Production notes

Dr. Lorna Jenkins has worked her entire life on evolution and DNA. She has even recreated the mythical King Kong by using samples of DNA from the giant ape mixed with those from her grandson, Jason Jenkins.

She's recently developed an organic computer- Cybercom- which enables her to study from up close the lives of the prehistoric creatures that she discovered on Kong Island by mixing the DNA of the user with DNA from an animal. Jason has to try the first experiment with his "blood brother," Kong.

But at this point, a power-hungry scientist, Ramone de la Porta, sneaks onto the island and steals the sacred stones that have imprisoned the demon Chiros and his acolytes since time immemorial. As he flees, he also lays his hands on the results of Dr. Jenkins' research.

By fighting Chiros' henchmen and the monsters created by Ramone thanks to Cybercom, Kong and Jason must try to return the sacred stones to their rightful place before Chiros can escape forever, and before Ramone can solve the secret of their powers.
