Diamonds Are an Ape's Best Friend

Synopsis
A giant ape steals Mrs. Howell's diamond brooch. When that's not enough he kidnaps Mrs. Howell - all because he's attracted to the scent of her perfume.

Credits
Ape……Janos Prohaska

Trivia
When Gilligan spills perfume on himself the ape leaves Mrs Howell and carries Gilligan away; later the ape leaves Gillgian for a female ape!

When the Ape throws the Skipper to the ground-this is actually a dummy dressed to look like the skipper!

Janos Prohoska also reappeared Gillgians Island as a Ape in "Forward March" and "Our Vines hAve Tender Apes". He later guest starred on "Dusty's trail" playing a gorrilla and a Bear

On "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" epsiode the TV anoouncer remarks the epsiode is where a female gorrilla  falls in love in Gilligan-a apparently an injoke reference to this epsiode!
