Plot

The boys watch "Australian Outback Guy" on television, and are inspired by it to go hunting for crocodiles themselves. On their journey, Kyle falls down a hole. When trying to rescue him, Stan spots a frozen man in the hole. The boys pull his body out, and the frozen mass is given to Dr. Mephesto, the genetic engineer. Stan and Kyle start arguing over who found the man, and what to name him. Stan prefers "Gorak", but Kyle suggests "Steve"; they start a major argument over this. They each declare Cartman as their new best friend.

At Mephisto's laboratory, Mephisto and Kevin thaw the ice and discover that Steve/Gorak is wearing Eddie Bauer clothes, not seen since the year 1996, nearly 32 months before.

They discover that the ice actually preserved the man and that he is alive. Mephisto treats him as a Neanderthal and is unable to understand him, even though he speaks perfect English. To make his research more lucrative, some mysterious federal agents persuade Mephisto to display the unfrozen man to the public, recreating his natural habitat for him by building a completely "1996-oriented" room. A conveyor belt at the new exhibit pulls Kenny to his death. Unfortunately the "ice man" has a serious temper and hates his treatment.

Seeing this, Stan and Kyle are upset at the ice man's inhumane treatment, so they set him free, but keep arguing over what the ice-man should be called, and they agree to fight each other the following day. The next day, Larry (the ice-man's real name) discovers that his wife remarried and has two children who are, oddly enough, 8 and 13 years old. Frustrated, Larry realizes he cannot live in this world. He attempts to refreeze himself, but with little success. Kyle, however 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.

Turmoil erupts at the train station - Stan and Kyle have a fistfight while putting Larry on the train, and the FBI wants to recapture Larry to "take over Sweden", aided by the "Australian Outback Guy" from the beginning of the episode, who wants to "stick his thumb up his butthole" (his apparent running gag), which he does later on after he subdues Larry. But their attempts prove futile; Larry escapes in a helicopter, and "Australian Outback Guy" dismembered by the helicopter blades. Stan and Kyle reconcile, because they would rather be best friends with each other than with Cartman. Cartman then attempts to put his thumb in a cow's anus, resulting in the cow's anus nearly consuming his entire body. He comments that "it smells like Kenny's house in here."
