Captain Kidd sets out to find a lost explorer, Perez, who went missing on a mission to find the Lost Valley. The Captain gains the help of a native, Wongo, who leads Kidd to the valley, but pays the price, when the cyclopean monsters who inhabit the Valley get their hands on him. Kidd's efforts to save Wongo lead him to a fight with the head cyclops, who turns out to be Perez in disguise. Perez had hoped to scare others away from his find, but had become unhinged, and leaps to his death.
