Episode 1 - Forbidden Fruit
September. 07,1974

The Butlers and Tana are gathering fruit that looks like an orange. Gorok and Lok come by and tell them to leave the fruit. It is reserved for a Brontosaurus. At that moment the Brontosaurus shows up hungry for the fruit. Everyone leaves the fruit except Greg. He sneaks it back with him to the cave. The Brontosaurus finishes all the fruit and even the leaves on the tree. He smells the fruit that Greg took and follows them back to their cave. The Brontosaurus causes a cave in while trying to get into the cave to get the last of the fruit. They are all trapped in the cave. The cave starts to fill with water from an underground river. Greg and Tana find a way out and scare the Brontosaurus away with a landslide of rocks. In the meantime, the others are siphoning the water out with a bamboo tube to buy some time. Greg drops a vine down through a hole in the ceiling and saves all of them.

Episode 2 - What Goes Up
September. 14,1974

While digging for roots, the Butlers and the Cave Dwellers see a Tyrannosaurus Rex running from the only thing it is afraid of - fire ants! These hand-size ants are swarming toward the Butler's cave. Lok runs to the village to warn the tribe. The villagers try to get Lok to abandon his family while they run for the hills, but Lok runs back to his family instead. The village is surrounded by army ants. Gorak decides to hold the ants off by surrounding the cave with lit coal. The family digs for coal as fast as they can. Kim gets the idea of making a hot air balloon to take them to the top of the cliff where the ants won't come. They demonstrate the principle to the cave dwellers and they all start stitching hides together. Gorak goes to the cave of Giant Snakes to find enough snake skin to make a balloon. Lok and Katie go to the river to see if the fire ants have crossed the river. They watch the ants chew a tree down and cross the river on it. While John is figuring out how big the bal

Episode 3 - A Turned Turtle
September. 21,1974

Kim, Katie, and Lok take a trip to see a hermit about a secret way out of the valley. The hermit tells them it is past the three giant volcano mountain peaks (‘Valley of the Three Giants'). At first Gorak refuses to lead them to the three giant peaks because a Tyrannosaurus lives in that valley (the ‘Valley of the Godon'). He reluctantly agrees to take them. A turtle shell is used as a boat to get to the three giant peaks. A dinosaur attacks them in the water. John, Gorak, and Lok stay in the boat to fight the creature while the others run to hide in the jungle. Two volcanoes explode causing a tidal wave. It carries the men away from the others. A new mountain peak is formed separating the men from the others. Gorak says they must rescue the others before nightfall because of the Tyrannosaurus. It hunts in the night. A tunnel that connects the two valleys is now underwater because of the volcano eruptions. John tells them they will use the turtle shell like a submarine to go through th

Another cave dwellers tells him that since Konga (Tyrannosaurus Rex) hunters there now, the hunting was bad. Gorok figures they can wait until Konga leaves. Back at the camp Greg and Tana are working on the paddle wheel of a boat John is building, while Katie, Kim and Gera are tying together vines. There is already a boat in the background. Katie asks when they are going to eat and Kim tells here they are waiting for the men to get back from hunting. Kim notices the men coming back now, but Katie notices they have no game. John and Katie explain that the boat can be peddled with their feet and therefore go up the river where the water is too fast for the dugout canoes. Later that night Digger wakes up Katie and Lok.
