Synopsis: A group of hikers are caught in a rainstorm and go into a cave for shelter. While in the cave they meet an archaeologist who  is studying some of the paintings on the wall. The archaeologist then entertains the hikers with a story he has been able to interpret from  the paintings. He tells the story of a young caveman named Tumak, the son of the chief of the uncivilized Rock Tribe, and Loana, the daughter of the chief of the more peaceful Shell Tribe. He tells of their struggles for survival and how the two tribes eventually became one. 

Triva: Originally, D.W. Griffith was supposed to direct the film. However, he quit in the middle of filming so Hal Roach and his son  completed the project. Film was the number one Box Office attraction of 1940. Nominated for 2 Oscars - Best Special Effects and Best Music. The special effects were so good that footage from this film was used in numerous other films produced well into the 1960s. In order to get the lizards to  move, heaters had to be turned on full blast because reptiles don't move in cold weather.
