Synopsis
Howling Jack appears worldwide on Network TV promising to reveal the "truth about Kong". Jason, Tann, Lua and Kong race to LA in an attempt to stop him.
En route they watch the TV in horrified fascination as Jack shows his "proof": badly edited interviews, poor drawings and murky unclear photographs, all taken from Kong's previous around-the-world adventures. The montage ends with Jack promising a special guest who will present uncontestable evidence of Kong's existence. Landing at night in Santa Monica, our heroes race through the streets of LA trying to get to the studio before Jack produces some real evidence. To their horror, a large limo carrying Ramone De La Porta streaks past heading for Howling Jack's studio. Ramone is holding a cassette-the evidence! Jason can no longer contain Kong and the giant ape demerges and charges down the street after De La Porta. Arriving at the studio Ramone merges with a German Shepherd creating a hideous mutant. He attacks Kong attempting to hold him at bay while Howling Jack puts the evidence on the air. Just as Jack airs the cassette, Jason manages to pull the cable plugs taking the show off the air. A second later, Kong and Ramone-Dog mutant crash into Jack's shed/studio crushing it. Ramone and his flunkies retreat. Jack is very depressed, but Jason offers him a compromise...Two weeks later Jack's newest movie is announced, complete with cheesy footage and shots of the real Kong-"The Cyclops From Saturn!"

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.
