Tales From the Cryptkeeper

Young Peters birthday is coming up, and hes looking forward to spending the weekend with his overworked father, a scientist at the local museum. A new exhibit is being designed to house a genuine caveman, and Orwell, the imposing curator of the museum, insists that Peters father work the weekend to make sure its ready to present to the board of directors. Peter is enraged by what he sees as his father choosing work over Peter. Out of spite, Peter deactivates the cavemans cryogenic chamber, hoping to ruin everything, but instead the caveman awakens! When it becomes clear that the caveman means no harm, Peter throws a jacket over his shoulders and takes him out for the weekend instead! Things start off smoothly enough, but all kinds of mayhem breaks loose as the caveman contends with twentieth century baseball games, amusement parks and irate mobs of people. Peter very quickly come to regret his snap judgements and his rash decision; by the time things are under control again, he and his father come to see each others points of view.
