Plot
A South Seas island prince is wrongly convicted of murder and executed by having a knife driven into his heart. The prince is buried in a hollow tree trunk and forgotten about until nuclear radiation reanimates it in the form of the tobonga, a scowling tree stump. The monster escapes from the laboratory and murders several people, including the true murderer (the witch doctor, whom the tobonga pushes down a hill and is impaled on his own crown of shark teeth). The creature cannot be stopped, burned, or trapped. Only when a crack rifle shot drives the knife (which still protrudes from the creature's chest) all the way through its heart it finally dies and sinks into the swamp. A pair of American scientists save the day.
