The Producer

The Producer is the 70th episode of Gilligan's Island and the fourth episode of the third season.

Synopsis
The Skipper and Gilligan see a plane and rush to light the signal fire, but it turns out to be in distress and it crashes off shore. Egocentric movie producer, Harold Hecuba survives the crash and comes ashore, ordering everyone around and taking over the Howells hut, making them his personel servants, and promising to rescue them when his employees come looking for him. Ginger, meanwhile, tries auditioning for him, but gets insulted for her effort. She refuses to go home even when they are rescued. Everyone then decides to put on a musical featuring Hamlet to showcase her talent, but Hecuba discovers it and takes over the production, eventually playing all the roles to show everyone how it should be done. The next morning, Gilligan and the Skipper discover he had vanished while the Professor learns from the radio that Hecuba has stolen their play to develop it without them. That night, Gilligan is still singing the songs, annoying the Skipper who knocks him out of his hammock.
