Jack saves Ann from a fate worse than death; when Kong comes to reclaim his girl, Denham and crew knock him out with gas bombs. Denham takes a captive Kong back to civilization where he intends to exhibit the world's eighth wonder and make millions. His capitalist venture is cut short when Kong breaks loose and terrorizes New York in his search for his lost love. The great beast finds Ann and carries her to the top of the Empire State Building, but there is no shelter for Kong. Single-engine bi-planes attack him; riddled with bullets...

Even if nothing happens at their meeting-and no dramatic breakthrough is in sight-the reopening of a U.S.-China dialogue has fundamentally altered the power structure of the globe...
