:20:03
There's a long, sandy peninsula.
:20:05
The only possible landing place
is through this reef.
:20:07
Rest of shoreline's sheer precipice,
hundreds of feet high.
:20:10
And across the base
of the peninsula, cutting it off...
:20:13
...from the rest
of the island, is a wall.
:20:16
- A wall?
- Built long ago. People who lived there...
:20:19
...slipped back, forgotten
the high civilization that built it.
:20:22
That wall is as strong today
as it was centuries ago.
:20:25
The natives keep that wall in repair.
:20:27
- They need it.
- Why?
:20:29
There's something on the other side
of it. Something they fear.
:20:33
A hostile tribe.
:20:42
Did you ever hear of Kong?
:20:47
Why, yes.
:20:49
Some native superstition, isn't it?
A god or a spirit or something.
:20:53
Well, anyway,
neither beast nor man...
:20:55
...something monstrous,
all-powerful.
:20:59
Still living...
:21:00
...still holding that island
in a grip of deadly fear.
:21:07
Well, every legend
has a basis of truth.
:21:09
I tell you, there's something on that
island that no white man has ever seen.
:21:13
- And you expect to photograph it?
- If it's there, you bet I'll photograph it.
:21:18
Suppose it doesn't like
having its picture taken?
:21:22
Well, now you know why I brought
along those cases of gas bombs.
:21:33
Oh, you've put on a beauty-and-beast
costume, eh?
:21:36
It's the prettiest.
:21:38
All right. Just stand right over there.
:21:42
I'm sort of nervous.
Suppose I don't photograph well?
:21:46
You don't have to worry about that.
If I hadn't been sure...
:21:49
...I wouldn't have brought you
around the world.
:21:52
- What will I do?
- Well, we start with the profile.
:21:55
When I start cranking...
:21:57
...why, hold it a minute, and
then turn slowly toward me.
