabs on Denham to get a scoop on his project for weeks to keep his job for the NY newspaper.

The following night, Carl, Preston and Ann arrive at the Hoboken docks where their moving picture ship, the SS Wanderer is weighing to set sail. Carl then introduced Ann to the ship's skipper Captain Englehorn and his first-mate Wayland Hayes. Stepping aboard and being escorted to her cabin by Preston, Ann meets Theo, cabin boy of the ship who kindly offered to help carry her luggage. To Ann's surprise, Brad Maxwell arrives onboard, whom she has bit of a crush on. Joining the the voyage is Professor J.B. Hamilton and his assistant Christopher, who were invited by Denham, arrive with their scientific equipment, followed by Jack Driscoll who manages to convince Englehorn to be on board to have an interview with Carl Denham, five minutes of his time. Ann manages to get to her cabin with Theo and Preston's help, inside she meets the feisty latina second mate, Rayna Caruso who has taken a liking to Ann, knowing it's nice to have another woman on board for a change then helps her unpack for they are now roommates. Preston then leaves to assist Brad with his luggage and escort him to his cabin.

Jack nearly finishes his interview with Carl but with the last of Carl's production equipment loaded below cargo, the Wanderer has already departed from the port. Jack sees the ship moving and tries to make haste but is too late. Carl comes by and tells Jack that having a journalist around like himself will be a beneficial asset for his project and have a big story for the papers when they return. They were being spied on my a mysterious individual on board from the shadows.

The next morning as the Wanderer sails through the Atlantic, Rayna gives Ann a tour through the Wanderer while meeting the rest of the crew along the way: The ship's lovable cook Lumpy, his two friends the sous chef Kafi and Choy the cargo supplier; Briggs the ship's third mate/helmsman; LaRoche the French rigger; Shepard another deckhand; and his entomophobia friend Frank O'Neil; and Duke, the tall silent but soft anchorman. Ann then meets Carl's production crew: his cameraman Gordan; Jared the sound recordist; and his screenwriter Chester who had finalized her scripts.

Ann was walking through the ship reading and rehearsing through her scripts, when she bumps into Jack Driscoll on deck while carrying his notes pads. They both apologize simultaneously they get a "love a first sight moment" before introducing each other. Ann thanks Jack for helping her sort her scripts and makes her way on deck for Carl that they're ready for filming in few minutes. While going through her scripts with Jack, they both comes across an unfamiliar rifle on top of several crates and almost touches it when a voice from the shadows behind Ann alarms her; a shady-yet infamous hunter comes from the shadow to advised her not to touch things that don't belong to her if she wants to keep her pretty hands but jokes at it. Carl comes by to see that Ann has met Jack and the hunter's name revealed to Nile Serrone whom he hired for protection and tracking skills for the expedition and Niles introduced her to his associates Burke and Snyder. Later in the afternoon, Ann gets in costume and Carl starts filming test shots a classic scene on deck shooting her and Brad together while allowing most other sailors to serve as background material and the others watch. Upon finishing the scene Ann unfortunately soon discovers that Brad is not as charming in his films and only cares about himself. Though she did had praise from Jack, Carl, Theo, Rayna, Lumpy, Englehorn, Hamilton and Christopher. They all then hear gunshots from Nile who is target practicing. Later that evening, Englehorn had a private conversation with Carl of their destination as they begin their passing through the Indian Ocean but a unaware that Rayna and Hayes are eavesdropping.

The next night, Jack interviews Carl Denham with Preston in the mess hall, taking notes and discussing not only the story of the film, but curious of their destination. In which Hayes, Rayna, Briggs and Lumpy come in to confront Denham on the subject, to which he responds to tell them all the truth in private. After Englehorn joins in, Carl unfolds and reveals the map that depicts the location of the mythical Skull Island, said to be the last undiscovered land in the world somewhere in the Pacific. Though Hayes, Lumpy and Briggs counter Carl's claim said there was more and Jack asked of what they mean. Several years earlier, they worked their passing on a Norwegian barque when they found a castaway who had been drifting at sea for days. The castaway tells them of a very disturbing story of he and his crew shipwrecked on an island hidden in fog. Carl cuts in and tells of an ancient hundred foot stone wall on the map, built by a lost civilization from a bygone era that it was still strong today as it was ages ago. When Jack questions of why the wall was built, Carl explains the castaway was raving about a mythical beast god called "Kong" that rules the island “said to be neither beast nor man, but monstrous in nature" and is feared and worshipped by the local natives. The castaway immediately dies from a heart attack before more could be said. However, Reyna was the only one unfazed and scoffs the whole story for she doesn't believe in ghost and monster stories her whole life and speculates that the man was hallucinating from drinking saltwater and that this whole voyage is a wild goose chase, much to Carl's dismay. They were soon surprised by the appearance of Theo, who was up to get a drink of water. Carl strictly advised to keep this conversation between themselves from the rest of the crew, especially Ann and Brad. Unbeknownst to them, Niles was out in the hallway eavesdropping on the whole thing then walks away giving a sinister grin.

Eight weeks at sea passed with Ann has found comfort from enjoying parties to helping Theo and Reyna and finishing several scenes for Carl. Jack's feelings for Ann grows more for he starts to fall in love with her ("???"). As the Wanderer enters the Pacific, tensions rise amongst the crew with Englehorn considering of changing course when all of a sudden his compass becomes erratic, as well as the ship's radio starts to receive static. The ship then sails into a fog bank out of nowhere straight ahead. Everyone comes out and see themselves unnerved and unsettled in the anonymous fog. Shepard perches up from the crows nest and shines his flashlight. Englehorn orders LaRoche and Frank to measure the depths by lead line and Briggs to reduce speed. After Frank announces 30 fathoms, but no bottom, Hayes recommends to Englehorn that they should stop the ship until LaRoche announces that they have touched the seabed of 24 fathoms and begin shallowing. Carl then takes is as a opportunity to film a scene in the mist then calls Ann for the role in which she lets out a loud scream in the wind followed a loud echoed roar in the fog that stuns the crew. Atop the lookout, Shepard looks around all sides then sees the encircling jagged rocks and as they sail further, he sees land but wall ahead. After barely maneuvering jagged rocks, the ship then stops all engines by an open area. At daybreak, the fog clears to reveal an huge Island in sight with a stone wall and a giant mountain in the vast distance with a rock formation shaped like a human skull. To Carl's excitement and Ann's, Jack's, Rayna's and everyone's surprise and disbelief, they have reach their destination: Skull Island.

Dropping anchor, Denham and Englehorn gather a small scouting party to the Island while Hayes and Briggs take charge of the ship to oversees the repairs. Ann asked Carl if she's coming to and he corrects her with enthusiasm. Jack come by to objects that it may not be a good idea to bring Ann to the island, but Carl dismisses him that he always keeps his cast and camera with him. Theo tried to come alone but Briggs stops until Rayna approves fo him to stay close. They all rowed ashore with Englehorn, Carl, Preston, his film crew, Niles, Brad and few sailors in the first boat while Ann, Jack, Rayna, Theo, Hamilton, Christopher and few other sailors in the second boat. On the beach, Carl begins production of filming a romance scene for Brad and Ann. Before they could get another take, Ann was distracted by sound of faint drumming nearby and they all hear it as well. They then go to investigate and Rayna orders three sailors stay behind with the lifeboats.

They then discover a large village and a huge stone wall behind it with a large wooden gate that cuts off it from the rest of the island just as Carl's map described. As they go deeper into the village, the drumming becomes louder and the crew now hear singing from the island's natives gathered at the gate performing a some sort of ritual ("???") and see four native woman kneed down distressed in garments and an elder native, the Shaman walks before them to choose one of them. When Carl tells Gordon to film the ritual out in the open, the tribe's chief spots them and angrily halts the ceremony and the natives turn their attention as the crew now slowly moves out in the open for the villagers to see.

The chieftain and his retinue of warriors and witch doctors approaches the intruders and though Englehorn's native translation was rusty, but Hamilton is able to understand native speech and explain to the natives that they come in peace but the chief is having none of it when suddenly his son and daughter, Faraji and Amaya come from the crowd to act as mediators between both sides for they speak english much to the crew's surprise and explained to them that they are intruding their village, interrupted their sacred ceremony and their father demands them to leave immediately for they do not trust outsiders. Carl curiously asks them of what the ritual is about involving the women and Faraji translates his fathers words that one of the young women is to be chosen as a sacrificial gift for their god, Kong at the height of every full moon tonight as it has been their way of life for centuries. Jack asks if there was another way besides sacrifices but Amaya cuts off that would be tragic; if Kong doesn't receive an offering, he would unleash his wrath upon their people. The impatient chief abruptly and angrily silences his children that he's had enough and demanded the crew to leave at once that they do not understand their way of life as the warriors ready their spears as Niles and the sailors ready their rifles when they stop by the elderly shaman's presence.

The chief humbly apologizes for the disturbance but the shaman walks few steps closer at the crew and both Ann, Jack and Rayna notice that he's blind. The wise Shaman comments of the interesting circumstances in his language while he shakenly raise his hand towards directly at the crew. At first Rayna wondered if he is pointing at her but he's actually points to Ann Darrow for he dubs her as the "golden haired one", seemingly captivated by her amazed beauty while seeing her in a golden aura from his point of view. The Shaman declared that Ann is chosen to be offered to Kong, much to everyone's shock and surprise. The Chieftain then offers to trade six of their women to the crew in exchange for Ann. However, Denham thinks it was a good deal but Jack declines, Faraji tried to reason with his father that Ann is an outsider and has no involvement, but he angerly silences his son and rallies the tribe's warriors to take Ann by force as Jack comes in the way to protect her saying they'll have to get through me until the Shaman halts the Chief as he shakes his head in disapproval to prevent them from resorting to unnecessary bloodshed and then whispers in the his ear. Professor and Englehorn assures the Chief that they'll return tomorrow to be more acquainted with a better solution and the Chief seemingly accepts their terms and the crew then make their way back to the boats. The Chieftain tells his son and daughter to go home. Taking the Shaman's wisdom, he commands the village warriors to bring Ann back at nightfall.

Back on the Wanderer, Jack walks up to Ann who was watching the sunset and asks if she's okay. She thanks him for bravely stand up for her from earlier with the natives. Before Jack could confesses his feelings to Ann, Lumpy comes by and tells him that he needs help with vegetables and Englehorn and Carl want a word with him afterwards on the bridge. Ann then gives Jack a kiss on the cheek and tells him that she'll be in her cabin later. Night falls with Ann now alone on deck humming to herself, the determined natives row to the ship in a outrigger canoe as they sneak on board and quietly seizes Ann by pulling her overboard. Ann sees Niles standing there while pleading to help but does nothing but waves her goodbye and walks away before the natives drugged her unconscious, pulls her over the side and carried away back to shore. Hours later before midnight, Jack is with Carl, Reyna, Hayes, Englehorn and Hamilton on the bridge discussing of the Natives when they notice torches are now lit throughout the village from the distance followed by faint drumming. Theo was by himself on deck looking out to the village when he looks down and spots a boney bracelet on ropes then raced off to the bridge. In the village, a dazed Ann regains consciousness and finds herself inside a hut wearing sacrificial garments and barefooted is being prepared for the sacrifice by the islanders. ("???"*reprised*) Faraji and Amaya come in to apologize to her for this that they tried to reason their father to reconsider but he having none of it before the witch doctors come in and forcibly drag Ann through the village while they reprise the song all continuously chant "Kong! Kong! Kong!" all the way to the top of the wall where the Shaman awaits.

At the same time, Theo enters the bridge whilst Jack, Englehorn, Hayes and Denham along Niles when Reyna notices him and he shows her the bony bracelet her. Upon recognizing it belonging to the natives, Reyna asked of where he get, he answers back that he found it on deck. Reyna then shows them the bracelet on the table. Jack asks if they've seen Ann lately but shook their heads as Hayes said not in few hours. Shocked, Jack races to her cabin followed by the others but wasn't there, only to realize the worst; Ann has been taken! Calling all hands on deck by Englehorn, Hayes and Rayna, the sailors load the lifeboats with weapons - rifles and machine guns - while Rayna gets her sword-like machetes while Theo wants to come to, much to her dismay but tell him to stay close to the her and Englehorn. Carl and his production crew also load their film equipment onto another boat. The five lifeboats row through the crashing waves with effort while heading for the beach. On top of the wall, the natives tie Ann's arms to a wooden framework as streams of molten fire pour down from the wall. The Shaman blesses Ann before whispers to her ear in english that he had foretold this day would come and that Ann is special for she will bring peace to Kong and to the island for paradise thrives beyond the walls. He also promises that she'll be okay, much to her confusion. The natives beat the drums even louder to attract their god and the framework starts to tilt Ann and two witch doctors gently across the chasm where the two tie her arms to a sacrificial alter with two stone pillars on the other side and the two men ride the framework back to the wall. The song, drums and chanting immediately stop simultaneously with the Chieftain, Faraji, Amaya, the Shaman and the natives lineup at the top of the wall in silence and banged the golden gong three times.

Ann struggles to free herself when she suddenly hears noises coming from the jungle; branches snapping, leaves rustling and vaguely sees something enormous distantly through the trees but oily smoke obscures her vision for she can do nothing but hear heavy footsteps shake the ground. As smoke clears, the island god Kong, revealing to be a giant 30-foot gorilla, emerges from the jungle and Ann trembles helplessly in fear as the massive ape rises up on his hind legs then lets out a mighty roar echoing the grotto while beating his chest, which caused Ann to scream in terror while the natives cheer for their gods arrival. Kong gets back down on his knuckles then turns his sights to examine Ann by gently stroking her face and hair with his fingers. The crew arrives in the village with Jack, Hayes, Rayna, Englehorn and Denham in the lead as the sailors firing multiple flares in the sky to scare off the natives as they search throughout the huts for Ann. Kong also sees the flares above the wall then grabs and pulls Ann free from the alter before letting out ferocious roar that caused Ann to scream again in terror that echoes everywhere for the crew to hear. Jack realizes she's behind the wall and starts racing up the steps followed by Rayna while Carl and Niles go to the gates to see through an opening, they get a look at Kong holding Ann who then faints unconscious in the beast's grasp and he carries her away back to the jungle but pauses. Kong turns his head and menacingly glance back at the two men before disappearing with Ann into the night. Jack and Rayna made it to the top of the wall only to see Shaman proudly staring at the alter and asks him of Ann until Amaya regretfully tells them they're too late then points out below that Ann is gone.

The crew regroups at the gate where they argue over what they should do. Brad suggests they leave the island but Jack refuses to leave Ann behind. When Jack steps up asks for volunteers to join him on a rescue mission to find Ann which Englehorn approves. Led by Jack, Hayes and Rayna, the group consists of Frank, Shepard, Rigby, Niles, Snyder, Burke, LaRoche and 25 other volunteered sailors whilst Englehorn, Lumpy, Choy, Briggs, Kafi, Duke and the rest of the crew will remain behind at the village and the ship. Carl and his film crew volunteer to come as they bring the camera, tripod and all the film stock along with an unwilling Brad Maxwell followed by the professor and Christopher. Faraji comes out of hiding to warn them about the dangers beyond the walls for most of his people never returned, but never said of what inhabits it. Theo wanted to come along to but Rayna wouldn't allow it with Englehorn agrees and tells him it's too dangerous out there. While everyone stocks up their weapons, ammunition, food and rope, Englehorn promises Jack that they'll keep guard on the wall until they return and that he will provide more supplies from the seaplane. Upon opening the gates and lowering the draw bridge, the party have begun their journey into the jungles of Skull Island with Shaman still on top of the wall looking down.

As they march their way through the densely thick jungle, Rayna carves "X"s on many trees as a means of marking the trail so they won't get lost before Jack and the others start to call out for Ann. They soon hear noises in around then were attacked by a pack of three predators but Niles manage to gun one down, killing it and scaring off the other two. Once Hamilton closely examines and identifies it as an Inostrancevia, Hayes decides for everyone to rest by a nearby ruin for the night. While Jack's insist of they should keep moving on Haye's reprimand that it's not safe to go out in the dark and that they have no idea what else is on this island. Rayna assures him that she believes that Ann will fine and they'll have better chances of finding her in the morning and before going sleep.

At the crack of dawn, O'Neil and Shepard are first to wake up early and go to open up the supply crates for breakfast, only to discovered that Theo has stowed away inside, alerting his presence to the search party. Theo eagerly insists of helping them find Ann and with the Crew can no longer turn back Rayna reluctantly to let Theo tag along but not to wander off. Shortly, Theo, Jack and Rayna stumbles upon a massive footprint left by Kong then was joined by everyone in disbelief, believed to be very beast that has taken Ann. Hamilton is profound and astonished by this discovery tells Christopher to get plaster to cast the footprint, for it shares similarities to a male east-lowland silverback gorilla but not of those size and theorizes it may be an evolved descendent of Chororapithecus. Frank later remarks that they're going to need bigger guns. They follow the footprints along with several broken trees that leads to an opening view, there everyone now shocked and surprised for they learn a vast array of actual living Dinosaurs inhabiting the on the Island from tree grazing Brachiosaurs to flocking Gallimimus, herding Triceratops and soaring Pterosaurs (much to Hamilton's excitement). On their way they soon encountered a lone Iguanodon with Hamilton assuring to the crew that they're safe for it's a herbivore; harmless. After the move on, the Iguanodon comments while munching on leaves "Strange humans. Mmm-hmm."

Meanwhile, Ann wakes up underneath by a large tree but find herself in Kong's palm while he still sleeping. Ann then takes the advantage to escape by slowly sneaks away to the brush and runs off quietly. As Ann races through the jungle, enters a Maiasaura nesting ground almost stepping on an egg then to a tired bu cranky Ankylosaurus and an open field with Termite mounds where she meets a gloomy Termito'Saurus who was only interested in termites. Ann walks to lean back against a huge rock to rest after overwhelmed by the dinosaurs when hears voices from the other side of the rock and when she looks around, she meets Rodney a Stenonychosaurus, and his best friend Dunbar, a Pachyrhinosaurus. The two began to scream with her, each startled by the other until the calmed Dunbar assured Ann that they're not gonna hurt her for they are plant eating dinosaurs. Ann is shaken but later calms down at the moment and the two are amazed that they haven't seen humans around this side of the island for a while as they stick to the village. Ann ask if they could take her there but Rodney states that they never been near the wall before, as well as everyone else for they never bothered the villagers or the other way around. However, Rodney recalls that they have never seen a human like Ann before. They also introduce her to the Termito'Saurus whose name is Earl.

Dunbar shakes in fear for he sees something fast in the distance up far ahead on the fallen branches and Rodney tells Ann to hide in the log nearby and not make a sound. A Raptor pack shows up from the woods and surrounds Rodney and Dumbar. Their alpha, Razor appears and his subordinates Velvet, Splitter, Sickle and Thudd come to harass them. They were on their way to the valley for their breakfast run. As they talk, a raptor named Scowl sniffs around the area when he stops for he catches a Ann's scent close by which leads him to the log. He leaps on the log as Ann inside tries to stay quiet but finds her in side as she yelps in fright out of the log.

He calls to Razor and the the pack of what he has found. Razor amazed to see a human out here Ann attempts to run but Velvet stops her in her tracks. Ann was then rescued by the arrival of Kong who fends off the pack then turns to Ann only to get mad for running off. Rodney and Dunbar are relieved Ann is safe and Kong is here and ask how he's doing. As Kong leaves with Ann, the two decide to tag along.

Following Kong's trail, the search group made their way into the Valley where they came a cross a herd comprised of Brontosaurs, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, Gallimimus and Stegosaurus. Carl had Gordon film the herd with Brad in the shot, but the herd is spooked by the presence of predators close by. A pack of three Allosaurus appear and attacks the herd, causing a stampede towards the party with most of crew manage to avoid getting trampled but three men were killed. The herd chase them through the valley until Razor's pack joined the chase in time and Klaww catching a crew member and other raptors catches Jared then mauls him off screen. Raptors and Allosaurs are seen competing over a dead Edmontosaur when suddenly a roar was heard from the jungles as birds flee, alerting the escaping party. Dharak the Tyrannosaurus Rex appears and overpowers both packs and takes the carcass with him while Carl films it from afar. Before he could, Dharak vaguely sees the party leaving and turns to get information from one of the Raptors of Kong's whereabouts.

Some time around afternoon, Ann being carried by Kong in his grasp as they are trek through the jungle accompanied by Rodney riding on Dunbar's back talking with Ann. Dunbar then sees a large fruit tree and decides for them stop for lunch which Kong sets Ann down and sits next to her. Ann then ask them of what is life on the island like then Rodney explains despite the hazardous terrain, danger around every corner and lurking carnivores, life on the Island is pretty simple for all the food, serenity it has to offer, with the exception with the swamps. Ann asks why but Dumbar insist that she heeds their warning for what lurks there. Ann takes their word but she is still timid around Kong even after saving her life from the raptors. Rodney and Dumbar are very familiar with Kong very much and even though he's intimidating in brooding sort of way, he isn't so bad once she gets to know him on the inside. Kong offers Ann fruit from the tree to see it would make her feel comfortable but a small Alexornis named Sylvie comes down to see what was going on. A male Pteranodon lands in after spotting Rodney and Dunbar whose name is Zephyr then meets Ann. When Rodney and Dumbar ask where Ann came from, they were shocked to learn that she came from the outside world, not from the village. Ann explains to them about the Great Depression when they are visited by a gang a young dinosaurs who are curious at the sight of Ann. Rodney and Dunbar tells her the life of the island with a musical number During a song (???), the music attracts other juvenile and adult dinosaurs who were intrigued by the sight of Ann. Ann's noticed Kong was amused and calmed by her dancing and beautiful singing then she discovers the towering ape's true nature that he's no monster after all and means no harm to her now. The song was stopped by parent dinosaurs who kept their children away from Kong.

Overexcited from the song, Dunbar slips and slides down a muddy slope and hits branches and foliage on the way then lands hard in a clearing. As we opens his eyes, he lies in front of a Pachyrhinosaurus herd he's too familiar with as the robust leader Bulldust walks forward to see what was going on but sees Dunbar, much to his displeasure. Bulldust had once told Dunbar to leave the herd and never return but him nervously claimed that he was just passing through. Ann and Rodney catchup as the herd is in awe by Ann's appearance but ended by the presence of Kong, much to Bulldust chagrin. He then berates Dumbar for his cowardice and turns to Kong that he brings nothing but trouble to everywhere he goes. A young Pachyrhinosaurus wanders to the bushes while following a Longisquama and noticed something moving. As she goes deeper, she's sees the Longisquama lands on something: the nose of a bloodthirsty T-rex. She runs out of the jungle in terror which catches the attention of the herd, Ann, Kong, Rodney and Dumbar. The T-Rex bursts out of the foliage, revealing to be Dharak charging straight towards the herd. Bulldust urgently tells the herd to run for safety while he charges at Dharak to protect his daughter, but was overpowered by the T-rex then turned his sights to Kong. Kong and Dharak start to fight as Ann and Rodney watch one while Dunbar stands in shock, frozen with fear as he remembers a traumatic flashback from his childhood with Ann and Rodney try to snap him out of it. Dharak pins Kong and before he could deliver the kill, he notices Ann then walks over. Before he attempts to eat her, Kong tackles Dharak much to Ann's surprised that Kong has protecting her as he throws Dharak below a pit but lands on the sandy bottom. He vowed that this ain't over for he will hunt him down. They then turned to Dunbar who was saddened to see his herd leaving. Rodney tries to comfort him and it could be worse when it immediately starts to rain.

Elsewhere hours later in the evening the crew take a five minute rest at a clearing hillside underneath trees to keep dry from the rain, tending to the injured. Hayes tells Rayna, Theo and LaRoche to do a head count though Frank points out that six of them are dead. Carl was distraught over Jared's death and with the assurance from Preston, Gordan and Chester that it wasn't his fault then Carl decided to dedicate this film in Jared's memory. However, Niles brings the bearer of bad news that they're off Kong's trail but Hayes reminds them it changes nothing that they still need to catchup to the gorilla if they hope to save Ann and yet, they have no idea where he's taking her. Around the same time, Ann, and Kong rest by underneath large rain tree and a few ruins at a hillside with Rodney and Dumbar as the rain stops. Ann comments of her first day out in the island of making new friends and enemies but sees Dunbar few feet away depressed. Rodney explains to Ann that Dunbar used to be part of that herd until there was a terrible incident occurred four years that involved a hungry Acrocanthosaurus attacking the herd which he failed to protect. Bulldust shunned him from the herd due to his cowardice and Dunbar had lived by himself since knowing he let his family down. After explaining his own backstory to Ann, Rodney and Dumbar shortly founded each other and had became inseparable since. Seeing Dunbar start to shed tears Ann comforts Dumbar for she understands how he feels of being rejected. Rodney also tells her of Kong's unpleasant history with Dharak of the two have been fighting for dominance. When Ann asked them of where Kong lives when Rodney points at the mountains in the vast distance where the tallest peak of Skull Mountain lies a temple ruin where Kong's home resides.

The scene switches to the party where Prof. Hamilton is looking through his telescope when he spots a ruin high in the mountains as Carl takes it then speculate that is Kong's lair. When Rayna ask how would he know that, Carl simply puts that's where'd he live if was king of the island which came to his mind when he trademarks the name 'King Kong.' Hayes then says that's where they need to go to find Ann but Niles did point out it's few hundred miles away from where they are now. Upon arriving to the river, Hayes orders then tells everyone to make camp for the night (Jack, Rayna, Rigby, Preston and Theo to gather firewood while LaRoche, Frank and Shepard and the rest to gather logs to build rafts and keep night watch in shifts) for they need to get up very early tomorrow. While Hamilton understands the task rescuing miss Darrow and yet, they have stumbled up an amazing discovery that they are in a long lost prehistoric eco system for there is so much they can learn from the ruins but Hayes doesn't care. The scene switches back to Ann asking Rodney and Dunbar if there are more giant apes like Kong living up there, including his family. They remain silent for the moment but answers back simply "maybe." Ann looks to Kong for she is much more comfortable with him now and thanks him for protecting her twice today. The clouds begin to clear and reveals an Aurora Borealis lighting up the night sky. Everyone then watches the lighten sky from all over with Ann and Jack thinking about each other as the scenes scrolls showing other dinosaurs admiring the Aurora, including Dharak. Kong sits somberly watching the Aurora then notices An leaning right next while she sleep to him as he gives a little smile as he's becoming fond of her.

Meanwhile back at the village, Captain Englehorn preps the seaplane despite being fifteen years since he flew a plane after the Great War. He lowers it off the ship and into the water then load supplies for the search party. Lumpy comes him as his co-pilot and the two take off before dawn.

At early morning Kong moves on with Ann sleeping on his shoulder but leaves a sleeping Rodney and Dunbar behind. At the same time, the crew finds two of the a parachuted crates sent by Englehorn with food and ammunition inside. They board the rafts on the river and go upstream as they all enjoy the scenery of any dinosaurs. They realize that they were being pursued by a pair of a male and female T-Rexes with Carl filming them. After losing them at the moment, they all witness the first sight of Kong while he fends off a Giganotosaurus to protect Ann with Carl filming the fight. Jack shouts for Ann to know they're here but fails for she was unaware of their presence while still fixated on Kong's fight then the Rexes manage to get around to catchup to the rafts. The situation worsens as the crew heads for the raging rapids leading to a fork straight ahead. The female T-rex jumps to them, causing Theo to be separated from the crew much to Rayna's Jack's and Hayes' shock as he takes the right stream while the continue to the left. The rexes immediately stop their pursuit as the rafts make their way toward the swamp with the male nodding the "she" will be their problem now.

After fending of the Giga, Ann spends a lot of time with Kong spend from tending to her minor injuries to having fun with her frolicking through a grassy plain. During the song,("?") Ann helps out and befriends numerous dinosaurs along the way such as stopping a thieving Oviraptor from steeling an egg from a mother Lambeosaurus, getting a baby triceratops out of the mud, giving a coconut to a group of competing pachycephalosaurs and returning a pterodactyl chick back to her nest. The song ends with Kong giving Ann a beautiful flower native to the island but notices that she's a little dirty from the excitement and finds a place to clean her.

The crew paddle their way through a misty swamp and notices that there aren't any dinosaurs around as Carl, Gordon, Preston and Brad looking every direction uneased. Rayna worries for Theo but Jack asures her that they'll find him too and Ann. Shepard tries to drink his flask to calm his nerves but Hayes snatches it and throws it far where it hits a strange looking fin-like rock. However it was revealed to be a dinosaur sleeping while submerged with its nose sticking out smelling the liquor, zooms in on its awakening eye. As they continue further the rafts are attacked swarms of Proterogyrinus and Jack, Rayna, Hayes, Carl and the others did their best to keep them at bay off but they all retreat when the sense the presence of a predator nearby. Confused for the movement, the two rafts where hit by something huge in the water, which reveals to be a giant prehistoric eel and it attacks the two rafts, breaking them apart. This causes the raft's passengers to plummet in to the water. Jack, Rayna, Hayes, Niles and the others tried shooting it with their rifles and machine guns to scare it away but the eel was too fast as it devours eight other crew members in the struggle. Rigby tries to fight it off but the Eel swipes him away with its tail. Brad struggles in the water pleading for help as it reveals that he can't swim. Jack jumps in and swims to him with Rayna's help but the eel makes another turn to the rafts. Carl tried to defend them but the eel ends up destroying the remaining rafts and it turns its attention to Jack, Brad and Rayna and just when it's about to eat them, a large female Spinosaurus appears from the murky water and attacks both the eel and few crew members. While the Spinosaur is dealing with the eel, the remaining survivors crew began to swim for the closet shore and runs to the jungle for safety. The Spinosaur claws and drags the eel back to the muddy shore to deliver the killing blow. While eating it, the dinosaur soon turn it's attention to find the party for they have violated her territory.

Brad, being fed up with life-threatening dangers, has had enough and decide to return to the ship, abandoning the search for Ann. Jack berates not only for being nothing like the charming hero he played on screen, only both a fraud and a coward. Brad states that he's just an actor and that he never wanted to be apart of this and was almost killed by the giant eel and restate the fact that they lost nine people along the way including Rigby and Jared all for a fool's errand. Although Jack doesn't disagrees with the other sailors deaths, but they made it this far and it won't stop them from finding Ann. Brad calls out to Jack, Rayna, Hayes, Denham and the rest for all being in over their heads and advised them not to bare false hope before making eulogy about Ann knowing that she is dead, which infuriates Jack. He then turns to Hayes and Rayna, asking them on how many more good sailors they intend to sacrifice. Rayna sarcastically asks it he's done complaining, for it's been getting on her nerves. Brad angers her that Theo is dead as well for this place is no place for children and it was his own fault, causing her to slap him and Jack comes in and punches him. Brad retaliates and the two men get into a brawl but the fight was quickly broken up by Hayes and the others. Carl tries to reason with Brad to calm him down but he cuts him off that the movie is over and he quits! As Brad leaves, Hayes asks if anyone else like to return; nine other crew members follow him leave the group despite Reyna and Shepards pleas. Niles decides to talk with Brad while Snyder and Burke lead them all back but promises that he'll catch up. Professor then tells Christopher to go back as well. Niles talks with Brad while he advertently leads him away from the others to have a "private chat" when he stabs his right leg with his hunting knife and kicks him down to to a Proterogyrinus nesting ground. Shocked in horror, Brad asks why and pleads for help but Niles simply puts that he is nothing but deadweight then leaves him to die as his screams were echoed as the amphibians maul on him. Niles leaves to rejoin Jack and the others in quick haste but was unaware Christopher has witnessed it through the bushes.

Elsewhere, Kong finds a waterfall and holds Ann under it for her to be washed, cleaning the mud off. He slipped his footing on a rock and drops her in to stream where goes over another waterfall but survives much to Kong is relief then finds a way down. Ann swims for a bit and she a felt something under and divers that it was a young Brontosaur named Coby swimming by the falls and asks Ann why is she on his back. She learns that he's not alone for he and his family which consists of her mother, father and grandparents are bathing by the falls and greet Ann. Kong soon arrives in to check on Ann who was then greet by the Brontosaurs. Ann was worried that they would hate Kong like the other dinosaurs but the mother tells her that's just silly and learns that not all other dinosaur hate Kong, just simply complicated. As is reminded by his own family, he quickly turns his attention behind him in another direction. Ann asked him what was wrong, the father Brontosaur believes Kong senses something not too far from here for then nods Ann to stay with the Brontosaur family until he returns. The young brontosaur wanted Ann to come along with to join his friends and his parents approve for they have a urgent matter to discuss with the other adult dinosaurs.

The search group arrive at a chasm where they see a tunnel on the other side but no way across. Jack spots a hug fallen tree further down bridging the ravine and the all start to cross it. Professor Hamilton stays behind until the others make sure it is safe until they hear a faint growl echoing from the cave. Kong comes out of the tunnel and interrupts the party's crossing. Amazed by Kong's presence, Hamilton advises everyone to not to provoke him with Jack, Rayna, Hayes, and the men remained still on the log while Carl films Kong calmly. Suddenly, a gunshot was fired out of no where that missed Kong, which provokes him and he vigorously twists the log left to right as few of the crew were shaken off the log, falling into the chasm below while the rest are holding on for dear life. Kong then lifts his end of the log and throws it into the chasm below, with Jack, Rayna, Hayes, LaRoche, Frank, Denham, Chester and Shepard riding it down before hitting jagged rocks. Preston and Gordon fly off the log to grab daggling vines and the others survive the attack along with few crew members left and Hamilton fainted. Kong then retreats to the tunnel when another shot stops him and as he turns to his right, it was Niles, who was revealed to fired the first round earlier. After having and eye-to-eye with Kong, Niles maliciously warns him that they'll meet again "very soon" with a killer look on his face but Kong dismisses him with a grunt and then leaves.

Ann is later seen spending time with a Coby and his friends when they all heard a cry for help. Ann goes to see who it was and finds out it was Theo who is on top of a dead tree surrounded by two circling Allosaurs. The two carnivores tried to knock the tree down but Ann manages to save Theo with Coby and his friends help by distracting the Allosaurs and trip them down a muddy slope. Theo climbs down the tree and embraces Ann, who asks him of why he came here and why he's by himself. Theo explains that he, Hayes, Rayna, Jack, and the crew are out search for her, much to her surprise that they are all out in the jungle looking for her, especially Jack. Before he say more, he bumps into something big behind and as he turns his head and looks up it was Kong towering and looking down on him. Frightened, Theo attempts to flee but Kong easily catches with ease and the holds Theo up to examine by sniffing. Ann calms Theo, saying it's all right and Kong isn't going to hurt him and she tells Kong that Theo is a friend. Sensing that he's not a threat, Kong gently puts the boy down.

At the bottom of the chasm, the surviving party find themselves separated from each other in between a deep trench: Jack being with LaRoche, Shepard, Frank and three sailors on the right while Carl, Rayna, Hayes, Chester and four sailors on the other side. Carl wakes up to looks for his camera, but it was destroyed in the fall along with the rest of the film stock which leaves him devastated. Chester tries to comfort him when he was then snatched and killed by something in the darkness. To everyone's surprise, the pit was infested with giant prehistoric Insects much to Frank's horror. The insects kill off the surviving sailors at quick ease along leaving only Jack, Hayes, Rayna, Carl, Shepard, Frank and LaRoche left to fend them off. Carl snaps and starts killing several insect in a fit of rage along with Frank finally overcomes his fears. They were surround on both sides when Niles, Snyder, Burke and several sailors from the wall came to rescue them, Carl's rage disappears and takes a seat in distraught. Hayes knows it's upstream and north-east to lead them to Kong's lair but Carl calls it quits that there's no reason for him continuing on for he has lost everything - his camera, his film, including Jared and Chester. He decides to head back downstream with the survivors and back to the Wanderer with the others. Remembering Brad's advice, Hayes orders LaRoche, Frank and Shepard to return to the village with Carl while he, Jack and Reyna will find Ann. He cannot afford the risk of losing anymore good men and friends in which they understand but wishes him luck then Niles and Preston drop ropes to pull them up. Jack, Rayna and Hayes were left to continue their search but remained separated, Jack is to find Ann and Theo alone then finds a way to meet up with Hayes and Rayna soon further down.

Kong climbs up many ruins with Ann and Theo riding on his right shoulder while she tells Theo about her time with Kong. They come up to a stone arc with a wooden gate blocked by a stone pillar before he puts down the two. Ann sees a shadow through the holes of the gate indicating there might be something behind it. Kong managers to push the pillar out of the with all his might all of a sudden, Dharak bursts through the gate and headbutts Kong, much to Ann and Theo's shock as Kong didn't see it coming. With Kong dazed, Dharak attacks him followed by a tail whip, knocking him off the cliff, falling into the river below and carried down the stream. Dharak roars in his victory until he quickly turns his head and spots Ann and Theo who then run off and Dharak chases after them.

Jack wanders through the jungle when he hears rumble followed by Ann and Theo's voices. Ann and Theo run down a hill away from Dharak still chasing them into a rocky gorge then head towards a Gallimimus flock to lose the T-Rex but no avail as Dharak scares them all off. Jack goes into an opening then sees Ann with Theo below being chased with the Gallimimus and yells out to them to them to know he's there. Dharak tramples through the Gallimimus then corners Ann and Theo who are trapped in a ruin but Jack throws few rocks at him to get his attention while the two try to escape through a wooden gate. Jacks rushes up to ledge while Ann and Theo climb up the mesa but Dharak breaks down the gate. Theo was the first to go up first then Jack reaches out Ann up as Dharak gets closure. Mere inches Dharak tried to catch Ann's legs in his jaws Jack grabs her hand and pulls her up to safety out of Dharak's reach then he furiously roars in frustration at the three on the ledge vowing to hunt them down and returns the way he came from. Ann embraces Jack that she's so happy to see him again and he hugs her back that he missed and that she's safe which became awkward with Theo staring before they move on.

The three then go through a cave system where they hear voices up ahead and three meet up with Hayes and Rayna. Reunited Rayna was relieve to see Theo safe then turns to Ann not only welcoming her back but asks about the "Tarzan get up" she's wearing in which Ann explains that the natives dressed her for the sacrifice. When Jack notices the flower in Ann's hair and ask of where she got it, she tells them that Kong gave it to her much to Jack, Rayna and Hayes surprise who took it as a joke at first. Theo looks around curiously asks of where's the rest of the crew, Hayes and Reyna didn't answer until but will explain along the way. As they go through the tunnels, Jack, Hayes and Rayna laments Ann and Theo of the fate of the others including Rigby, Jared and Chester, Brad and Carl giving up and that they're the only ones left. Hayes tells them that Kong attacked them at the log bridge though Jack did point out there was a gun shot that provoked him earlier and Ann defends Kong with Theo vouching with her. Hayes says it no longer matters anymore then assures Ann that Kong won't hurt her anymore for they need to find a stretch of water for Englehorn to land so they can get back to the ship.

The quintet find themselves in a misty part of the jungle and appeared to be lost at the moment. As the mist begins to thin, they soon hear faint voice in mist with Hayes ready's his rifle but Ann lowers it for they are familiar to her and to the surprise, she steps on a tail which was Rodney sleeping who yelps in pain along Dunbar who was sleeping aside him. Rodney and Dunbar who are happy to see Ann that they'd been look for her and Kong all morning. Jack, Hayes, Rayna and Theo are left confused, but Ann assures them that they are her friends. After quick introductions, Rodney then assumes that the four are also from the outside world like Ann but mistaken Hayes as one of the natives and was curious about his gun. Dunbar looks around and asks Ann of where Kong is, she informs him they were separated after Dharak knocked him off a cliff and fell into the river but Rodney isn't worried for Kong will be fine that he had survived worse that he's tougher than he looks.

But they see several dinosaurs running in terror all heavy foot steps approaching then see the same Spinosaur from the marshes coming their way, whose name is Synda. Rodney and Dunbar urgently tells them to hide and stay down out of sight while they talk with her. When they nervously ask her of what she is doing far from her swamp, Synda explains that she's hunting for humans that trespassed her territory this morning as Rodney and Dunbar pretend to act surprised of this news. She then ask them if they see any humans around but they told her no for they claimed to have no idea there were humans around these parts but Synda knows better and intimidates them. Out of fear, they lie to the Spinosaur that humans may have gone to the Grove, as only a hunch then Synda leaves and the two sign with relief.

Ann, Jack, Rayna, Theo and Hayes come out of hiding but Rodney and Dunbar turn back at them with horror expressions and Rodney finally explains Ann that Synda is the reason why the swamps are off limits to everyone. He and Dunbar explain Synda's nature for being the second feared predator next to Dharak and has killed any who attempt to pass through her turf. Even if they manage to get out alive, Synda will not rest until she hunts them down for violating her territory. They were alarmed by the sight of the seaplane passing through the trees above with Hayes and Rayna glad to see Englehorn looking for them. Dunbar whispers to Rodney of what a plane is who answers back being "a human thing" then ask everyone for clarification. Rayna explains to them that Englehorn pilots the plan and is looking for t a stretch of water to land on. Rodney and Dunbar suggest that there's a Lake on a plateo but they never actually been there before so they'll go the Watering Hole to ask for directions from a friend of theirs. Hesitant, Hayes reluctantly agrees with Ann of letting Rodney and Dunbar lead the way. Theo stops with Rayna concerned if he okay but he tells her that his feet hurt from the chasing earlier. Dunbar notices and comes over to tell Theo that he can ride on his back for the rest of of the way.

The group made their way to the watering hole which is neutral ground where both herbivore/carnivore gather for a drink. There see see a lone Diplodocus, a laid back Carnotaurus, a Nodosaurus and few hadrosaurs. They then meet Nestor, a Deinocheirus who was enjoy a nice relaxing warm bath in a nearby spring when he sees Rodney and Dunbar who explained to him of the circumstances. They go up to hill side where stood lone dead oak tree with four Pteranodons socializing along with Zephyr perching on there talking with his friends, Zephyr greets them, along with Anne but surprised to see Jack, Hayes, Reyna and Theo. They walk pass a termite mound field and encounter Earl again.

Meanwhile, the remaining survivors still heading back to the wall when Nile notices Carl lagging behind walking slowly as he sulks from his losses. Niles stops to take the time to have a pep-talk while the others go on ahead. Preston pretends to leave then hides in the bushes as he listens in on the conversation. Niles asks Carl of what's troubling him are in which Denham explains that he lost everything and as he goes on on how ruined he is. They are unaware that Razer and his pack had been stalking them from the bushes but also eavesdrop. Fed up with Carl's strife Niles fires his rifle in air which made Denham go silent and Niles tells him off he's not going to stand by hearing Denham's bellyaching and excuses all day cause he is better than this. Nile recounts of when they first met, he described Carl as a determined type of person who doesn't give up till he get what he wants. He then points out that losing the film was a tragic of Denham's end but it doesn't mean they can go back "empty-handed". When Carl curiously ask of what he meant, Niles then manipulates him into catching Kong alive and take him back to NY, in which Carl's, Preston's and the Raptors surprise. Niles recalls of their encounter of Kong from the wall that night explained to the filmmaker that having Kong would be worth more than any motion picture ever made which would make him go down in history by proving those who doubted him wrong and gain the respect and recognition he long desired or he'll become another victim of the Depression reduced becoming a nobody, quickly forgotten from society ("?"). Carl was unsure at first, but it persuaded to go along with the plan they need bait for the trap. Niles responds that Ann Darrow is the bait. He explains that once Jack or whosever left alive manage to rescue her, Kong will be hot on their heels and stop at nothing to take back the woman he's fond of. Carl reluctantly agrees but asks of the rest of the crew, Englehorn and the gas bombs, Niles tells him to leave it to him and if the islanders interfere, there'll be consequences. They meet Preston up ahead who claimed to be exhausted to move and decides for them to catch up and as he and Carl move on, Nile maliciously states that he has played the filmmaker into his hands with a sinister grin on his face.

Kong is seen washed up by the river unconscious but was spotted by a passing male Ankylosaurus and elderly female Styracosaurus. The Ankylosaur hits Kong's chest strongly with his tail club to revive him, pumping the water out of him. Kong thanks them by nodding until he quickly remembers of Dharak and Ann's endangerment and runs off to find her. While Dharak relentless continues his hunt for Ann when he picks up her scent leading to stone ruins nearby.

The group arrive to the lake as they see a Parasaurolophus with her juvenile and a Stegosaur family there to have a drink. They soon see Englehorn and Lumpy come in and lands the seaplane on the water by the edge of shore, much to their happiness. Know it's goodbye, Rodney promises Ann when they find Kong, they'll let him but Dunbar and Theo see a huge fin sticking out in the water then the others notice to, believing to be a large fish. Rodney and Rayna horrifically realized that not a fish and they all yell for Englehorn to take off. Englehorn was puzzled from the group's distanced yelling while he's unaware that the huge fin is swimming towards the plane and Lumpy sees warns him to to his left. The creature attempts to bite the plane but Englehorn manages to take off in time at the last second. The dinosaur was in fact Synda who arose from the water and looms over the group as the other dinosaurs flee in terror. Rodney asks how she find them, She explains that she knew a short cut to the lake then recognizes Hayes, Jack and Rayna from their previous encounter. She turns to Rodney and Dunbar shaking with fear for they had lied to her and even though they had, Dunbar state that the weren't going to sell out their friends. Hayes acts by raising his rifle and shoots at Synda only to to graze her cheek to both harming and enraging the beast. Synda promises Hayes that he'll pay for that then roars furiously cause the group to run up to a a temple with a large crooked wooden gate as Dunbar his a few rocks hoping to stall Synda but failed. Ann, Jack, Rayna, Theo, Rodney, Hayes and Dunbar make haste up the ruins with Synda giving chase.

They all manage to get to safety and find themselves in a clustered area surrounded by ruins but hear Synda starts breaking down the gate by thrashing and clawing it knowing it's ancient and weaken state. Jack and Rodney look around but see no other way out and that they're trapped. Hayes laments that the door isn't going to take much more and they got nothing to stopping Synda. Ann looks around seeing Hayes' Jack and Rayna's desperation, Rodney and Dunbar holdin' onto each other while shaking with fear and Theo holding her hand to ask if they're going to die but Ann gets a determined look on her face knowing that she has the answer to their situation. She tells them that there is another way, there's someone out there who can help and she knows how to call him. Rayna asks who, Ann proposes idea of summon Kong by lighting a fire in the urns on top of the stone mesa, he'll come. Hayes strongly opposes that idea of calling that monster but Ann turns back with a stern look and shots back that Kong is not a monster, noting he could of killed her but instead he protected her. Hayes still has no faith or trust in Kong at all then Rayna ask if Hayes has a better alternative but doesn't respond. Theo urges him to listen to Ann for he believes in Kong too, as do Rodney and Dunbar also vouch for Kong 'cause they have known him longer than they do and Dunbar berates Hayes of sounding being like every other dinosaur for mistreating Kong.

Ann starts to climb the mesa until Synda breaks through the gate to get them. They all seek shelter in a viaduct while and Rodney and Dunbar shiver in a cornered ledge. Ann makes a mad dash back the mesa to call Kong, much to Hayes' dismay. Jack goes after her but distracts Synda by throwing boney spears at her with Hayes using his Thompson gun. Ann makes to the top and starts to make a fire when she and everyone including Synda hear something big coming. Ann thought it was Kong but it was Dharak breaking through a stone barrier then lets out a ferocious roar, much to Rodney and Dunbar's terror. Dharak snarls at Synda ask her of what she's doing out of her swamp which she responds by telling him to stay out of it that this is her kill. Dharak is okay with her going after the other but Ann is different while turning his sights to her as she makes a fire. With Dharak and Synda fighting, Hayes yells at Ann to get back down but she lights the urn and shouts for Kong, who responds with a roar alerting Dharak and Synda's attention. Kong arrives beating his chest with roars much to Theo's, Rodney and Dunbar's relief and joy. while at the two carnivores roar back at him in unison then called a truse to deal with Kong but Dharak still intends on killing him first which Synda reluctantly agrees. Seeing that Ann's safe, Kong reaches up and gently grabs Ann but Hayes spoils the reunion by shooting him, demand to let her go. While charging Synda raiser her left claws for Theo yelling at Hayes to lookout but was too late as Synda slashes into his abdomen and fling Hayes against a wall (much to Rayna and Theo's horror) as She and Dharak plow straight into Kong with Jack in shock. Rodney and Dunbar's ledge breaks away and start to ride it.

The three beasts star tumble off the cliff and slide down the slopes with Kong protecting Ann while fending off Dharak and Synda. Rodney and Dunbar ride their ledge to get Ann who. They all settle down in an vast circulare ruins shaped like an arena filled with several bones and skeletons. Other wayward dinosaurs were alerted by the disturbance and see Kong about to fight both Dharak and Synda, much to their surprise. Four gossiping Dimorphodons fly off to spread the word of this. At first it was just Kong dealing with Dharak and Synda but the situation got worse when the same Giganotosaurus appears from behind and the three carnivores circle Kong becoming a three against one situation. The arena becomes instantly crowded with dinosaurs; herbivores on one side and predator alike along with familiar faces around come to spectate the fight. The Giganotosaurus attacks Kong from behind by biting his shoulder then Dharak and Synda advance. Kong punches Dharak and swats Synda then throws the Giganotosaurus off him and into Synda. Ann can do nothing but watch as she shows signs of great concern on her face to see Kong at an disadvantage. Dharak rams him with a headbutt to knock him down then lept on top go in for the kill but Kong blocks with his left forearm until Synda and the Giganotosaurus recover and join the mauling. Kong then throws them all off him with immense strength. Cobi and his family arrive to see what the fuss is then sees Kong facing three carnivores now and to their shock, the see Ann is down there too and make their way down. Kong smacks Dharak away and grabs his tail then swings him around as Synda and the Giganatosaur. He lets go and Dharak is sent flying against a rocky wall and rendered unconscious.

Kong manages to bury the Giganotosaurus in rubble but Synda ferociously tail whips Kong to a mass bone pile where he becomes entangled. Ann, along with he crowd is shocked as Synda move in on the helpless ape at his mercy. Ann desperately takes a sharp jagged bone and rushes to save Kong. Synda pinns Kong to tell him that she plans to go after after Ann and the other and just when she's about to deliver the final blow, Ann viciously stabs her ankle causing Synda to painfully roar. Synda is now furious turns her attention to Ann after stabbing her leg and goes after her where Ann finds safety in a mass bone pile but Synda starts digging her way. Seeing Ann in danger, Kong struggles get himself free from the entanglement. Rodney urgently tells Dunbar to swallow up is fear for the sake of Ann. Synda manages to clear many bones away as Ann in now cornered until Dunbar charges right at Synda's injured leg. Cobi's father lowers his tail and attempt to pull Ann out of there but Synda grabs him with her jaws then pulls him down and into a wall and she threatens him to stay out of this. Synda returns to Ann but is she's unaware that Kong is now free as he lunges at her with Ann moving out of the way. Their struggles against the wall causes mass boulders to move which kong sees and gives him an idea; he breaks Synda's injured leg and used sauropod ribcage to trap her under then thrashes the walls. This fractures apart the the cliff enough to cause a rock slide, Synda looks up in fear and tries to free herself, then she is buried and crushed in a mountain of rocks. The dinosaur crowd, Rodney, Dunbar, Cobi, his family, friends and the Raptors shocked that Synda has been killed but is not over yet. The Giganotosaurus gets back on his feat and roars at Ann in its sights and starts to approached but Kong appears right behind her and confronts it. The dinosaur advances when Ann retreats behind Kong for shelter. After a moment of roaring and sizing each other up, the Giganotosaurus and Kong charge when he grabs its jaw before wrestling to the ground and ride on it's back. Rodney and Dunbar quickly learn what Kong is about do and they tell Ann to look away for. The Giganotosaurus stands back up tries to break free from Kong's grasp by flailing but his weight was too much was son pinned to the ground. The dino crowd reactions was uncomfortable for what Kong is going to do something brutal. Kong punched its head then pried the carnivores jaws wider until it snapped along with breaking his neck off screen before playing with the mighty dinos jaws and drops to one knee from exhaustion.

The crowd shared in total dumbshock in mere seconds for erupting in furious cheering and bellows as Kong gets back up and looks around at those who had been harsh to him his life and has unknowingly proved their doubts to him wrong while few carnivores booed at him with most cheering. Kong then puts one foot on the dead dinosaur then lets out victorious roar while beating his chest in triumphant. The dinosaurs make their down to the arena ground and congratulate Kong and apologize for shunning, misjudging and treating him like an outcast for all these years for he has now earned their love and respect, Ms. Muchberry pointed out that he even risked his own life protecting Ann. They also point out with Synda now dead, the dinosaurs can get around easy now that the swamps are safe, except for the eels. Then they turn to Dharak where one of the Pterosaurs says he still breathing but unconscious

Jack, seeing through binoculars, is relieved that Ann is still okay as she is carried by Kong up the stairs but turns his attention on Rayna and Theo who attending fatally wounded Hayes. Englehorn and Lumpy rush up the temple to the others after landing the seaplane. Theo explains to them it's not Kong's fault for it was the Synda who slashed Hayes. Hayes is grateful to see Englehorn and Lumpy again but tells with his last breath; It was an honor to serve Englehorn, knowing Lumpy is a good friend, as is Rayna and Jack being the bravest guy he's ever met since this adventure started and tells Theo he's growing up to be a fine cabin boy. Hayes succumbs to his wounds an dies in Rayna's arms who burst in tears along with Theo and Jack while Englehorn and Lumpy take off their hats in respect for their oldest friend. They start to make a buriel grave with rocks.

After climbing up the long staircase Kong and Ann have reached to the entrance of his temple lair. Ann asks Kong if his family is inside waiting for him but not response as then the the both go in. Inside Ann looks around and sees many hieroglyphics on the walls with the temple but noticed a giant skeletal arm when suddenly a giant Pterosaur, a Quetzalcoatlus appears in-front of them who kindly asked Kong of where he has been for she was worried that he never returned yesterday not before noticing Ann next to him. She greets her and introduced herself D'Mira. A gruff Dimetrodon named Samto comes from the ruins next door to know what was the ruckus then sees Kong is back and sees Ann but assures her that he lost his taste for human flesh along time ago. Ann then ask them is Kong's family is inside but see Kong further past the pillars inside inner sanctum. As Ann follows to the top she stops and shocked in horror for she sees giant gorilla skeletons lying all over the temple. D'Mira comforts her and apologizes for having to see this. Confused, Ann doesn't understand and ask of what happened. D'Mira explained long ago, Kong's kind once roamed all across the island for they usualyl reside in the mountainous plains in large and family groups. However, as centuries pass, they slowly disappeared or died out from natural events or predators. All that remained were Kong and his family; his two siblings and his mother and father but she tells Ann further that they were killed by an unknown entity, Kong was the only survivor who manage to escape the creature fled to the temple and D'Mira notes that every dinosaurs know but refused to talk about it. With that being said, Ann learns that Kong is indeed the last of his kind. D'Mira also explains that she found him in very temple and decide to take him under her wing. His life changed after a confrontation with a certain young t-rex, he became less social and always felt that he's still alone the reasoning why he felt so misunderstood and lonely growing up. They then see Kong paying respect to two preserved skeleton which are actually his mother and father who remains were gather by Kong to be taken back to his lair and made a shrine. Anne now shows great sympathy for him

Englehorn, Rayna, Lumpy and Theo made their way back to the plane on the lake and when Englehorn is prepares for take off, they see Jack stand while looks to the mountains, staring at Kong's lair. After everything they have been through, Jack still determined to get Ann back but Rayna tells him that's crazy for he can't go out there alone and decides to come with him for they had started this together and that's how they're gonna finish it. Rayna tells Theo to go back to he ship with Englehorn as he sits with Lumpy. Englehorn and Lumpy wished them luck before leaving.

In the Lair, Ann goes up to an opened area to see Kong sitting while longingly gazes at the setting sun. Now much more sympathetic, She then walks up to his arm and hugs him to apologizes him that feeling so lonely his entire life. Meanwhile, Jack and Rayna march their through dense vegetation up to the mountains and Jack realizes the kind of person he has been through out the voyage, his career and his true feelings for Ann and he willing to give up his journalist career to be the woman she is in love with. D'Mira and Samson hear a something loud in the cave but see nothing. Samson think is may be falling stalagmites, knowing the state of the ancient temple then goes off to sleep. As the camera zooms out, something slithers in the darkness followed by a faint hiss. Englehorn, Theo and Lumpy return to the village but sees all the sailors gathering tons of ropes and grabbling hooks but sees Brings, Kafi, Choy, Shepard, Frank, LaRoche and Duke stand doing nothing but look on in concern. Englehorn asked them to know what is going on but Niles tells him that this is a mutiny.

Jack and Rayna make their into the temple lair quietly but also see the giant ape bones inside but Rayna heard a hissing sound nearby. As they go up the steps to Kong's den, seeing Ann sleeping in his palm along with the slumbering giant. They quietly wake and coaxes Ann to come with them back to the ship. In hesitation, Ann kiss Kong's hand and apologizes while he sleeps. At they make their way to the exit, they explained her of what happened to Hayes are reencountered by Rigby, who revealed to have survived the giant eel attack but is now traumatically deranged for what he had been through all day after being separated from the group. Rayna, Jack and Ann attempted to calm him down to lower his voice but he's having none of it for he is now dead-set on hunting Kong until he failed to notices that there's something huge behind him that swallows him whole. It was revealed to be a Titanoboa which then lunges at them causing Ann to scream, alarming Kong to awaken. Kong jumps on to the snake but it attacked from behind by another Titanoboa, constricting his neck. While Kong is distracted, Jack, holding onto Ann's hand and Rayna walk up to the cliff side only to be attack by giant Pterodactylus. Kong fights of the snakes with D'Mira's aid then kill them by thrashing them against the rocks, crushing them to death. Kong them goes up to fight the Pterodactylus while Jack, Ann and Rayna climb down a vine to escape, but after Kong kills the pterosaur he reels them back up until Jack and Rayna grab the wings of the small pterosaurs to fly down to the rushing river. Emotionally hurt and enraged, Kong lets out a loud roar unlike to other that echoes throughout the island, abruptly awakening the slumbering dinosaurs, along with Rodney, Dunbar, Zephyr and Dharak. The roar was reached to the village for the crew to hear, Niles commenting that the plan is in motion.

Kong immediately leaves the lair and pursuits Jack, Ann and Rayna all the way back to the wall. Dharak, who was rudely awakened by Kong's echoed roar then sees Kong rushing at great haste then decides to pursue his hated enemy. The trio continue running when they came across the trees Rayna had marked when they first got there as they know they're closer to the wall. Somewhere, Rodney & Dunbar were wandering and puzzled of what they just heard when they see Kong coming straight at them but jumps over them then runs off. Curious to know what its going on, the two then decide to follow him to see what was wrong. Ann, Jack and Rayna reach the with the bridge still down and cross it back and through the gates.

Niles stands in their way welcoming Ann back and ask if she had a good time out there. Jack confronts him of how he knew Ann was kidnapped and wanted this to happen when he and Rayna are suddenly confused as they noticed the sailors are carrying ropes and grappling hooks and more are keeping the natives away with their rifles at them in hand. Rayna demanded to know what is going on and asked of where Englehorn is. Niles tells her that he and the others are detained at the moment for she horribly learned that the others have mutinied Englehorn all expect for Lumpy, Theo, Choy, Kafi, Briggs, Frank, LaRoche, Shepard and Duke who remained loyal to him, including Prof. Hamilton and Christopher. Snyder comes by to tell Niles that the gas bomb is finished and Burke is on his back back from the ship in which Ann asks of what for but Niles tells her its a surprise. They all see Carl Denham stares aimlessly at the gate and when Jack walks over to have an explanation, he doesn't respond. One of the sailors above the wall reports of Kong approaching the gate then Niles tells everyone to get in position then grabs Ann by the arm and holds her next to him. Rodney and Dunbar are following Kong but Dunbar is exhausted from the running when Dharak rushes past them. Kong finally reaches the wall but is unaware that he heading into a trap. He makes a great leap across the chasm, clings to the wall and smashes through the gate.

Seeing Ann but in the clutches of Niles whom he recognizes, Kong takes one step only for Niles to cue the trap. To Ann's horror, the sailors lasso and hooks around Kong and protest them to stop along with Jack and Rayna who orders the men to stop but they they don't listen while most of them do their best to keep the Natives back. Carl finally answers to Jack, Rayna and Ann that they cam here to get picture but it's scrapped and they found something worth more than all the movies in the world, much to their dismay. The men pull Kong down with all their might but refuses to stay down. Niles impressed that there's still a lot fight in the massive ape then orders the sailors from top of the wall drop a large net on top of him tied to boulders as counterweights for it brings Kong down to the ground hard. Ann try to stop this put was hold against her will by two sailors. Nile was just about to use the gas bomb when Dharak arrives after jumps through the wall and onto Kong's back then letting out a roar before lunging in to bite Kong while tearing the ropes and net. Niles never accounted on the T-rex which was never apart of the plan but can uses to his advantage as a means to weaken Kong. Dharak furiously tears the net and killed any nearby sailor close to Kong. Some were about to use the rifles but Niles tells them no, he then grabs Ann again and tells Kong to come get he if he can as he, Jack, Rayna, Carl and other remaining sailors retreat to the beach. Still fighting to get Ann, Kong breaks free from the ropes and tossing both the Sailors and Dharak off him but was still entangle in the ropes. Dharak gets back up and continues to fight Kong through the village destroy each hut on the way. Rodney and Dunbar use a flat for their early method to catch up but as they slide in great speed, Razer and his pack appear straight ahead but get snagged by the rock and as the hit the entrance, both parties were sent flying and landed into separate large crates unconscious. The crew make their way to the beach and the lifeboats when Kong is right behind them but Dharak pins him against several palm trees and prepares goes to go in for kill by biting straight at his throat. Kong grabs his head to void the jaws but grows weaker as Dharak gets close inch by inch. The Chief catches up to the beach and sees Nile ready to throw the gas bomb. Seeing Kong in danger, the tribe's Chief attempt to stop him to protect his god with a spear in hand but gets shot by the hunter, fatally wounding him as Faraji and Amaya witnessed in horror and rushed to tend to their dying father. Nile resumes his ploy but Ann tackles him and the bomb lands in Carl's hands who Niles shouts at him to throw it while he grabs Ann, holding her. Carl throws the bomb then detonates between Kong and Dharak, engulfing both of them in the gas cloud.

Kong emerges from the gas rubbing his eyes, coughing and struggles to stay up but the effects start to take its toll. Kong collapses on the sand and reaches his hand out to Ann before closing losing consciousness. Ann in tears rushes over to Kong who is still breathing with Nile comes over that he'll be out for hours. Carl walk over in disbelief that they actually did it when Dharak to emerges as well from the cloud also but collapse from its effects. Nile taunt him that he just lost his chance. Angry, Dharak responds with a growl before losing consciousness. Niles tells the crew to get tools from the Wanderer for anchor chains and tools with Hamilton demand their intentions with Kong. Niles answers back that they're going to build a raft to get Kong to the ship. Englehorn and Rayna doubt that chains will ever hold Kong. Niles promises them that they'll give him more than chains for he says that Kong has always been king of his world but now they'll teach him what fear is. He then turns to Carl who has been quite at the moment and asks of what's on his mind. Carl proudly respond that he knows exactly what on his mind then stood on Kong's left arm resting on a rock as he makes a bold proclamation: "The whole world's gonna pay to see this. We're millionaires, boys. I'll share with all of you! Why, in a few months... his name will be up in lights on Broadway: Kong - The Eight Wonder of The World!" Niles applause and the sailors cheering in the glory except for Ann, Jack, Englehorn, Rayna, and Theo. Niles looks on at the downed T-rex with a malicious look on his face.

As the ship leaves with Kong now chained in the cargo hold after carrying him on a raft made from the wall's gates, the crew see the natives on the beach mourning for their Chieftain and bowing for Kong's departure, heartbroken with no god to worship as it starts to rain. Ann sees the same expressions on the dinosaurs look on from the jungle through the wall arch in tears for Kong as well. Nestor looks around for Rodney and Dunbar but no sign of them. Ann begins to cry with comforts her by rest his hand on her shoulder and Theo starts shedding tears too with Rayna comforting him with a hug. They are unaware that Rodney and Dunbar have stowed away on board hidden in the food storage below deck, eating the fruits and vegetables to last through the trip along with the Raptors eating the meat storage in a different area.

Few months later back in New York City, Kong is about to be on display inside a sold out crowded Broadway Theatre in Times Square, shown in marquee lights: "KING KONG EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD, Carl Denham's Giant Monster." Inside, the theatre is packed and a top-hatted, tuxedoed Carl welcomed by the mayor, guests and the Studio producers Weaving, Maggio, Marston and Bailey who come to congratulate him with great enthusiasm on his success before taking a group photo by press agents. Carl sees no sign of Preston before making his way backstage. The curious crowd push into the auditorium, mentioning they had paid a fortune for affording tickets to see what's on display tonight. Some have speculate that it was new motion picture but says is some sort of ape. But the show is theatrical adaption of the island adventure at first.

Backstage, Ann, wearing a white dress looks sadly at a chained Kong with a tuxedoed Jack Driscoll right beside her. Ann sadness fade when she's surprised to see Englehorn, Theo and Rayna attending, who almost recognized her in a green strapless tube gown dress with her hair tied in a ponytail and comments how beautiful she is but tells Ann that she's not really used to these sort of events for why she never leaves the port but she is also concerned on how Kong is feeling. Carl comes in, welcomes Englehorn, Theo and Rayna then comes over to asks if Ann is ready but she tells him that she's uncomfortable seeing Kong in chains and is worried that this going to lead to disaster with Jack in agreement. But Carl scoff that nothing will go wrong as long as she stays in sight of Kong to keep him calm and tells that she has achieve her goal from being an out-of-work performer to becoming a star that she always dreamed in which she seemingly regrets now. Carl asks Jack if he's seen Preston who replies that he'll be here tonight with friends. They are then joined by Mr. Weaving and the other producers who came by backstage to not only get another look at Kong but to wish him luck and that every critic from around the country is here tonight lineup in the front row. Maggio states the box office reached its estimate of $54,000, much to his, Marston and Bailey's joy. 2 minutes before the show starts, Weaving the others takes the moment to meet Ann Darrow who are impressed that a beautiful young lady had been through quite a tremendous experience. Marston attempts to flirt with Rayna but no avail as Bailey hold him back and Maggio informs Jack that he's endorsing the public newspaper. Press reporters come by to play up "Beauty and the Beast" angle for their story and wanted to get pictures but Mr. Weaving and studio execs stop them to be patient that Carl is preparing for his grand speech in mere moment but reassures them that they'll have the opportunity of getting photos of Kong for tomorrow's front page headline after Denham calls for them. Carl then quietly announces its showtime.

The orchestra plays a classic fanfare as Carl walks on stage in front of the curtain to the applauding audience in spotlight. The music stops and Carl address the audience by thanking them for attending this tremendous evening for he is about to tell a strange story that no one will believe. However, seeing is believing after all. For it was the story of their adventure in which 24 of their party have met horrible deaths, including his close colleagues and Brad Maxwell, much to their surprise and sadness. But their sacrifices were not in vain for He and his partners have returned with the living proof of their adventure. Denham is about to shown the greatest thing their eyes have ever beheld. Carl explains that "he" was a king and a god in the world knew knew but comes to civilization before them now a captive; "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... Kong! The Eighth Wonder of The World!" The curtains raise to reveal the gasping and amazed audience Kong shackled in chains sits in depression. Carl also tells them to not be alarmed and remain in their seats for it's perfectly safe; Kong's chains are made form chrome steel. Carl then introduced them Ann Darrow for she is the bravest young woman he's ever known. He points out that Kong's the beast and Ann's the beauty for she is responsible for making all of this possible then he calls Jack to stage for he was the man who rescued her from the beast while his his boss applause him from the upper balcony with great enthusiasm before Denham invites Englehorn followed by Rayna and Theo to the stage for their experiences on the adventure. Ann walks over Kong and gently strokes his hand to quietly tell him that's she's so sorry, lamenting this her fault and what's the point of achieving a dream you wanted so badly, others have to suffer for their endeavors then sheds a tear and knows she's made a terrible mistake.

Carl then addressed the audience that he can't take all credit for the capture of Kong was not him alone then introduced them to Niles Serrone as he walks out onto the stage while the audience applauds but Ann, Jack, Englehorn, Rayna, and Theo give him disapproving looks but shrugs it and Kong's sadness quickly turns anger on his face. Niles thanks Carl and the crowd for having him here tonight and while Kong is the star of this premiere, but he's not 'only' one here tonight. Carl, Ann, Jack, Rayna, Englehorn and Theo looked confused as Niles explains to the audience of the thought-to-be extinct wildlife they've encounter on their adventure then quietly calls Burke and Snyder as they bring a squared structure on stage next to Kong underneath a red tarp. When Niles unveils it, To everyone's shock, It was Dharak inside the cage chained and muzzled and blindfolded and Niles announced to them that Dinosaurs still roam the Earth. Carl insisted to him that this wasn't part of the show but Niles chimes in that it is now and look how amazed the crowd is. Unblinded, Dharak is shocked to many humans in one place but turned his sights on Kong and Ann but his attention was drawn to Niles in furious anger but the restraints prevent him but Niles did remove the muzzle causing Dharak to roar. The press reporters come out to get their photos of Ann and Kong and a few of Dharak. In regards to Brad's death, Niles proclaimed that he tried to rescue him but was too late until Christopher comes up and says he has something to say in the remark. A voice is heard declaring that he begs to differ.

In a surprising turn of events Preston enters the auditorium and walks down the aisle and up on stage followed by a flock of policemen who equally stunned and shocked as the audience. They inform Niles that there's been an international warrant for his arrest for illegal poaching, animal extortion and murder, thanks to information that Jack had provided. To prove that claim, Christopher showed them a short film footage from his mini camera of Niles shoot Brad's leg and pushed him into a Raptor den, leaving him to die for he had called him "dead weight." Everyone is both shock and horror as Carl confronts Niles for lying to him.

As three cops move in, Niles then grabs Ann and hold his knife to her throat then revealed to Denham that he ha played him from the start for this was never going to be his glory and reveals his goal was to kill Kong as he promised to his grandfather on his deathbed. Seeing Ann in danger, Kong gets into a rage, breaking free from his chained shackles and grabbing Niles in his hand. Ann shouts for Kong to put him down to show everyone he's not the monster that Niles trying to make him out to be. He puts him down but Dharak manages to free himself from his restraints also and whacks Kong with his tail. The audience runs and panics as Kong fends off Dharak before taking the fight outside the streets of New York. Niles then flees the scene with Burke and Snyder that the hunt begins. Kong is spooked and confused by the cute lights and people for the city is a jungle he's unfamiliar with. Kong fights off Dharak then flees by climbing over a building out of sight, despite Ann's pleas to have him come back. The T-rex goes out of sight too.

Preston sees Carl distraught with guilt on his face after learning that Nile was using him from the start and doesn't know what to do anymore. Preston walks over to console encourages him to not beat himself up. He may have made a mistake, but it's not too late to make it right for he always had faith in his boss and Jack comes by to ask if Carl has a plan. Having an epiphany, Carl does have one: it's to bring Kong back home. Carl reconciles with Englehorn, Theo and Rayna then lets them in plan at redemption. Ann overhears and leaves in search for Kong with Rayna and Theo going after her.

At the Wanderer, Lumpy, Choy, Frank, Shepard and LaRoche are at the docks hearing sirens hint that Carl's opening night has backfired. Just as Lumpy was about to check in on the storage and upon opening the haul doors, he was surprised that most of it was half-eaten then spots Rodney and Dunbar who asked him is they've seen Ann and Kong. As they go out side the Wanderer, the duo are shocked to learn that they are no longer on the island anymore as see the city of New York right before their eyes and that there are humans everywhere. As they leave, they hear a familiar screech behind then and turned around with terror in their eyes, Razer, Velvet, Splitter, Sickle and Thudd leap out of the darkness and fixated their sights on the two. Rodney rides on on Dunbar and flee to find their friends with the raptors give them chase.

Out of sight, Kong flees outside the streets and into the Central Park Zoo. In a quiet moment, Kong walks through seeing all the many animals and the different primates on display including a lone gorilla. Kong then frees them from their cages and they all retreat to the nightly parked trees. As Kong finds solitude within Central Park comfortable with all the trees around him in relief when he suddenly hears Ann's faint voice nearby. Ann walks through the park while calling out to Kong who then hears her voice emerges from the bushes and trees and sees her walk down the walkway towards him. Kong approaches slowly but Ann runs without haste then hugs his right arm in embraced. Rayna and Theo catch up to the park only to to Ann has found Kong and Theo runs over to them but Rayna felt anxious that if Kong is mad at her for taking Ann from the lair. Ann also helps her to make peace with Kong. They heard a car coming at a stop outside the park it was Jack, Carl, Preston and Englehorn exiting out to join them. Ann even helps Kong make pace with the four with Carl apologizing him for everything - letting Niles manipulate him in capturing him but promises Kong that he'll help get him back home to Skull island.

They then heard something coming from the park. as Rodney and Dunbar run through the bushes exhausted but their anxiety turned to joy at the sight Ann and Kong. Ann, shocked in delight, asked her friends of what and how'd they get here. Rodney explained that they stowed away on the ship, Dunbar pointed out was a lot of food for them the whole trip but Rodney dramatically calls New York a nightmare for that there are humans everywhere Ann was right; there's no more dinosaurs left. Though they are glad to see Kong is alright too then also regretfully apologizing her about not telling the fact that Kong being the last of his kind -- no offence -- but never intended of keep it a secret just withheld the truth. Ann hugs Rodney and tell him and Dunbar that its okay for she does understands before they both ask about why Ann looks like a diamond because of her white dress.

Jack asked of how'd they get to Central park when just they were about to explain that when out of the bush Razor appears followed by his fellow raptors Velvet, Splitter, and Sickle but Thudd later joins in while stupidly feasting on a squirrel. Razor moves in on when he stops and recognizes Ann from their previous encounter then Velvet threatens Reyna for the scar she gave her from the stampede. The regretfully forget that Kong is with them too and a disadvantage but Dharak rose from the tree with an escaped zebra in his jaws

Their big reunion ends when the army comes after Kong firing at him with artillery. Jack, Ann, Carl, Rayna, Theo, Englehorn and Preston protest them to stop when Kong takes Ann and flees to the streets while crushing Carl's car. While Jack and Englehorn take a taxi to the Wanderer, Rodney and Dunbar flee with Rayna, Theo, Carl and Preston riding on his back but the Raptor resume their chase while Dharak escapes the scene. Kong jumps through the rooftops with Ann in a frenzy then sets his sights on finding high ground. Rayna, Theo, Carl, Preston, Rodney and Dunbar defeat the Raptor pack as a construction site by flinging them through the air and back to Wanderer's cargo area straight through the opening cargo hatch trapped.

They all see Kong climbing up to the top of the Empire State Building then shares a quiet moment with Ann. A squadron of airplane are dispatch after Kong, circling the building. Kong gets agitated then puts Ann down then nudges her aside to safety before climbing up to the antenna for he prepared to fight for his life. The planes then dive in to make their first strike as Ann climbs up a ladder, hoping they won't shoot with her in the way. The first plane zeroes in and blasts away followed by the other planes pelting him with bullets but they are all shot down one by one by strange looking aircraft piloted by Niles. Niles warns the Colonel through his radio to tell his forces to back off that this his quarry and threatens to shoot a down any plane or kill any pilot that gets in his way. Kong is exhausted from all the dodging as just when Niles was about to go in for the kill, out of the blue is Jack and Englehorn come to Kong's aid with the Wanderer Seaplane now mounted with weapons with Ann's amazemeny then start a dogfight. Jack calls out to Ann that she and Kong have got to climb down but are shot by Niles then go down safely in the river. Niles, gloating at his victory but Kong swipes at his plane's wing that causes him to crashing into the Hudson river. Ann sees another wave a of airplanes until suddenly they are surprised by a huge flock of Pteranodons out of the clouds, led by Zephyr, which migrated from Skull Island to find Kong. He swoops for he is pleased to see Kong and Ann alright but tells him to climb back down that's he vulnerable up here. Ann also tells him and other to not try to kill the pilots then takes her word as the flock dismantles the planes and land the pilots to safety on the rooftops. Kong gets back down with Ann and down to the streets as they make their way to the Wanderer they are stopped by the military in their way... A familiar voice comes from the crowd to advise to listen to Ann who was revealed to by Manny, followed by Rosie who thought to have left NY but stayed to find Ann but she had already left. Ann then makes a heartfelt speech to the Colonel, soldiers and the entire crowd of how misunderstood Kong is for he is the last of his own kind after losing his family many years ago and has live such a very solitary yet lonely life. Ann also states when she came along, Kong had found the warmth and happiness for the first time of his life. Rodney and Dunbar vouch in as well to stand by Kong. One soldier sheds a tear and pleads the Colonel to reconsider that despite the property damage, Kong hasn't harmed anyone with citizens are also moved from that speech who also plead the military to listen to Ann of letting Kong go.

The joy was ruined as Ann was swept up by Niles who had survived the crash and was taken up to the Brooklyn bridge. Niles, now furious at Ann that she has ruined everything for getting in his way of making grandfather proud by killing Kong. He threatens to kill her with his machete but Jack internes to protect her by tackling Niles and getting into a fist fight but he injures Driscoll's left arm with his knife but Rayna, Theo, Carl, Preston and Kong race up to the bridge. Snyder and Burke manage to hijack a military truck with a mounted turret the fired at Kong who then takes cover to avoid being shot. Seeing his friend in danger, Dunbar then gets mad that he's had enough of running that Kong needs him for he then charges righteously with Rodney riding him at the truck while Burke tries to reload but was too late then they are both get attacked by him and Rodney but they attempt to shoot them but are lifted by Zephyr and Floyd then drop them below to the Wanderer where they are cornered by Razor, Velvet, Sickle, Splitter and Thudd who then lung at then as Burke and Snyder scream in horror as they are being mauled. Back on the bridge, Rayna and Theo fight Niles followed by a nasty sucker punch by Carl for using him. Nile reaches his rifle but Kong picks him but then stabs his hand. Kong flings him against the steel beam that injured his right knee.

Struggling to stand Niles then begs Kong to crush him now right in front of everyone but Kong shakes his head and refuses to be a monster like Niles. Niles boasts but is unaware that Dharak appears from behind him just when he about to shoot him only to found out that he's out of ammo that Ann snagged to two bullets from Nile's pocket and throws them over the bridge. Panicked, Niles tries to reach for his machete but Dharak stomps on his injure leg the leans in toward his face to remind that no one kills Kong but him then lets our a furious roar as Nile's face turn from confidence to fear w/h a shed of tear from his eye. Nile tires to get away but Dharak clamps down on his already injured leg causes him scream in agony then violently shakes him around before throws him up in the air then allows him to fall screaming into his jaws to be devoured, while Ann, Jack, Carl, Rayna, Theo, Rodney and Dunbar watch in horror. Dharak spits out Niles hat then roars in triumphant. He walks over to Kong to tell him that none of this changes nothing between them for he still has sights on killing him but right now he just wants to go home. Ann hug Kong who tells him its time to go home.

Several weeks later, the Wanderer sails through the ocean with Zephyr, Floyd, Pilipe and Sierra guiding them back to the Skull Island after Carl had lost the map during the adventure. Kong sits peacefully on deck enjoying Lumpy's cooking with Dunbar except for Rodney is having sea sickness during the voyage. Loretta joins in to get to know everyone. Dharak and the Raptors are below the cargo hold. Ann sees Carl on the side and asked if he was okay. To her, Preston and Jack's surprise, Carl announces he's retiring from filmmaking motion pictures that he states that after the whole experience, his heart is no longer in it anymore. Yet, he has no idea what to do next. Theo yells land how as they reach Skull Island.

The ship stops at the shallowed shoreline and made their way to the village only to be stopped by the islanders with spears but their displeasure turned to joy for they see that Kong has returned. The group is then greeted by Faraji, who is now the new chief of the tribe and is humbly grateful to see their god has return home. The Shaman joins to see Kong again for he sense much warmth and joy in his heart. He thanks Ann in english For he recalls from the sacrifice that she has brought peace to his heart which is why he chose her. Faraji makes momentous proclamation to his people that with Kong returned, he announces that from this day forth there will be no more human sacrifices for it is the beginning of a new era. They all see Dharak walking through the village when Kong wants everyone to let him go first and they make way for the T-rex. He stops at the base of the gate turns his head around at Kong then roars before going into the jungle. Razor and the raptors follow suit while glaring at Ann, Rayna, Jack and the others.

Jack, Rayna, Carl, Theo, Englehorn, Preston and Lumpy were about to return for the ship but they see Ann still with Kong and Jack asked what was wrong and to their surprise, Ann decides that she is staying on the island and she's willing to gives up her dream to be with Kong. Jack walks over to give her and embraced eachother heartwarming kiss then decides to stay with her. Theo decides to stay as well, followed by Rayna who then give her "first mate" position to Briggs, much to Dunbar's happiness that they are all gonna be friends forever. Carl and Preston decide to stay too along with Professor Hamilton for that there still has so much for him and Christopher to learn on the island, not just the dinosaurs but hieroglyphics from the ruins all over which gives Carl an idea to film a documentary. Lumpy has thoughts of building a peer on the beach. The group go into the jungle with the Shaman accompanying them while Englehorn, Lumpy, the crew, and the natives having them goodbye.

Bulldust comes along who is reconciled by Bulldust then offered to return to the herd but. The council arrives and approves of Ann, Jack, Rayna, Theo, Carl, Preston and the Professor's stay.

Carl Denham turns to the audience that they may believe that it was the seaplane that protected Kong but they're wrong. He simply states: It was Beauty that saved the Beast. Kong swung from vines and on to a cliff promontory, then pound his chest and roars triumphantly.

During the credits; Kong, Ann, Jack, Carl, Rayna, Theo, Rodney, Dunbar, Preston, Hamilton and Chris made their way up to Kong's lair where they greeted by D'Mira and Samto, who are happy to seeing Kong back. Inside they all clean up the inner sanctum by moving the skeleton remains of Kong's kind to the lower sections of the temple as a tomb, expect for his parents remains that are moved to a preserved chamber as a shrine. Ann and the other find smaller rooms for their own as they all move in to Kong's home. They all reside in the jungles of Skull Island happily among the dinosaurs.

A vastly large uncharted yet long-forgotten island (642km) which is isolated somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean blanketed in a thick veil of fog that conceals itself from the rest of the world and affected with magnetite rocks on the coast that causes electromagnetic interference with radio and navigation. The island's coastal shores are covered with jagged rocks and ruins alike and a sandy beach at the shoreline.

The first sight of Skull Island was a rocky/sandy peninsula. which had the native village and behind it was a massive 100-foot stone wall that cuts it off on the lower south-east from the rest of the island. The wall was built by a long-forgotten civilization over thousands of years ago and behind is a broken end of a stone bridge and across the chasm is an alter with two wooded columns on the other side. The Wall is only the threshold of Skull Island cause beyond it lies thick jungles, barren plains, grasslands, waterfalls and mountainous areas.

It has distinctive a gigantic skull-shaped rock formation on one of the mountains. The northern side of the island is where Kong's lair resides on the tallest mountain that is the ruins of a mountain temple.

This version of Skull Island has the elements off the 2005 and 1933 incarnations.
