Episode Summary
The rock-band, the Mosquitos, come to the island to escape their fans. The castaways get ready to leave until they discover that the Mosquitos aren't leaving for months. They then make life so stressful for them that Bingo, the leader, annouces they're leaving tomorrow. However the next morning the castaways discover that they meant to the other side of the island. The band then annouces that they are now staying even longer. Gilligan, the Skipper, Mr. Howell, and the Professor make their own band, the Gnats, but are terrible. Ginger, Mary Ann, and Mrs. Howell make a band of their own, the Honeybees, in hope that the Mosquitos will like it. However the plan backfires, and the Mosquitos leave without them since they have enough competition.
