Synopsis
Narrowly escaping from a marriage to Chief Tugg's older daughter Ita (instead of younger daughter Embra, whom he really wants), Anthro returns home where he finds his family in need of food. Lart leaves the family because of his injured leg, so that he won't be a burden to them. Anthro goes out to find his brother, and when they return, they drive off a gang of apes who are attacking the family cave.
