His Prehistoric Past
A lighthearted silent comedy romp through a fantastical Stone Age dream, built on physical gags, romantic pursuit, and the whimsy of an absurd prehistoric world.
Set mostly in the Stone Age, a prehistoric king, with a harem of wives, rules a beach. Charlie arrives and falls for the king's favorite wife. In the end, it turns out to have been a dream; Charlie was asleep in the park.
