Manu the witchdoctor (who had been banished by his tribe due to his evil practices) carves a meteorite into a giant figure he names Hogar that he hopes will make him leader of his tribe. Manu promised he could bring the statue to life to impress the people. While he is trying to entice the statue to move, the French are testing an atomic bomb nearby. The radioactive fallout combined with a lightning bolt hitting the statue brings Hogar to life. The giant kills Manu and goes on a rampage through Africa destroying jungles and villages. Finally aliens from another universe arrive and destroy him.
