SYN: Shemp, Larry & Moe are three Stone Age cavemen. They are have developed very sharp skills in the art of hunting, fishing and guerilla survival tactics using only the most primitive of weaponry and tools. When Moe offers to let Larry and Shemp meet his new girlfriend's two sisters, it's a prehistoric riot. Of course, the one butt-ugly one goes to Shemp. When the introductory mating rituals have died down, trouble shows up in the form of the girl's ex-boyfriends. This results in a madcap of mayhem as the boys arm their "Tree-branch catapult cannon" and start firing some heavy artillery (mud-packs, fish, bird's nests, lava rocks and dinosaur eggs) in the enemy's direction. As a final blow to render the enemy unconscious, the boys break out the secret weapon, a skunk!

Quick Hits:

- A low budget prevented the use of dinosaurs. The only wildlife - a duck, a cow, a fish and a turtle. Still, a very funny concept. Who needs Dinosaurs when you have Moe, Larry & Shemp?
