- Charlene feels her family is neglecting her, so she gets their attention by winning the school talent show; but her rising fame is riding on the backs of three young cavelings she found in the forest whose mother is looking for them.
- Charlene announces to the family that she plans to enter the school's talent show, but noone seems to pay attention to her. Wandering through the nearby forest area with her friend, she comes across a young caveling whose leg has been caught in a trap. After freeing it, 2 more cavelings come out of hiding, and begin to follow Charlene around.
Charlene is soon surprised when they start to mimic what she is doing. She then enters them in the talent show, as 'Charlene and her Amazing Humans,' and wins! The act soon catches the eye of a talent scout, and he tells Charlene that her act could become even more famous.
However, some of the family begin to question Charlene's actions when she starts to starve and overwork the cavelings, even ignoring the appearance of an elder caveling that appears to be their Mother.
Charlene and the humans perform at the state fair, but lose. The scout suggests that she take her act on a talent show, and have the humans jump through a flaming hoop. When this does not impress the audience, she then attempts to have them dive off a super-high platform into a small pool, but the younger caveling becomes scared and refuses to. The scout suggests she use a cattle prod, but that is enough for Charlene, who claims she will not harm the young cavelings for the amusement of the audience (even if they do want that).
After the show, Charlene sets the cavelings free, and they are reunited with their mother...only for the mother to be approached by the talent scout, who intends to help her exploit her young.
