Plot

After the death of her uncle Milton, Mandy is to inherit his property and money. She and Jed Slater, an attorney, travel to Kong Island to locate the whereabouts of Bradley, Milton's son, and Bradley's infant daughter who crashed on the island two decades earlier. After arriving on the island, Mandy and Jed Slater meet up with Ted, Mandy's boyfriend, Jack Carver, a jungle guide, and Shana, Jack's girlfriend. Later the group comes face to face with Tarzeena, the jungle queen, and Tabonga, a gorilla. Tarzeena turns out to be Bradley's missing grown-up daughter. Dr. Mortimer, a mad scientist, kidnaps both Tabonga and Tarzeena so he can use them as guinea pigs for his evil experiments. Mandy, Jed, Jack, Ted and Shana all come to Tarzeena's rescue and destroy Dr. Mortimer. In the end, Mandy, Ted and Tarzeena return home to America.
