Episode Summary
The episode starts out with Phineas and Ferb watching an interesting program on their television called "Cavemen" causing them to eventually decide to find a caveman in the Danville Glacier while Candace is upstairs trying to find something to wear for Stacy's costume party. Candace gets a call from Jeremy and he says he is going as a caveman which causes Candace to go as a cavewoman. As Phineas and Ferb gather supplies for caveman hunting, their parents leave for the Historically Relevant Botanical Gardens and Perry heads to his lair. Stacy asks Candace to make a sandwich platter and goes off to do that while Phineas and Ferb head to the Danville Glacier.

Perry uses a card to pick the lock of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's door and ends up getting stuck in one of his traps while Dr. Doofenshmirtz rants about his scheme to rid the Tri-State Area of one of his biggest pet peeves, people who dress as sandwiches to advertise restaurants.

Phineas and Ferb are shown bringing home their newly found caveman, Conk.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz flies off in his new invention and Perry the Platypus breaks free and flies off after him.

Conk's hunger forces Phineas and Ferb to go wrangle up some snacks for him but while they are gone he notices Candace with her platter of sandwiches and runs off after her. Candace sees him and thinks he is Jeremy. She introduces him as Jeremy at the party so everyone believes the same. Candace then gets a call from Jeremy and realizes that this caveman is in fact not Jeremy. She calls her parents about it while being carried by Conk and her parents of course don't believe her.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz is out using his invention to remove the sandwich costumes but Perry comes along to stop him, while Phineas and Ferb find Conk and take him away from the party. Perry knocks the half-eaten sandwich suit out of the mouth of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Sandwich Suit Remove-inator, as well as Dr. Doofenshmirtz as Phineas and Ferb feed Conk sandwiches. Dr. Doofenshmirtz then crashes the Remove-inator into the Danville Glacier and parachutes away. He emerges from bushes in the sandwich suit. Conk is still hungry and begins charging the giant sandwich.

Perry's Entrance to his Lair
