So the basis of this theory is centered around ignorance.
Pretty much it goes like this :
There are humans chained down to facing a wall. They cannot move their heads.
There are other humen using puppets with a fire to create shadows on the wall and they make noises that resemble the animals/creatures in the shadows.
One man is released from the prison. He is shocked to see what was actually going on, at first he cannot believe it.
He goes out into the world and bonds with the animals/creatures/world he was portrayed
He returns to the cave and tries to free the others
They angrily snap back at him an attack him when he tired to help them. It scares him that he was once like that, filled with ignorance
He thinks about the time he spent in the cave and how everything is just a matter of perspective
but he isn't welcomed back with rejoice
He has no family or friends
He decides to leave and live a different life.
So he gets a means of transportation
And he yelled to the cabbie 'Yo holmes smell ya later'
He looked at my kingdom
He was finally there
To sit on his throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Good effort, but it didn't surprise me. Anyway the Allegory of the Cave is a marvelous work of philosophy when taken out of context. In its intended context it only works to (poorly) support Plato's philosophy, which amounts to a collection of pseudo religious psychobabble.
