Behind a tree at the bottom of a garden, a smartly-dressed man and woman are trying to have sex. In the distance is the music of a party. But despite her provocative beauty, he can’t get an erection. Irritated, she abruptly disappears into the woods. Listlessly, he follows. The forest is dark and he finds before him not his lover but Queen Kong. He tries to escape, but Queen Kong has no intention of letting the horrified man go until she has had her way with him.
