When a Member of Parliament disappears, supernatural sleuth Thomas Carnacki discovers that he has travelled to another dimension, one in which the human race was unable to evolve past the primitive caveman stage. Carnacki finds the man on the verge of death, the tribesfolk tending to him under attack from deadly predators, and abandons them all to their fate.
