The Son of Kong is a 1933 American adventure film/monster movie produced by RKO Pictures. Directed by Ernest Schoedsack and featuring special effects by Buzz Gibson and Willis O'Brien, the film starred Robert Armstrong, Helen Mack and Frank Reicher. The film was a sequel to King Kong which was released just 9 months earlier. The story picks up about a month after the dramatic finale of the previous film and follows the further adventures of filmmaker Carl Denham , now implicated in numerous lawsuits following the destruction wrought by Kong. Denham leaves New York with the captain of the... "Venture", Captain Englehorn , who is certain it is just a matter of time before he is similarly served. Their efforts to make money shipping cargo around the Orient are less than successful. In the Dutch port of Dakang, Denham is amused to see there's a "show" being presented, so he and Englehorn attend. It turns out to be a series of performing monkeys, capped by a song sung by a young woman named Hilda .
