In the jungles of the Belgian Congo, a group of natives are dancing around a great fire with a human sacrifice named Gunderson, They are attacked by an albino gorilla called the White Pongo.

During the attack an elderly scientist who lives with the tribe frees Gunderson and gives him his deceased colleague's diary that contains his findings on the white gorilla.

The diary has seemed to prove that the white gorilla of myth exists and that local anthropologists believe it is the evolutionary missing link.

In the climax, the White Pongo, who has been stalking the group, kidnaps one of the safari members (the sole female, of course) and duels with a normal-colored gorilla.

The White Pongo costume was years later brought out of storage to be used as the monster suit in Jerry Warren's 1956 Abominable Snowman movie, Man Beast.
