Her admirers loaded her with beads and bear claws. Now a certain rich citizen of Stonycave, named Stony Kone, although he owned the largest cave in the city, could never get a mate and his only admirer was Miss Stone Hatchet, who was neither beautiful nor young. It chanced that Willy Walla, who was a young swell of the town, saw Heela Hoola, and his heartbeat violently against the wolf skin which clad him and he decided then and there to have Heela Hoola for his own. Among the domestic unhappiness in Stony Cave the most violent was that of Leaping Loo, and to increase it was the fact of the "other man," Little Big Club, whose infatuation tor Leaping Loo was the gossip of every cave in the town. Willy Walla having made a good impression with Heela Hoola, is knocked on the head by Stony Kone and the fair Heela Hoola is violently dragged away to Stony Kone's cave. Meanwhile Little Big Club has taken a violent fancy to Leaping Loo and pursues her with his love. Her husband, Hairy Hand, is furiously jealous, and, not knowing where his mate is, goes in search. He is told by Miss Stone Hatchet that Stony Kone has a woman in his cave and Hairy Hand goes in to see if it is his own woman. A terrific battle ensues and Hairy Hand emerges fr«m Stony Kone's cave bearing Heela Hoola, whom Stony Kone had captured. He turns Heela Hoola over to Willy Walla and together they go to Willy's cave in great happiness. Stony Kone's heart and bruises are healed by Miss Stone Hatchet, and the fair Leaping Loo elopes with Little Big Club and leaves Hairy Hand to shift for himself.
