Description:  A scientist falls asleep and dreams he is being chased around by saurian monsters and buxom cave women before being woken up in his fossiliferous laboratory by his assistant. A scientist dreams of meeting prehistoric monsters. Based on a cartoon series by E.T. Reed for the English periodical Punch. The humor was derived from seeing modern habits and conveniences transposed into the antediluvian world of cavemen. Generally believed to be the first film depiction of dinosaurs, here accomplished through the use of simple pantomime costumes.
