Plot

The Stooges embark on a quest to validate the existence of contemporary cavemen, driven by the prospect of securing a monetary reward from museum curator B. Bopper. Armed with a 16mm camera, they venture into the wilderness, poised to document any evidence supporting their claim. Upon their return, they present Bopper with a film purportedly showcasing three cavemen inhabiting a prehistoric milieu. The footage depicts the cavemen engaged in mundane activities such as milk mixing, fish hunting, egg gathering, and defending their female counterparts from rival cavemen.

Bopper receives the film with exuberance, anticipating the validation of his beliefs and the fulfillment of his reward pledge. However, his enthusiasm is short-lived when he overhears the Stooges clandestinely confessing to orchestrating the charade by portraying the cavemen themselves. Incensed by their deception, Bopper responds with a visceral display of outrage, administering punitive retribution by firing upon the Stooges' posterior regions. The altercation culminates with Bopper inflicting self-harm by inadvertently discharging his firearm into his own foot.
