Synopsis
A shameless, campy re-make of "King Kong" complete with disco numbers, jungle babes, and cheap cinematic cliches. When the gigantic ape Mighty Peking Man emerges in the Himalayas after an earthquake, a party from Hong Kong go to capture him and bring him to back to Hong Kong as a show. In the jungle, explorer Feng is knocked unconscious by the ape, but saved by Samantha, who dresses in animal skins and can communicate with Peking Man. Soon, Samantha and Feng fall in love - but which of the men in her life is most to be trusted: Feng or Peking Man?
