Grunt, our favorite prehistoric caveman, has risen to become chief of the tribe, with an expectation that he will be a great leader of his people. However, like most people, Grunt hates the idea of public speaking. But with the guidance of his colleague, Tork, he quickly becomes a competent and convincing speaker and presenter.
