A Russian professor named Boris Tchaikon has mastered cell growth. To test his theories he is able to gather some DNA from Konga and creates a female giant ape he names Torga that he introduces to Konga to be his mate. A Russian officer arrives and tells him to bring the apes to San Francisco and set them loose to attack the city allowing the Soviets to steal nuclear secrets. The Kongas are unleashed on the city but an errant missle launched by the Russian sub accidently kills Torga. While Konga leaves in grief, the American military capture the Russian sub.
