Professor Challenger receives from Paula White, the daughter of the scientist Maple White, a diary written by her father about dinosaurs that can still live in a lost plateau between Brazil, Peru and Colombia. The author of the diary disappeared on the plateau, leaving only this diary. Challenger decides to tell the public and his students about that. However, everyone is skeptical. Meanwhile, a journalist Edward Malone, who wants to impress his bride, hears about that. He asks Challenger to let him participate in the rescue expedition and promises funding by the newspaper company. At first the professor doesn't want even to listen but later he reluctantly agrees. Professor Challenger, Edward Malone, Paula White, the famous athlete John Rockston, as well as professor Summerly, the Challenger's butler Austin and the servant Zambo go on an expedition.
First half to be added.


Near the plateau, which looks exactly like in the diary, the researchers set up a camp. However, [[Apemen]], an ancient half man half monkey who lives on a plateau, throws a huge stone at the camp, but fortunately everyone survives. However, everyone notices ''[[Pteranodon]]'' (called ''Pterodactylus'' in the movie). It becomes obvious that everything written in the diary is true. Soon, professor Challenger, Edward Malone, Paula White, professor Summerly, and John Roxton go to the mountain that is separated from the plateau by the deep precipice. They manage to make a bridge of a tree that grew nearby. However, once they reached the plateau, ''[[Brontosaurus]]'' drops the tree into the precipice.
At their camp on the plateau during the night, the researchers witness an ''[[Allosaurus]]'' attack and kill a ''Trachodon'', the corpse of which falls into a nearby bog. The ''Allosaurus'' feasts on it and then fights a ''[[Triceratops]]'', protecting its young, but retreats after it stabs the ''Allosaurus'' with its horns. The ''Allosaurus'' wanders into the camp where the researchers are, but is repelled by guns and Ed throwing a torch into its mouth. It retreats to fight an ''Agathaumas'', which kills it by goring it with its horns. The ''Agathaumas'' is, however, killed shortly afterward by a ''[[Tyrannosaurus rex]]'', which also kills a ''[[Pteranodon]]'' flying nearby.
