Plot
Explorer Professor Challenger is taking quite a beating in
the London
press thanks to his claim that living dinosaurs exist in the far reaches of the
Amazon. Newspaper reporter Edward Malone learns that this claim originates from
a diary given to him by fellow explorer Maple White's daughter, Paula. Malone's
paper funds an expedition to rescue Maple White, who has been marooned at the
top of a high plateau. Joined by renowned hunter John Roxton, and others, the
group goes to South America, where they do indeed find a plateau inhabited by
pre-historic creatures, one of which they even manage to bring back to London
with them.
