Plot
The story picks up about a month after the dramatic finale of the previous film and follows the further adventures of filmmaker Carl Denham (again played by Robert Armstrong), now implicated in numerous lawsuits following the destruction wrought by Kong. Denham leaves New York with the captain of the "Venture", Captain Englehorn. They eventually run into the sailor who sold Denham the map to Skull Island (Nils Helstrom), who cons them into believing there is a treasure on the island. Along with a beautiful stow-away girl (Helen Mack), named Hilda (but only in the film's opening credits), who had been part of a traveling show run by her recently deceased father, they return to Skull Island where they meet, befriend, and are ultimately saved by Kong's easygoing albino son Kiko (a name used in production but never spoken in the film). The son of Kong is portrayed as considerably smaller than his famous father, but is still twice the size of a man. The stop motion animation in the film (done by Willis O'Brien who also did the effects in King Kong) is not as extensive as in the original, but is notable for a sequence where a Ceratopsid dinosaur chases the explorers through the jungle. Ultimately, Kiko dies saving Carl Denham, as does every other creature on Skull Island, when an earthquake strikes the island and it sinks into the ocean. Carl Denham (born 1896 in New York City died in 1957 in California) is a fictional film director in the films King Kong and Son of Kong (both released in 1933), as well as in the 2005 remake of King Kong, and a 2004 illustrated-novel titled Kong: King of...

Production The film was produced and released in 1933, immediately following the success of King Kong, and was a modest success. Script writer Ruth Rose intentionally made no attempt to make a serious film on the logic that it could not surpass the first. She stated "If you can't make it bigger, make it funnier." For his part, Denham's actor, Robert Armstrong, preferred the second film, saying that the sequel offered more character development for Carl Denham.

The script/screenplay featured scenes of tribal warfare and a climatic Dinosaur stampede during the massive Cyclone/Earthquake that sinks Skull Island at the film's end. The stampede was going to utilize the models that had been built for Creation (most being used in the earlier King Kong). However these sequences were never filmed due to the films tight budget and shooting schedule. Creation was an unfinished 1931 feature film, and project of stop motion animator Willis OBrien. ...
