Plot

The Stooges hope to collect a reward by proving to museum curator B. Bopper (Emil Sitka) that cavemen indeed still exist. They embark on an expedition with 16mm camera in hand, ready to film whatever they find. Eventually, the Stooges return to Bopper with a film showing three cavemen living in the prehistoric age. The film illustrates the three tending to their daily chores, consisting of mixing milk, hunting fish, and gathering eggs. The film also shows the three cavemen defending their women from other fellow cavemen. Bopper is ecstatic, and is preparing to cut the Stooges a check. However, Bopper overhears the sneaky Stooges talking about how the film was a hoax, as they played the cavemen themselves. The curator is furious, and promptly shoots the three frauds in their derrieres, before shooting himself in the foot.

Production notes

The caveman footage is recycled from the 1948's I'm a Monkey's Uncle; new footage was filmed on August 26, 1954.[1]

gollark: Actually, if self-replicators are cheap and relatively fast, why limit it to computing?
gollark: Maybe moons themselves are expensive somehow.
gollark: Still, I would expect that for non-time-critical stuff people wouldn't mind waiting for a few years if they could run their computing tasks on an entire moon comparatively cheaply.
