This piece of silliness is a more or less direct sequel to THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT. The message in a canister that the hero of that movie threw into the sea at the end of the film brings a second expedition to the "land that time forgot" to try to locate and rescue Bowen Tyler and Lisa Clayton. The rescue party is better equipped, having somehow managed to bring along an amphibian aircraft. The party consists of an old buddy of Bowen Tyler's, Ben McBride (Patrick Wayne); an alcoholic copilot named Hogan (Shane Rimmer), who, thankfully, is left out of most of the action); Dr. Edwin Norfolk (Thorley Walters), a scientist (to provide the correct names for all the prehistoric miniatures they encounter), and of course the obligatory female, this time a feisty photographer named Charly (Sarah Douglas), who is there to chronicle the event because her father has put up the money for the expedition. They take off from the water and fly to the interior and crash land. The obnoxious copilot remains behind (thankfully) to repair the plane while everyone else sets out to locate the survivors of the first film.

Along the way they meet a cave girl with Farrah Fawcett hair and perfect makeup (not to mention a costume that shows cleavage to the navel), who happens to speak excellent English, having been taught by the very man they're looking for. She agrees to lead them to Bowen, which allows for encounters with less educated and far uglier primitive men, who are bent on the annihilation of everyone more educated and less ugly than they. Eventually they're taken captive by soldiers wearing armor and riding horses. (I'm not kidding!) They are taken to a series of caves, the entrance of which is a group of gigantic skulls. The women are prepared (in red silk garments, but don't concern yourself with where this fabric came from) to be sacrificed to the gods of the volcano. The men are locked in a cave, complete with bars on the door. In an adjacent cave is Bowen, from the first movie. They break through the connecting wall and form a formidable trio who set out to rescue the two damsels. They reunite and all flee, but not before the bad chieftain gets tossed into the volcano, setting it off. The remainder of the movie has multicolored explosions representing the molten lava spewing forth.

The group all manage to return to the plane and take off, reconnoitering with the ship, which is about to leave the area without them. Everyone lives happily ever after except Bowen, who is shot in the tummy with an arrow and is left behind...once again.

The movie is ridiculously stupid and even more ludicrous than the previous film.

It does have one funny line, though I'm sure it wasn't intended as such. There's the sound of some beast bellowing in the distance. Someone says, "What is it?" And the dinosaur expert says, "It can only be one thing...prehistoric." Brilliant!
