Synopsis

The Bird-Men, a tribe of people hunters, pursue a young caveman named Goom-wah through the jungle. Before Dino Boy and Ugh rescue him, the duo decide to escort the pygmy back to his own tribe through a treacherous river route. After deadly encounters with roaring rapids, giant water moccasins, giant bees, and a tribe of Snake People, the tribe barely make it to Goom-wah's village and back home with their lives. Ugh carries an exhausted Dino Boy home where they are met by Goom-wah, who thoroughly enjoyed himself and wants to know when they can do it again.

Production notes

Dino Boy followed the adventures of a young man named Tod, who accidentally parachuted into an undiscovered part of the world known as the Lost Valley. The denizens of the valley were throwbacks to prehistoric times, including Neanderthals as well as dinosaurs.

Tod's guide in this strange, new world was Ugh, a caveman who possessed enough intelligence to speak broken English. Dino Boy's pet, Bronty, was a small brontosaurus that followed him everywhere regardless of the danger. (Note: the Johnny Carson who provided Dino Boy's voice wasn't the talk show host.)
