      Johnnie (Li Hsui-hsien) is one of many voyagers seeking a mysterious monster in the jungles of India. Eventually, he comes across the enormous ape-like creature known as Utam. Shockingly, the beast is gentle and has a human companion, Samantha (Evelyne Kraft), whom he brought up after her parents' death.

        A fitfully amusing, very bad King Kong ripoff from Hong Kong with the purtiest jungle girl ever to don a leather bikini. Sorry Raquel Welch & Jennifer O'Dell, you've both been bumped. Check out the ridiculous original poster, you'd think she was the giant threat running amok in downtown Hong Kong! While carrying a vampire-eyed leopard, no less. Ahh, without shlock cinema how would we determine when something was actually good?
