Carl Denham è un avventuroso produttore di documentari. Insieme a una giovane disoccupata di New York, Ann, parte alla volta di un'isola tropicale, Skull Island, abitata da un gigantesco e leggendario gorilla, King Kong. Il gorilla s'innamora della bella Ann e, preso in trappola, viene catturato da Denham. Portato a New York in catene, viene esibito. Ma King Kong riesce a liberarsi e a fuggire in cerca della sua amata Ann. Lo uccideranno sulla vetta dell'Empire State Building, dove si è rifugiato con la giovane donna, mitragliato da aerei da guerra.
