While Van Helsing and his team have succeeded in arresting the murderers of Rue Morgue, in France, a new threat is coming and this time mankind is directly responsible for it. A peculiar scientist, well-connected to the British government, Doctor Alexander Zorka, discovered proof of the existence of a Lost World, somewhere in South America, deep in the Amazon rainforest. There lies a new metal in the underground mines, which could help Zorka create weapons like no other, which could change the balance of the world in his favor. Our heroes, as they go on a mission to hunt down monsters in the Congo, will be challenged by Koschei, the famous Russian warrior of several centuries who cannot die, and the one he protect, the young Medusa, daughter of the last Gorgon, to warn them of this threat. Unfortunately, they will not be able to prevent the kidnapping of Professor Challenger, who was studing in the country, by Zorka's men to take them to the mysterious South American plateau, but they will be able to count in particular on the expertise of Gill-Man, who heard of this foreign place. To prevent Zorka from causing a world war, our heroes will have to go and explode a world where creatures from another era still exist and where survival can be complicated, even for beings like them !
