Gilligan's Island

Five tourists led by the hapless First Mate Gilligan and the gruff Skipper of a small boat are shipwrecked and marooned on a deserted island.

"We've got to function as a group," Skipper says. But before that lesson sinks in, various factions construct individual huts that can withstand neither hurricanes nor Gilligan.

The supply hut is burglarized and the flare gun is stolen. Could Gilligan be the culprit?

Skipper dreams about how he transformed a radio into a transmitter while in the Navy. When he can't remember details, the castaways try recreating conditions that will stir the Skipper's memory.

The survivors are not alone! They discover an old aviator (Hans Conried) and his crashed plane on the island. All that remains is to fix the plane and send the flyboy off to carry word of their plight.

Who's in charge - Skipper or Thurston Howell III? The castaways decide to settle the question the democratic way, complete with election campaigning.
