Description
Young and beautiful actress Ann Darrow, from the world of 1930s vaudeville, is down on her luck. She meets Carl Denham, an over-ambitious filmmaker, who brings her on an exploratory expedition to a remote island where she finds compassion and the true meaning of humanity with an ape, Kong. Together, beauty and beast finally meet their fate in New York, where the filmmaker has taken and displayed the ape in the quest of finding his fame by using commercial exploitation. This ultimately leads to catastrophe, including for the man who falls in love with Ann and tries to save her from Kong and her destiny.
