Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

There are three charades, a reversal indicatorโ€ฆ

 

[reversal indicator] [charade] [charade] [charade] [/reversal indicator]

Note: the reversal indicator applies to all three charade elements, so in solving this, keep in mind that the three elements are themselves in reverse order.
