Circus owner Mark Remington is concerned that his circus is about to go bankrupt. When he hears about a giant gorilla named Gorga living in Africa, he travels there with the goal of capturing it in order for it to be used as an attraction in his circus. Upon Mark's arrival "Tonga" Jack Adams, the hunter who originally reported the gorilla, is nowhere to be found but his daughter, April Adams, says that he has been kidnapped. Together they set off in order to find both Gorga and April's father. Meanwhile Dan Morgan, a rival hunter, is hot on their trail.
