Viewing a marriage as a way off the island the Skipper insists Gilligan go through with the marriage, but first he must pass the marriage test. The marriage test involves Gilligan carrying the (overweight) bride around in his arms, then a bravery test where knives are thrown at Gilligan. Gilligan passes all the tests.

A contest for the daughter is arranged - spears at dawn! Ginger comes on to Haruki in an effort to spare Gilligan any harm; her efforts are spurned. The duel begins; Gilligan is given first throw and hits a coconut which knocks out Haruki. The Chief's daughter decides to marry Haruki anyway, but they cannot leave the island because the marriage is by invitation only. Being good sports the natives invite Gilligan anyway, but when told he must pass the Best Man test - Poison Darts at 6 paces - he jumps out of the canoe and swims back to the island! </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Credits</h2> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-filler="true"></p><h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Main Cast</h2> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-filler="true"></p><h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Guest Cast</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Russ%20Grieve%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Russ%20Grieve%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRuss%20Grieve%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" href="/wiki/Russ_Grieve" title="Russ Grieve">Russ Grieve</a> ... <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Native%20Chief%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Native%20Chief%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BNative%20Chief%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" class="new" title="Native Chief (page does not exist)" rel="nofollow" data-uncrawlable-url="L3dpa2kvTmF0aXZlX0NoaWVmP2FjdGlvbj1lZGl0JnJlZGxpbms9MQ==">Native Chief</a> </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Henny%20Buckus%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Henny%20Buckus%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHenny%20Buckus%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" class="new" title="Henny Buckus (page does not exist)" rel="nofollow" data-uncrawlable-url="L3dpa2kvSGVubnlfQnVja3VzP2FjdGlvbj1lZGl0JnJlZGxpbms9MQ==">Henny Buckus</a> ... <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Native%20Mother%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Native%20Mother%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BNative%20Mother%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" class="new" title="Native Mother (page does not exist)" rel="nofollow" data-uncrawlable-url="L3dpa2kvTmF0aXZlX01vdGhlcj9hY3Rpb249ZWRpdCZyZWRsaW5rPTE=">Native Mother</a> </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Mary%20Foran%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Mary%20Foran%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMary%20Foran%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" href="/wiki/Mary_Foran" title="Mary Foran">Mary Foran</a> ... <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Native%20Daughter%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Native%20Daughter%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BNative%20Daughter%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" class="new" title="Native Daughter (page does not exist)" rel="nofollow" data-uncrawlable-url="L3dpa2kvTmF0aXZlX0RhdWdodGVyP2FjdGlvbj1lZGl0JnJlZGxpbms9MQ==">Native Daughter</a> </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Eddie%20Little%20Sky%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Eddie%20Little%20Sky%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BEddie%20Little%20Sky%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-12425068785f60db49e6bc4" href="/wiki/Eddie_Little_Sky" title="Eddie Little Sky">Eddie Little Sky</a> ...
