However, it's all ruined once a gang of poachers, who were all negatively affected in Kong's battle with Camazotz in New York years ago, show up to trap the ape-like creature and bring him to Africa, where someone has agreed to pay a large amount of money for Kong's capture, arrive. They capture Kong and take him to Africa, where he eventually escapes and meets a primatologist named Dwan Franklin and an young ape-like creature she adopted after saving it from poachers years ago who hunted it because of its albino fur. Now, she must protect the young gorilla as well as Kong from the poachers with help from Jack and Ann, who have since arrived to retrieve Kong, as well Tarzan and his family, and an old rival of Kong's from Skull Island that has mysteriously found his way to Africa
