Dave's Cave tells the charming story of Dave, who loves his cave. Inside, it is decorated exactly the way he likes it. Outside, there is a lovely spot for a fire, and the grass is always wonderfully green. However, Dave feels a sense of discontent. What if an even better cave exists out there?

Determined to find a new home, Dave sets off on a journey. Along the way, he discovers that good caves are not easy to come by. They are either too small, too big, or too crowded with bats. Just when it seems hopeless, he finds a cave that looks much more promising. The area outside has the perfect space for a fire, and the grass is greener than any he's ever seen... But why does it look so familiar?
