Synopsis:
Kong’s Night Out is the story of what happened in the hotel room next to the hotel room where Ann
(played in the 1933 movie by Fay Wray) was whisked out of bed and into the Manhattan night by King
Kong. As low-end Broadway producer Myron Siegel is getting ready to open his latest production,
Foxy Felicia, Myron finds out that his rival is going to open, directly across the street, a very big show,
with a very big monkey! As the story unfolds, doors fly open and slam shut, as well as mistaken
identities, pies in the face, deceit, underhandedness, and even a couple of romances. It’s a comic
look at a classic story, as depicted in the 1933 movie.

murder attempts, several friends and staff mysteriously die on the family estate. Enter Detective
