Synopsis

Long long ago when the world was young, as the cartoon states at its opening, a hungry Pink Panther finds a bone. A caveman (Big Nose Man) seizes the meager bone, then loses it to a giant lizard, who loses it to a large dinosaur. The Panther fights with all three. Each finds the same meal, then proceeds to chase after the one who has this scarce delight. A man-eating plant is also hungry. It's the crocodile who wins the food last.

Play this episode to any audience, any age, from any background, anywhere in the world, even to aliens, and they will be in tears of laughter. They don't make them like that anymore
