Max and his mom visit the La Brea Tar Pits where they encounter a caveman named Gor and a sabertooth tiger who are destined to fight for eternity ever since both of them were exposed to a radioactive meteorite.

Max determines not to let Norman take on this fight alone, and must retrace his steps from memory through various portals in order to reunite with his companions in Greece.

In caverns nearby, they find a crazed nuclear scientist who plans to use giant mutated scorpions and his own natural immunity to radiation as a means to take revenge on those who caused his condition.
