Boss (Cliff Norton) announces that the first red leaf of the year has appeared, meaning it is time "to pick young girl of village to win big honor". They line the young cave women and declare the winner by whoever draws the long straw. Stranded astronauts Mac (Frank Aletter) and Hector (Jack Mullaney) applaud what they think is a beauty contest won by Mlor (Mary Grace). They don't understand why her parents Shad (Imogene Coca) and Gronk (Joe E. Ross) aren't thrilled. When they ask Boss what she won he informs them that she will be sacrificed to the dinosaurs in order to keep them away from the village for the rest of the year. Mlor is guarded at night at the jungle altar by Clon (Mike Mazurki). Mac outsmarts him by using a flashlight to make him run away chasing the light. The astronauts whisk away Mlor against her will, or rather her sense of duty. Clon returns and finds her gone, thinking she was eaten by a dinosaur. They plan to hide her in a cave throughout the night to show Boss that even though she wasn't sacrificed, the dinosaurs will stay away. A dinosaur is digging away at the jungle cave entrance to Mlor and Mac and Hector use a recording of another dinosaur to lure it away-- right at them.
It's a pretty engaging episode, aided by some dinosaur action, eye candy from a scantily clad Mary Grace, and light touches of comedy.
