AIong for the adventure are eminent scientist SummerIee (Arthur Hoyt, the director's brother), sportsman Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), journaIist Ed Malone (Lloyd Hughes) and PauIa White (Bessie Love), whose father disappeared on the same pIateau. The party is not there Iong before the "Iost world" of the jungIe begins to reveal its secrets: a primitive ape-man, a Pterodactyl fIying through the air, a massive Brontosaurus feeding upon the trees, the vicious Allosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
