Bozo and Butch accidentally take a hot-air balloon ride, and wind up in a prehistoric land with dinosaurs. They meet a caveman inventor who makes a wagon with square wheels, an elevator and, finally, an airplane. He takes them for a ride, but they all crash. Tired of his wacky ideas, Bozo and Butch get back in their balloon and fly back home with the caveman following, flapping his wooden wings.

Production notes

A total of 156 five-minutes shorts were made: 20 in 1958, 84 more were added in 1959, and 52 were made in 1962.

The character of Bozo the Clown was created by Alan W. Livingston for Capitol Records (The cartoons originally bore a credit line for Alan W. Livingston as the creator of the Bozo character, but that has been deleted over the years.).

In its advertising campaign for the series, Jayark Films Corporation promised "magnificent animation."
