 EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               Kong bursts from the jungle. Sees them and beats his breast.



               EXT. ALTAR - GENERAL VIEW - NIGHT

               All run for the gate.



               EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE - GENERAL VIEW - NIGHT

               This SHOT shooting towards village street, as native
               warriors, alarmed at sound of Kong - which can be heard -
               come running towards gate with weapons in hand.



               EXT. WALL - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               The sailors at the gate hear the natives running up behind
               them and snatch up weapons, ready to defend themselves. The
               natives, however, run up, holding their hands, with weapons
               above their heads, to show no harm is meant, shouting "KONG,
               KONG," and indicating with gestures that the gate must be
               closed. Some start to pick up the big pole used to keep the
               gate shut. Before the sailors have time to ask questions,
               another frightful roar and drumming is heard beyond the wall.



               EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               REVERSE ANGLE as Kong, in the foreground, pursues the people
               in the background. (Using Most Dangerous Game jungle glass).



               EXT. WALL - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               The party who went to meet the boy and girl, with boy and
               girl, run through the gate, past natives and sailors.

                                   DENHAM
                             (shouts)
                         Shut the gate - shut the gate.

                                   ENGLEHORN
                         All hands on the gate.

                                   2ND MATE
                             (blows whistle)

               Driscoll runs straight on out of the shot, with Ann, towards
               village square. The sailors drop their weapons to push the
               gate closed. The native warriors, who picked up the big pole,
               now push it against the gate - some sixty of them on it. A
               few others stand by with weapons - leaders, evidently -
               shouting orders and encouragements.



               EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               REVERSE ANGLE - Kong, in the foreground, pursues the people
               in the background. (Using Most Dangerous Game jungle glass).



               EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               Kong reaches the gate and gets his foot jammed in it as it
               closes. (Miniature)



               EXT. WALL - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               The ship's party tries to force the gate shut. Kong gets his
               arm through it.



               EXT. WALL - MED. SHOT - NIGHT

               The arm lifts a sailor and crushes him or beats him against
               the gate.



               EXT. WALL - MED. SHOT - NIGHT

               Sailors at the bottom press against the gate frantically to
               keep Kong out. Kong's foot can be seen blocking the gate.



               EXT. WALL - MED. SHOT - NIGHT

               The great hand drops the sailor, dead.



               EXT. WALL - MED. SHOT - NIGHT

               He falls among the sailors at the bottom of the gate, as they
               strain keep Kong out.  Kong's foot in the shot.



               EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               Kong throws himself repeatedly against the gate. It begins to
               wrench loose.



               EXT. WALL - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               The sailors press against the gate. They look up, horrified
               as they see --



               EXT. WALL - SEMI CLOSE UP OR MED. SHOT - NIGHT

               --the hinges above tearing loose.



               EXT. WALL - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               They redouble their efforts to keep the gate shut.



               EXT. ALTAR - FULL SHOT - NIGHT

               Kong makes one last lunge at the gate. It rips loose from its
               hinges --
