(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)

Stan, Kyle, Eric, and Kenny are inspired to go hunting for crocodiles after watching Steve Irwin on television. While hunting, they find a frozen man when Stan rescues Kyle after he accidentally falls down a hole. The boys retrieve the body and take it into town, hoping to receive a reward for finding the man. It's decided to give the man to Dr. Mephestos, the genetic engineer. At this point Stan and Kyle get into a fight about what the "caveman's" name should be, eventually leading to a falling-out.
At Mephisto's laboratory, Mephisto and Kevin thaw the ice and discover the man is alive and has been frozen for only 32 months judging by the Eddie Bauer clothes he is wearing. Despite this, Mephisto treats him as a Neanderthal and is unable to understand him, even though he speaks perfect English. To make his research more lucrative, Mephisto is persuaded by the FBI to display the unfrozen man to the public, recreating his natural habitat for him by building a completely "1996-oriented" room. Kenny dies at one point by getting caught in a conveyor belt.
Stan and Kyle become upset at the ice man's inhumane treatment, so they decide to set him free. Upon being released the unfrozen man (whose real name is Larry) returns to his home only to discover that his wife remarried and has two children (the younger of whom was born 5 years before he was actually frozen). Frustrated, Larry attempts to refreeze himself, but with little success. Kyle comes up with a solution for Larry to take the train and go to live in Des Moines, Iowa, which is supposedly "three years behind" everywhere else. Dr. Mephisto, Cartman and the FBI, led by Steve Irwin, track Larry to the train station as he boards a train to Iowa. A chase ensues and the train crashes, killing Irwin, but Larry escapes in a helicopter. The FBI agents then get upset that they will not be able to use him to take over Sweden. Kyle and Stan then make-up.
