Ann is greeted by the ship's skipper Captain Englehorn, who is nearly finished loading the last of Carl's production equipment. After stepping aboard and while being escorted to her cabin by Preston, Ann encounters the young cabin boy named Theo who offered to help carry her luggage. Professor J.B. Hamilton and his college students Rachel and Christopher arrive with their scientific equipment, followed by Jack Driscoll who persuaded Englehorn to aboard the ship to get an interview with Carl Denham. As Ann makes it to her cabin, she meets a feisty Latina second mate, Rayna Caruso who has taken a liking to Ann, knowing it's nice to have another woman on board. To Ann's shocking surprise, famous actor Brad Maxwell was onboard, whom she has a crush on. As Jack finishes his interview with Carl but the ship has already departed. Carl chimes in on him that having a journalist around would be beneficial for his picture and be a big story for the papers when they return.

On the next couple of days, Ann settles in while meeting the rest of the ships crew that includes Wayland Hayes; Englehorn's first mate, Lumpy; the ship's lovable cook Lumpy, his good friends Kafi; the sous-chef and Choy the item storer, Flynt; the lookout, and Carl's film crew that includes Gordan; the cameraman, Chester; the screenwriter and Nigel; the sound recordist Nigel.

Later, Carl then commencing his filming a scene with Ann and Brad. Upon finishing the scene Ann unfortunately soon discovers that Brad cares for his self interests. However he did had praise from Jack and Rayna.

Trading the voyage Jack interviews with Carl Denham along with Preston in the mess deck about the truth about where they're heading. In which Hayes, Rayna, O'Neil, and Lumpy join in to confront Denham of their destination. Carl then comes clean and shows them along with Englehorn the map he acquired from Norwegian skipper in Singapore three year ago. That map depicts the location of the mythical Skull Island, said to be the last undiscovered land in the world. However, Hayes, Lumpy and O'Neil say otherwise; several years prior they came across a drifting castaway who had been at sea for weeks. The castaway had told them that his crew was sailing in the Indian Ocean until they were shipwrecked on an island hidden in fog and spoke of a huge 100ft stone wall that build so long ago, know knew who built it but it was still strong today as it was centuries ago. When Jack asks why the wall was built, Lumpy further said that before the castaway raved about a mythical giant creature feared by the locals “said to be neither beast nor man, but monstrous in nature.” Before there was more to be said, the castaway dies from a heart attack. Carl counters their claim that the creature has name; "Kong." Unbeknownst to them, Niles was out in the hallway listened in on the whole thing.

After six weeks at sea pass by, Jack and Ann become more closer with each other. As tensions were rising amongst the crew members, Englehorn was considering of changing course when his compass and their navigational equipment malfunctions and the ship enters thick wall of fog. Everyone comes out see themselves unnerved and unsettled. and barely crash into jagged rocks. Ashe fog begins to clear at daybreak, to Carl's amazement and to Ann's, Jacks and the crew's disbelief, they see Skull Island in sight with a stone wall and a giant mountain with a rock formation shaped like a skull.

After dropping anchor at the island shoreline, Denham arranges a scouting party along Englehorn, Ann, his film crew along with Jack, Rayna, Preston, Hamilton, Christopher, Niles, and 8 other sailors. Jack inquired that it may not be a good idea to bring Ann to the island, but Carl dismisses him. They all rowed ashore while Briggs takes charge of the ship.

On the beach as they begin shooting for Ann's screaming scene, they all hear faint drumming and venture forth through the rocky cavern to a forest coast to investigate the sound while two sailors stay behind to guard the boats. They soon discover a large native village in front of a huge stone wall and wooden gate that cuts off from the rest of the island. They witnessed the natives performing a tribal ceremony and they see a young black woman distressed in garments. Englehorn states that woman is to be a human sacrifice. When Carl attempts to film the village Shaman was about to make his decision, the chieftain suddenly spots the crew and halts the ceremony. The chieftain and his warriors approaches the intruders. Though Englehorn's native tongue was rusty, but Hamilton is able to understand native speech but the Chief motions then to leave at once. The Chieftain's son and daughter, Amara and Faraji come from the crowd to act as mediators between both sides. To the crew's surprise, the siblings speak English and they explained to them that they all have interrupted their sacred ceremony. Carl tells Hamilton to ask the chieftain of what the ritual is about. Faraji translates his fathers words that the young woman is a gift for their island god, Kong. Amara corrects him for it is their way of life for centuries. The blind Shaman walks slowly joins the chieftain at his right side and disturbingly points out at Ann Darrow, the "golden haired one." Captivated by her beauty, the blind shaman choses her to be a gift for their deity. Agree with his decision, The chief then demands the crew to give them Ann in exchange for six of their women. Denham declines, thus angering the chief, Faraji tried to reason with him that Ann is an outsider and has nothing to do with the ceremony, but he casts his son aside in a fit of rage and rallies the tribe to try and take Ann by force until the Shaman halts him and whispers in his ear. The crew then make their way back to the beach, with J.B. assuring that they'll return tomorrow to be better acquainted.

Back on the ship, Jack confesses his feelings for Ann on deck and the two almost shared a kiss when Lumpy interrupts telling Jack that Englehorn and Denham wanted a word with him. Ann interjects telling him it's alright that she'll be in her cabin in a short while. Shortly after, Ann was by herself humming her feelings for Jack when a stealth group of natives, who pulled Ann over the side and drugged her unconscious then takes her back to the village for the ceremony. 2 hours later before midnight, Englehorn talks with Carl and Jack about reasoning the natives when they notice torches on shore and the upbeat of the drums from the village. At the same time, Theo was wandering on deck, watching the village at shore when he comes across a boney necklace then runs off then shows it to the others.

In the village, Ann, still drugged, now wearing sacrificial garments and barefooted is being prepared for the sacrifice by the Shaman before being dragged all the way to the top of the wall while the natives chant "Kong! Kong! Kong!". Theos then shows the necklace to Englehorn, Jack, Rayna, Hayes, and Denham, who all recognized it belonged to the natives, only to realize that Ann has been taken. Englehorn mounts a rescue party and the crew is being mounted, stocking up with weapons - rifles and machine guns. Carl and his film crew also discreetly load their film gear into another boat. The five lifeboats row towards the sandy beach.

On top of the wall, the natives' tie Ann's arms to a wooden framework and the Shaman blesses her then the framework tilts carries her across the chasm and lowered to a rock promontory on the other side which is the sacrificial alter with two great pillars. The drums stop and the natives lineup at the top of the wall. Ann struggles at her bonds - to no avail when the drums immediately stop beating then she hears noises coming from the jungle, branches snapping, leaves rustling and sees something massive through the trees coming closer. Out of the jungle comes the island god Kong, revealed to be a giant prehistoric gorilla. Ann trembles with terror. Kong then examines Ann's blonde hair and gently prods her face with his finger before he unties her. The crew made their way to the village, scaring the natives with shooting flares. Kong hears the gunfire as rose on his hind legs and beats his chest before letting out a loud mighty roar and pulls Ann free. Carl and Niles caught only a glimpse of Kong on the other side through the gates. Ann's fear overcame her and faints in Kong's hand who carries her away but pauses. Kong turns around and glares back at the two men then disappears into the jungle away from the wall. Jack raced to the top of the wall only to see that Ann was already gone.

Later, They organizes a search party to rescue Ann Darrow. Led by Jack, Briggs and Rayna, the party consists of O'Neil, Jean-Pierre, Shepard, Rigby, Niles, Snyder, Richter, James and 35 other sailors while Englehorn, Lumpy, Kafi and the rest of the crew remain at the village. Archimedes decides to volunteer to accompany in the search along with his students while Carl brings his crew and film equipment bring the film stock. Theo insists of join the search but Englehorn objects, telling him it's too dangerous out there then turns to Jack, promising him that they'll put a guard on the gate until he and the others return and then gives the party enough food, ammunition and supplies for the journey and will provide more from his sea plane seaplane. The party then begun their perilous journey into jungles of the island.

As they march their way through the jungle, they hear noises in the brush then were attack two territorial Ceratosaurus then decide to rest for the night. The next morning, the party learns that Theo has sneak into onw of there supply crates and insist of helping to get Ann back
