The barne- sword of Maurice decided the issue in favour of the veldt.
In this version of the basic Kong tale, the lovely lady is actually a child of the veldt; Jill Young grew up in Africa with her father in a wildlife preserve, and has been friends with the giant ape she calls Joe her whole life.
At about the age of twenty-five he is said to have disappeared into the veldt, where he remained alone for several days, under the influence of deep religious fervour.
