You're a geologist, Dave.

What do you think?

Ever unearth anything like this?

[ Chuckles ]

I think what we're about to unearth...

is a practical joker

who plants phony footprints...

and makes weird noises in caves

to put people on.

[Jim ] Now, watch your step.

There's a lot of junk in here.

[ Vicki ]

Yeah. There's something right here.

[Jim ]

Well, come on, dummy.

That's why I gave you the torch --

so you wouldn't break your neck.

[ Vicki ]

Well, my eyes haven't adjusted yet.

[Jim ]

Just take your time.

[ Gasps ]

Jim? Jim?

Jim!

Dave?

-[ Vicki Screams ] Oh,Jim, hurry.!

[Jim ] We're coming, Vicki.!

Stay where you are.!

[ Vicki ]Jim, no.!

You're getting farther away.!

[ David ]

Dead end.! Turn back.!

[Jim ] This is the right one, Dave.

To the left.! Here.! Around this bend.!

[ David ]

Don't get too far in front of me,Jim.!

[ Laughing Continues ]

[ Vicki ]

Oh,Jim.!Jim.!

- Vicki!

- Oh,Jim,Jim!

- Are you all right, babe?

- Who the heck are you?

The book.

That's what you're after.

- We aren't looking for a book.

- [ Cackling ]

You're here.

You have to take it.

[ Cackling Continues ]

Come on. Come on.

Wow, is this weird.

Well, let's follow him.

[ Chuckles ]

This way.

[ Cackling Continues ]

[ Susan ] Do you really think

we ought to follow him?

Well, it can't hurt us.

[ Cackling ]

Come on. Come on.

Here it is.

[ Cackling Continues ]

The book.

The real book.!

Now it's your book.

Take it!

Don't you want it back?

[ Cackling Continues ]

Jim.Jim, there was

a skeleton in there.

- Don't you think--

- A skeleton?

- What's this about a skeleton?

- I saw one in there,just before the old man --

- What kind of skeleton?

- Human!

Oh, come on. You didn't see

a human skeleton. It was just --

Don't tell me what I didn't see.

It was right in front of me.

In that torchlight? It was probably

some animal or some rocks or--

- It was human.

- Well, we could go back and see.

- Oh, not this kid.

- No matches.

We'll tell somebody back in town about it

and let them take care of it. Okay?

- All right. Feeling better?

- Boy, I'd love to get this book open.

Well, let's have the picnic

and examine the book.

- Okay. You hungry?

- Frankly, I'm starved.

But let's do find

a more wholesome atmosphere.

I can't believe that crazy old man

has really been living in that cave.

- Yeah. Looked like he was.

- How do you suppose he exists in there?
