Synopsis

An experimental space capsule lands on the Island. The castaways decide to use it to float to safety...but what hey dont know is that the capsule will self destruct!

Trivia

  • When Ginger is found out trying to stow away on the capsule, she stars her sentences "Would you believe..."? This phrase echoes Agent 86 Maxwell Smart of Get Smart who also stated silly sentences this way.
  • The castaways try to get help three times: first, by sending a weak radio signal which goes through but fails; second, by lighting logs signaling "S.O.S" until as usual Gilligan ruins everything and then three, they try to use the space capsule.
  • When Mr. Howell loses his money and brandy in the botched rescue attempts, he has a temper tantrum.
