Synopsis: Konga leaves his island after he gets hit by an H-Bomb dropped by Soviet warplanes. He tires of humans and heads south. After brief landfalls in New Guinea and Australia, he eventually reaches Antarctica. He comes ashore but gets frozen by the subzero temperatures. His massive body falls through the ice and enters an underground tropical world where dinosaurs still exist. He thaws out just as he's attacked by 2 Tyrannosaurus, a Triceratops, and a Pteranodon. Defeating all 4 dinosaurs, Konga returns to the surface and leaves the South Pole behind as he heads north to a tropical island.

Notes: The dinosaurs are much bigger than their prehistoric predecessors because they have evolved in that underground lost world. For instance the Pteranodon has a wingspan six times that of a regular Pteranodon.
