Dino Boy shows Ugh the principles of kite-flying-with Bronty supplying the power. The rope attached to Bronty breaks, sending the kite careening into the hillside.

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.)
