Synopsis

A struggling movie producer learns that Gorgo and his mother are resting near a south seas island. He decides to go there to film them for a movie. While he and the crew show up on the island, the natives (who are headhunters) attack them, but Gorgo and his mother appear and scare them off. The producer films all this, and after returning to Hollywood, edits the footage into a movie called "Gorgo's Triumph". It's a box office hit!
