A tribe of cavewomen gets horny, seeks men for procreation. Under the guidance of Tigri (Laurette Luez), they kidnap some men from a neighboring tribe and bring them to the women's village to work as slaves and to impregnate those of child-bearing age. But Engor (Allan Nixon) escapes his captors and flees to the jungle. Along the way, he discovers fire. Hey, these things happen, OK? Besides, it comes in handy later, when the women's village is attacked by what we're told is a dragon but looks more like a flying rubber chicken. Engor successfully fends off the monster with his torch, which somehow turns the tables in the women's village. After fifteen years of independence, they're suddenly content to wait on the men hand and foot. What would Gloria Steinem say?
As usually occurs in these films, the ladies look like they've just been to the beauty salon. Though it takes place eons ago, the cavewomen all have Truman-era hair-dos. Plus, they each have a mouthful of gleaming white teeth. And there's not a body hair to be seen on either sex.
In an early scene, Engor fights off what is clearly a stuffed panther. He later eludes an elephant whose footage is obviously sped up. Engor and his men also bring down a giant who has been terrorizing the women for years. Though played by an actual circus giant, Guadi never comes across as being especially tall--or strong, as giants are supposed to be.
The story is told by a narrator through lines like, "Strangely enough, the swan dive was invented before the swan." Perhaps they didn't call it the swan dive yet? That would be my guess.
