Plot

After cancelling his stage show Wild Animal Follies to pursue a film project, famous director C.B. Denham takes to the streets to find a lead actress. He discovers Ann Darrow attempting to steal an apple from a merchant. He has his assistant Roscoe buy her out and takes her to dinner where he entices her in song to sign on to his film crew so as to gain fame and fortune and the ability to live in Hollywood. On the ship the Queen, she encounters a cabin boy called Ricky and his monkey Chips, who are ordered off the decks by Jack Driscoll after nearly being crushed by falling cargo. In Ann's cabin, she begins to doubt her desire to become a movie star, but Ricky reminds her that she has nothing to lose by trying.

Trivia

Though largely a remake of the original King Kong, the film also includes a version of the waterfall shower scene from the 1976 remake. In addition, Kong battles a giant snake in one scene and Ann Darrow begins to sympathize with Kong throughout her captivity, both elements featured in the 1976 remake.
The Mighty Kong was Dudley Moore's last film.
This is the first American King Kong film in which the title character survives the end of the movie.
