Synopsis

Roman, who has returned, asks Strongarm for Wildflower's hand in marriage, but the stubborn Strongarm refuses. Wildflower gets upset, and she leaves home to run away with Roman. After some deep thought (and also several drinks with the Wise One), Strongarm has a change of heart, or he is too drunk to care! A runaway ox ride ends up crashing into Dark Eyes' hut, destroying it. Kum Kum, of course, is nabbed by his Poppa and thrown straight in the Wood Cave... right where he was when the series began.

Production notes

This TV series ran for 26 episodes.

Created by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.

The airing of this series on British children's TV in the early 1980s was the first English-language broadcast of work by Yasuhiko. The show was a surprising success, perhaps because its hero didn't wear any pants.

This series was bought by Paramount for import to the United States, but there is no indication that it was ever televised there. The series was dubbed into English in Australia using a voice cast of Australians, along with Australian technical crew.
