At the same time, a team of American pilots have discovered the frozen tomb of the fearsome Godzilla, and when they thaw him out, the stage is set for a titanic battle between the two oversize creatures. In 'King Kong Escapes' (1968), a team of scientists build a mechanical Kong to dig for a radioactive element at the Earth's core.
