Summary

Pathe Intertitles - "We’ve heard enough about ‘Cave-men’" said some ‘Pot Luck’ members from the ‘Vaudeville’ - "Let’s go to Chislehurst and become Cave-women" ---"
""They haven’t been filmed before", said the guide, "during the late unpleasantness they stored high explosives here.""
""Pity we didn’t bring a band", said one - "we could have had quite a nice dance --""
"'Course, they had to sit on the old Druids’ sacrificial altar, where different homage was paid 2,000 years ago ---"
"And examine the wall markings - some going back to the Stone Age --"
"But, when they were told there were over 20 miles of caves - they faded away."
