Summary

Pathe synopsis: Step back a hundred million years to the dark slimy swamps of the dark dark ages. That’s what Arthur Hayward does when he goes home at night. His hobby is making prehistoric dinosaurs out of rubber. They’re used for film epics like "One Million Years BC". They even have tiny rubber skeletons so they can move their joints just as the gargantuan giants did. The result is animated action: diplodicus [sic] rampaging round London throwing over buses and tearing up trees.
