This anarchic story is told in grunts, howls or simple gibberish. Nobody on-screen utters a single word of intelligible dialogue. The director construed it as a radical attack on bourgeois values.

The middle-aged Themroc is a typical, brutish, dirty-undershirted factory laborer. His job is dull.  Themroc realises he's had enough of the same old routine.

Themroc goes to work one morning, the same as every morning, but there's a difference this time. He is called onto the carpet after playing voyeur on a manager and his leggy secretary. This causes Themroc to snap, and he walks out with plans to send himself back to the stone age. The second he gets home, this disgruntled lunatic smashes his apartment to pieces with a sledgehammer and throwing all his material possessions out the window. His anarchy is catching—soon his neighbours from across the street are doing the same and it's not long before the media and the police are taking an interest. But Themroc doesn't stop with acting like a caveman. By the end of the film he has committed incest with his sister and killed, cooked and eaten a policeman, too.

这个无政府主义的故事是通过咕哝、嗥叫或没有含义的胡言乱语讲述的。屏幕上的人没有一句让人听得懂的对话。导演说它是对中产阶级价值观的激烈抨击。

中年人Themroc是一个典型的、粗野的、衣衫不整的工人。他的工作单调无趣。Themroc已经受够了重复同样的生活。

一天Themroc又去上班，似乎和往日并无不同，但这次却有差别。他偷看到一个经理与长腿秘书的活动，于是被叫去老板的办公室。这导致Themroc突然爆发，他扔下工作，决定回到石器时代。从回到家那一刻起，这个闷闷不乐的家伙就开始用大锤把房子砸碎，并把所有的东西都扔了出去。他的无政府行动还具有传染性，不久这个街区的邻居们都如法效仿。媒体和警察立即闻讯而来。但Themroc没有停止他那穴居人似的活动。在电影结尾，他与自己的妹妹发生了乱伦关系，还杀死并烹食了一个警察。
