Now before Kong actually shows up, a giant octopus randomly appears and threatens the lives of a little native boy and his mother. Our heroes and the natives try attacking it with spears and torches, but to no avail. It is here that Kong appears, smashing the pitiful structure meant to keep him at bay. Kong throws some rocks at it and grapples with it a bit before the octopus figures out that it is no match, though it did put up a decently awkward fight. Yes, as far as monster fights go, this one is a big dud, even if the use of a live octopus with miniatures is an inspiring effect.
