Synopsis
A giant ape steals Mrs. Howell's diamond brooch. When that's not enough, so he kidnaps Mrs. Howell - all because he's attracted to the scent of her perfume.
Credits
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 an ape in "Forward March" and "Our Vines Have Tender Apes". He later guest starred on "Dusty's trail" playing a gorrilla and a bear.
- Janos Prohoska appeared in the Star Trek episode "The Devil in the Dark" as the Horta.
- On "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" epsiode the TV announcer remarks the epsiode is where a female gorrilla falls in love in Gilligan-a apparently an injoke reference to this epsiode!
