Synopsis:

A young college student named Paul Harper hypothesizes that the past, present and future are occurring simultaneously in different dimensions; and if one could cross over into other dimensions, one could travel in time. Coincidently when Harper is later driving with his girlfriend, Cathy, they pass through a mist and enter a prehistoric world. They see a giant white bird, a saber-toothed tiger, some missing link-type near-humans (who Harper believes may be the progenitors of the Abominable Snowman); they then rescue a Neanderthal child from a giant sail-back lizard. After eluding a tyrannosaur, they are captured by a band of Neanderthals and offered up as sacrifice to a Pterodactyl hybrid. They are rescued by a man more advanced than the Neanderthals, who calls himself "Cro." He leads them back to the mist so they can go home. Of course the Dean doubts their story, until a necklace that Cro (now identified as a Cro-Magnon) had placed in their car is found.

Synopsis:

Claude Duval is a portrait painter of high renown. Nobility is always asking for commissions from him. He now turns them all down, saying he wants to paint a landscape that shall be a symbol of man’'s peace and contentment. He has the landlady lock him in. She is only allowed to open the door to bring him food. At the order of the queen, she is forced to unlock the door one day. The painter is gone, the portrait is finished – and a small figure reclining by a lake (in the painting) looks exactly like Claude Duval.
