The Stone Age, long before any of you were even born: The women of
acertain tribe of savages don't want to be bossed around by their men
anymore, so they, together with their (female) children, run away. But
then the giant Guadi (Johann Petursson) runs across their way and kills
all the women, only the children survive, and the old woman they call the
wise one (Janet Scott).
Years later: The children have grown up to be beautiful women and are
now led by Tigri (Laurette Luez), when one day the wise one orders them to
go search for men as their mates. Soon enough, our six women have found a
quartet of men, whom they catch with the help of their panther and their
slingshots. Only the leader of the men, Engor (Allan Nixon) escapes, if
badly wounded.
Back at his own tribe, Engor is nursed back to health, then he sets out
to free his friends and have revenge on Tigri and her tribe. On the way to
the women's tribe he by the way discovers fire ...
Once at the women's camp, he is quickly apprehended and turned into
Tigri's mate ... and he is treated no better than his friends, who are all
little more than servants to the women ...
Until one day a flying dragon attacks, and it's ony thanks to
Engor's recent discovery of the fire that the beast is fended off. With
the fire on their side, the men quickly overpower the women and make them
their slaves ... and Engor also discovers cooking.
Eventually, Engor decides that they all, women included, will travel
back to his home and join up with his tribe. But then they are attacked by
Guadi the giant, and only thanks to Engor's discovery, fire are they able
to defeat him by burning him up (burning him up without fire might
have been a bit hard, actually).
Upon this, the women fall in love with the men (and vice versa) and
decide to form a new tribe, and that night, four weddings are celebrated -
prompting the narrator to comment that the battle of the sexes can only be
won by romance, not war ...
A wonderful, wonderfully silly prehistoric epic: The acting is rather
dreadful, the furdresses the girls are wearing look anything but
authentic, the girls' hairdos are perfect for the early 1950's but have no
connection whatsoever to the stone age, the story of the film is just
plain stupid, and the narration, most of the time just stating what can be
seen plain obvious on the screen and often a few seconds too late too, is
simply hilarious.
It's one of these bad films you just can't help but loving ...
