The Little Dictator

The Little Dictator is the Third episode of the Second Season; it aired September 30, 1965.

Synopsis
A Latin American dictator is exiled to the Island, and intends to turn the Castaways into his subjects under his own island nation. The Castaways manage to overthrow him upon realizing he has no more bullets for his gun, but he is stunned when they don't execute him, instead offering him to live in their community. Rodriguez instead decides to back Gilligan as leader of the island, but in a dream, Gilligan realizes he would make a bad leader. Going to a window, he discovers scenes of Indians attacking from the west and the country's ships sinking at sea among other disasters. Waking up, he realizes Rodriguez only wants to use him as a puppet. He finds Rodriguez getting rescued by his countrymen and promising to return for them. However, a few days later, a radio program reports Rodriguez has been overthrown again for claiming to be ruler of an island nation, only this time exiled to the Arctic.
