Synopsis:

This uproariously bad monster mess is set on a remote tropical island, where a native prince places a curse on the elders just prior to his execution for breaking tribal law, promising to return from the dead for revenge. He does, of course -- but he can only manage to return from the grave as a giant walking tree. (His obvious displeasure with having assumed this shape is indicated by the tree-thing's permanently constipated expression.) There is some indication given that his resurrection has something to do with atomic testing taking place on the island, but this is obviously incidental to the real plot, which treats viewers to endless scenes of natives running in horror from a shambling, ticked-off rubber stump. In print, this sounds like broad comedy material, but the only laughs to be found in this clunker are purely unintentional.

A conspiracy between Chief Maranka, Witch-doctor Tano and wife Kori, leaves Kimo doomed. He is murdered during a ritual and buried vertically into the ground in a coffin. However, a group of scientists investigating radioactivity on the island unwittingly cause him to mutate into a vengful tree monster - the Tabonga, who once loose sets out on a mission of revenge against his wrong-doers. The scientists endeveour to stop the monster and send it to the bottom of the quicksand swamp in the middle of the island.

On a remote South-Sea island a tribal prince is killed by a witch doctor for making friends with the American atomic scientists researching nearby. Before his death he swears revenge and returns from the grave as a giant tree-like monster looking to devour everything in its path.
