Denham acquires a map to an uncharted island where he plans to use a location for his next film, he manages to convince the board to precure funding for his expedition, but they warned that this would be his very last chance. Carl returned to his car where his assistant Preston was at the wheel and drove off. Although Carl has already signed a deal with Brad Ryder to be his lead star, Jasper informs him that they still need a leading lady, which prompts the two to find an actress in the next twenty-four hours before they leave tomorrow night. Unaware to them, they are followed by New York journalist and ace reporter, Jack Driscoll.

Desperate and hungry, Ann steals an apple from the fruit stand only to be spotted by both the shopkeeper and a policeman then chased through the city crowds, stumbling in from of Carl's car. Instantly seeing the Hollywood quality in her eyes, Carl pays for the apple and gives her a ride in his car. Ater buying her a meal in a cafe, Denham hires Ann to star in his film and on the adventure of a lifetime. With Ann convinced, Carl tells her to meet them at their moving picture ship, the S.S. Wanderer tomorrow night around 8pm.

The next night, Ann accompanies Carl and Preston to the docks where the S.S. Wanderer is loading the rest of Denham's cargo. Ann is greeted by the ship's skipper Captain Engelhorn, who is nearly finished on loading the last of Carl's cargo and production equipment. After stepping aboard and while being escorted to her cabin by Preston, Ann encounters a young boy named Theo who is the cabin boy and offered to help carry her luggage. Professor J.B. Hamilton and his college students Rachel and Chrstopher arrive with their scientific equipment, followed by Jack Driscoll who persuaded Engelhorn 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 surprise, famous actor Brad Ryder 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 she meets the rest of the crew; Wayland Hayes, Engelhorn's first mate, the ship's lovable cook Lumpy, his good friends the sous-chef Kafi and Choy the item storer, the lookout Flynt, and Carl's film crew Gordan the cameraman, Chester the screenwriter and their sound recordist Nigel. She soon meets a man emerged from the shadows; a shady-yet infamous hunter Niles Serrone who Carl hired for protection. She then bumps into Jack Driscoll. Carl then commencing his filming scenes on deck

On that night, Jack interviews with Carl Denham along with Preston in the mess deck about the truth about where they're heading. In which Briggs, Rayne, O'Neil, Sheppard and Lumpy join in to confront Denham their true destination. Carl then comes clean and shows them along with Engelhorn the map he acquired from Norwegian skipper in Singapore over year ago. That map depicts the location of the mythical Skull Island, said to be the most undiscovered land in the center of the world. However, Briggs, Lumpy and O'Neil say otherwise they came across a castaway who had been adrift for weeks. The castaway 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 died from heart attack, he raved about a mythical giant creature feared by the natives “said to be neither beast nor man, but monstrous in nature.” and its name was "Kong". Denham was unfazed by the warning for monsters don't exist, only in B-movies. Unbeknownst to them, Niles was out in the hallway listened in on the whole thing.

As six weeks pass by, Jack and Ann are drawing more closer to each other. At one night, tensions were rising amongst the crew members, Englehorn was considering of changing course when his compass and their navigational equipment malfunctions and the entire crew see themselves unnerved as the ship sails into a thick fog bank. and barely crash into jagged rocks. At the stroke of dawn, the fog fades, to Carl's amazement, they have found their destination: Skull Island, much to Anns, Jacks and the crew's disbelief.

After dropping anchor at the island shore, Denham orders his film crew to get the film equipment on a lifeboat and tells and Englehorn and Ann to come along. Jack inquired that it's not a good idea to bring Ann to the island, but Carl dismisses him. Carl, Ann, his film crew along with Jack, Rayna, Preston, J.B., Christopher, Niles, and 8 other sailors in row to shore while Briggs takes charge of the ship.

On shore 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 then stumble upon 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 ritual and they see a young black woman distressed by this. Englehorn tells 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 approaches them. Though Englehorn's native tongue was rusty, but Hamiliton is able to understand native speech. 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 two speak English to leave because they have interrupted their sacred ceremony. Carl tells Hamiliton to ask the chieftain of what the ritual is about. The Chief explains 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 his finger directly at Ann Darrow, as he has chosen her to be a gift for Kong, due to her golden blond hair. 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 the gold haired woman 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 Venture, Jack confesses his feelings toward Ann on deck and the two almost shared a kiss when Lumpy interrupts telling Jack that Englehorn wishes to talk to him. Ann interjects telling him it's alright that she'll be in her cabin in a short while. Under the full moon, Ann was by herself humming her feelings for Jack when a stealth group of natives, who kidnapped Ann and drugged her unconscious, takes her back to the wall for the ceremony. 2 hours later before midnight, Engelhorn talks with Carl and Jack about moving to the other side of the Island in which would be a safer idea away from the natives when they hear the drums from the village, lightened by the torches. In the village, Ann, still drugged, now barefooted and wearing sacrificial garments is being prepared by the Shaman before being dragged all the way to the top of the wall while the natives chant "Kong! Kong! Kong!".

At the same time, Theo was wandering on deck, hearing the drums when he comes across a boney necklace then runs off then shows it to Englehorn, Jack, Rayna, Hayes, and Denham, who all recognized it belonged to the natives. Englehorn alerts the crew that Ann has been taken and the crew to gather the rifles and machine guns then make their way to the lifeboats. On top of the wall, the natives' tie Ann's arms to a stick then sends her over the chasm and lowered to a rock promontory on the other side which is the sacrificial alter. While struggling to break free, the drums and chanting immediately stop as Ann hears noises coming from the jungle as trees creaking, branches cracking, leaves rustling and sees something big through the trees coming closer.

As Driscoll, Denham, Engelhorn, Rayna, Niles and the crew arrive at shore, Ann screams in terror as the native's island god Kong emerges from the jungle, revealing to be a giant prehistoric male gorilla who seemed to be examining Ann by 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 rose on his hind legs and beats his chest before letting out a loud mighty roar. Ann's fear overcame her and faints in Kong's hand while Carl (and Niles) caught only a glimpse of Kong through the gates who glances at him before taking Ann and disappears into the jungle. Jack raced to the top of the wall only to see that Ann was already gone

Later, Engelhorn prepares 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 30 other sailors while Engelhorn, 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 Engelhorn 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 he'll 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 Foetodons then decide to rest for the night.
