A Stone Age tribe is threatened by bronze-mining invaders led by greedy Lord Nooth. To win back their home, they challenge these more sophisticated folk to a game of football.

Young Dug’s sheltered life with his Stone Age tribe is shattered by bronze-mining invaders led by greedy Lord Nooth. To win his home back, desperate Dug gambles on challenging these more sophisticated folk in a contest they love, but he only knows from rock paintings: football.
