Dr. Decker (Michael Gough, The Horror of Dracula) returns to England from a year spent lost in Uganda after a plane crash. He brings with him a chimpanzee named Konga, as well as secrets he learned from witchdoctors. It seems that certain insectivorous plants can produce a formula that can embiggen anything, and Decker begins to do just that, first with aforementioned plants and then with Konga himself. Before Decker can really get going and let his megalomania run wild, he's several problems to deal with. His assistant/housekeeper/mistress Margaret (Margo Johns), for example, who he has to string along with promises of marriage; his Dean (Austin Trevor, The Black Museum) who wants to shut him down; a rival professor (George Pastell, The Mummy); the nosey boyfriend (Jess Conrad, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle) of the student (Claire Gordon) he is hoping to turn into his next assistant/housekeeper/mistress. Decker's response to each of these problems: sick Konga, embiggened to gorilla size, on them. There's just one problem: it's never a good idea to spurn your assistant/housekeeper/mistress when she knows where the bodies are buried and where you keep your chimpanzee embiggening formula.
