:19:03
Now, you promised some information
when we got here.
:19:05
- Way west of Sumatra.
- And way out of any waters I know.
:19:09
I know the East Indies like
I do my own hand...
:19:11
...but I've never been here.
- Where do we go from here?
:19:14
- Southwest.
- Southwest?
:19:16
Well, there is nothing
for thousands of miles.
:19:18
Keep your shirt on, skipper.
We're not going thousands of miles.
:19:21
Here's the island we're looking for.
:19:25
Well, that position.
Let's have the big chart.
:19:28
You won't find
that island on any chart.
:19:30
That was made by the skipper
of a Norwegian bark.
:19:33
- He must have been kidding.
- No, he wasn't.
:19:35
Listen, a canoe full of natives from
this island was blown to sea.
:19:40
When the bark picked them,
there was one alive.
:19:42
He died before they reached port,
not before the skipper...
:19:45
...had a description of the island
and got an idea of where it lies.
:19:48
- Where did you get it?
- Singapore, two years ago.
:19:51
Skipper knew I'd be interested.
:19:52
- Does he believe it?
- I don't know. But I do.
:19:56
Here. Here's what
the island looks like.
:20:03
There's a long, sandy peninsula.
:20:05
The only possible landing place
is through this reef.
:20:07
Rest of shoreline's sheer precipice,
hundreds of feet high.
:20:10
And across the base
of the peninsula, cutting it off...
:20:13
...from the rest
of the island, is a wall.
:20:16
- A wall?
- Built long ago. People who lived there...
:20:19
...slipped back, forgotten
the high civilization that built it.
:20:22
That wall is as strong today
as it was centuries ago.
:20:25
The natives keep that wall in repair.
:20:27
- They need it.
- Why?
:20:29
There's something on the other side
of it. Something they fear.
:20:33
A hostile tribe.
:20:42
Did you ever hear of Kong?
:20:47
Why, yes.
:20:49
Some native superstition, isn't it?
A god or a spirit or something.
:20:53
Well, anyway,
neither beast nor man...
:20:55
...something monstrous,
all-powerful.
:20:59
Still living...
