An iguanodon egg is stolen from its nest by an oviraptor, which starts it on a journey that ends it up an Lemur Island, an island inhabited by lemurs and other creatures. The baby iguanodon Aladar soon emerges from the egg, to the fear and delight of the tiny mammals. The lemurs are initially cautious about the dinosaur, but they nonetheless take him in and raise him.

They soon are attacked by a pack of velociraptors, but are rescued by a herd of dinosaurs heading for their traditional breeding grounds, believed to have been spared from the meteoroid's blast.

As they finally reach the walls surrounding the breeding grounds, they discover that a landslide has blocked their only way in. Aladar and some others discover an alternate route through a cave and enter the fertile valley. Soon, however, they discover that the rest of the herd is following the leader, Kron, in a perilous attempt to scale the wall into the breeding grounds. Suddenly, one of the Carnotaurs corners the herd. The hungry carnivore is discouraged from a meal by the combined efforts of the group, but then spots Kron climbing the wall, and follows him up. The resulting battle kills both the Carnotaurus and Kron. But Aladar survives, and ushers the herd through the cave into the nesting grounds, where the eggs are laid and soon hatched.
