Synopsis:
When an archaeologist, Dr. William Sayre, discovers a carving of dinosaurs by cavemen, he is discredited as a fraud. Bruce Wayne decides to help Dr. Sayre by going back in time with the help of Professor Nichols.
In the past Bruce and Dick Grayson become Batman and Robin and befriend a mask-wearing caveman named Tiger Man. They help Tiger Man defeat a tyrant called Borr, who threatens his tribe. Borr's secret weapon is a dinosaur frozen in ice. The dinosaur gets free when Batman starts a fire. It rampages for a few moments before dying.
Following the encounter, Tiger Man announces that he will draw the events on a cave wall. When Bruce returns to the present, he explains that the dinosaur existed at the same time as humans only because it had been trapped in ice for millions of years.
