(calm music)

- Another day. Every morning I wake up

wishin' I was off this island.

There must be a way out.

Hey, Tommy!

- Hmm? Oh, yeah!

I'm afraid I slept very late today, Mister Morton.

- Don't worry about it, Tommy.

There's not much of anything to do

on this deserted island anyway.

There aren't any jobs we gotta finish.

- Would you like some water?

- Uh huh, I'm thirsty.

- Right away!

(birds tweet)

- Oh, how's Tam Tam doing, have you seen him?

- I expect he's busy doing all Mister Morton's work for him.

I bet he did most of it even before Mister Morton was hurt.

- He lets Tam Tam do so much

because he's smarter than everyone else.

- Mhm, Tam Tam is very talented.

He's been forced to fend for himself since he was a child.

People like ourselves who spent most of our lives

living in civilization have been spoiled, I'm afraid.

We could learn a great deal from a boy like Tam Tam.

- Mhm!

Tam Tam promised that he'd help me

learn how to throw a boomerang!

- He's gonna help me catch an ostrich!

- You don't mean it, you don't really

wanna capture an ostrich?

- Mhm!

(ostrich squawks)

- Here.

(grunts and loudly gulps the water)

- [Morton] This water fresh? - [Tam Tam] Mhm.

- Did you draw this water and bring it straight back?

- Mhm, I just filled it.

- I believe you Tommy, but taste it!

- Huh? That's strange.

Huh? It's so warm.

- Better show me where you found it.

- I found it in here Mister Morton.

- Hm? Hmm.

- Right over here.

- Hmm, interesting.

There's something strange here!

Where's this water coming from?

(Tam Tam makes I don't know noise)

Hmm? So, over there.

All right then.

Guess I'll have to get wet.

(grunts)

Ah, just as I suspected.

It feels like a hot spring!

- Huh? Oh!

- Hmm, hotter still!

This doesn't look good at all.

We may be in more danger than we ever thought!

What we have here, Tommy, is what appears

to be an old, extinct volcano.

However, appearances often can be quite deceiving.

- [Tam Tam] Hm? - [Morton] When the water near

a volcano feels as warm as this does,

there's plenty to be worried about!

Something's happening underground.

I wanna go take a closer look around out there.

You stay with the Robinsons until I come back to the cave.

Let's get going, now.

I'll walk over there with you.

- Do you like the Robinsons?

- Hmm, they're not too bad,

as long as they keep their distance!

- Plus six makes 10. (sighs)

If I'd been really smart, I'd have stayed in the cave.

- How come?

- No one expects you to do school work

when you live in a cave!

- If you spent more time studying and less complaining,

you'd be finished with all your work

and have time left over for playing.

- Right, we're doing it.

- A, B, C, D!

- Here we are.

Hmm, I must admit this treehouse

isn't bad work for a doctor.

Call up and see if anybody's home,

will you Tommy?

- Hello! Anyone home?

- [Becca] Hm? Tam Tam is here! - [Jack] Hurray!

- Wait, Becca!

- He brought Mister Morton with him.

- The ostrich!

- [Becca] Tam Tam, hi! - [Jack] Hi Tam Tam, hi!

- Hm, there's no one here but the peewees!

(grunts)

(ostrich squawks)

- Hey, come here you crazy ostrich!

You're making me mad!

(dog barks)

- Oh, the ostrich ran back into the forest!

- Hey, come and help Tommy catch that bird, will ya?

- Right!

- Wait Jack, I'll go next.

(grunts) - I'm coming Tam Tam!

- Wait up, Becca!

- Gonna capture that ostrich, are ya?

- Yeah!

- Mhm! (grunts)

- [Becca] What we didn't realize at the time

was that Mister Morton planned the ostrich escape

so he could invite himself into our home.

- They've made it nice and shipshape all right.

Hmm.

Even got them doin' fancy book work.

Aha, what's this!

(chuckles)

They've practically got an armory!

All I need's one.

Here they are.

Three a piece is more than fair.

Hmm? What's this?

(grunts)

Hmm, that'll come in handy.

Hm, where's that go?

Very clever folks!

(grunts)

Hmm, hm. What have we here?

(grunts) Hmm?

(chomps on the food)

Doesn't taste too bad, eh!

I'll take this too.

- [Voiceover] Careful Tam Tam!

- [Voiceover] It's all right, I've got it.

- [Voiceover] We caught it, we caught it!

- [Voiceover] Watch out Jack, you're in the way.

- Hmm? I timed that real close!

- [Jack] Hurray for us!

- [Voiceover] Jack please settle down, you're scaring him.

- [Voiceover] I am not!

(ostrich squawks)

- Hm, I wish Mister Morton could've seen how we caught it.

- Guess he had some other things to take care of.

- [Jack] Hey Tam Tam - [Tam Tam] Hm?

- Do you want to help me do my letters?

- That's a good idea, Jack.

- Hm? Now that's funny.

(Jack laughs)

You marked them!

- These are called alphabet blocks.

I'm learning to spell using all the letters.

[Jack] Wanna help? - [Tam Tam] Hm?

- Um, you ever been to school?

- Mm-mm.

- Would you like to be taught

about letters and numbers like us?

- Mmhm.

- Well that's simple enough.

We'd be very happy to help, right?

- Mhm! You could come every day and study.

- Mmhm.

(grunts) - Hmm.

(pensive music)

I wish I could see what's happening under there.

I'm mighty curious to know

if this thing's planning to blow its top.

I'm betting it will, and something tells me

it won't be long before it happens. Hm!

(pensive music)

One thing I can be sure of.

No one on the island will survive it.

(grunts)

(pensive music)

Mmhm.

There we go! I knew this would come in handy.

(pensive music)

Ahhh.

(pensive music)

(grunts and exhales)

What a miserable fix I've drifted into this time.

That Robinson family's too easygoing

for their own good, heh!

- Now then, somehow we've gone

from three rifles to two.

- Well I certainly didn't take one.

- Me either, dad.

- Not me, cross my heart!

- [Ernst] Hmm, mhm. - [Jack] Really I didn't!

- [Becca] This is mysterious.

- Was anybody up here aside from you?

- Sorta, but I don't think

- Earlier this morning Tam Tam was here.

- Tam Tam was?

Mm-mm, I have a hard time imagining him

taking something that didn't belong to him.

And you're quite positive no one else was here?

- Oh yes, he was here to visit, and...

- Oh! Yeah!

- Mister Morton was here!

- Hm? Mister Morton was here? Ah.

- But he stayed down on the ground

the whole time he was here.

- When we were chasing Tam Tam's ostrich

Mister Morton didn't come with us!

- Mhm?

- Do you suppose he could be that impolite?

- That's all right, we have three, so one is extra.

Only Fritz and you ever actually shoot the rifles, dad.

- Mmh, now that's a very good point.

Actually, I'd thought about giving Mister Morton a rifle,

but we don't have enough ammunition.

As it is, he's left us with only three bullets

of the six that we had.

The plan was to save all of the bullets from now on.

They're for emergencies.

- [Anna] Ernst! - [Ernst] Hm?

- Some of the dried fish we had stored has been taken!

It's been moved somewhere!

- Probably.

- Does that mean you're not sure?

How could a bunch of dried fish get up and move?

- Hmm.

- No, mother, the fish were taken,

as well as bullets and a gun!

We believe Mister Morton has stolen things from us.

- Oh!

- This sky should mean good sailin' weather.

Hmm! Not a swell in sight.

Water's as calm and clear as a mirror.

Yeah, looks like it's gonna be

another clear day tomorrow!

Hmm?

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! What's this?

Those Robinsons keep pretty busy,

pretty good workmanship, not bad at all.

(grunts)

Yessirree, I'd say this little boat is solid!

Mmhm!

(night birds tweet)

(Tam Tam slurps)

Hmm.

- Mister Morton!

- Hm?

- Food's getting cold.

- Oh yeah, sure.

(smacking noisily)

- [Tam Tam] Hmm? - [Morton] Hm? Oh.

(somber music)

[Morton] Tommy? - [Tam Tam] Hm?

- All things bein' equal, what do you think

of the Robinson folk?

- I like them.

- They treat you very kindly and all that?

- They've been very kind.

- Good. You stick with them.

(somber music)

- [Voiceover] Tam Tam didn't know what Mister Morton meant

but he didn't like the sound of it.

Tam Tam trusts Mister Morton totally,

but I have to admit I'm not very sure of him

especially since he stole our gun and dried fish.

As far as I'm concerned, he's acting very suspicious.

(snores)

- Hm? (grunts)

- [Becca] There may be nothing at all to it

but I sure wish I knew what Mister Morton was up to!

(Tam Tam breathes quietly)

- Hm. Sleep tight, Tommy.

Well, not bad.

Some of the food he gathered'll be all right,

but not all of it, I'll need to get more.

Some dried fish'd sure help on this long sea voyage.

(somber music)

Hmm, well, goodbye Tommy.

(somber music)

- [Voiceover] Yes, sometimes I wonder

if Mister Morton can be trusted at all.

(birds tweet)

- [Anna] Eat up now, Jack.

(Becca and Fritz chew noisily)

- Do you plan on speaking to Mister Morton today, dad?

- Yes, I'm going over to see him right after breakfast.

- Can I come?

- And me!

- Nobody else, Jack, just your father.

He and Mister Morton must speak privately.

- [Voiceover] Mister Morton!

- Huh? Tam Tam seems upset.

(panting)

- What's the problem, Tam Tam?

- He's gone away!

- Who, Mister Morton?

- He might have just gone for a walk.

- He left!

- Relax, when did you last see him?

- Well, I haven't seen Mister Morton since yesterday/

He's in trouble!

- Steady, now.

- He might have just gone hunting.

He borrowed a rifle yesterday.

- Mister Morton will return, I'm certain of it.

- Sit down, Tam Tam.

Have some breakfast while you're waiting for Mister Morton.

(birds tweet)

Ernst, where do you suppose Mister Morton

really went without telling Tam Tam?

- I can't begin to guess, I just hope

he hasn't met with an accident.

- I feel sorry for Tam Tam,

Mister Morton has the poor boy worried sick!

- [Voiceover] He looks like a hungry ostrich to me!

- He's probably the hungriest ostrich

in the whole world! Right?

- Yeah!

- Hi ostrich! We brought you nuts, see?

- There you go.

- Hah!

- Huh? His beak's amazing!

- Tam Tam's lucky to have such a great pet.

Hey Tam Tam, could we have a ride

on your ostrich after he finishes eating?

- Say yes!

- Hm? Mmhm.

- Don't be sad, I bet you he just went hunting

and that he'll come back for you real soon!

- Mhm.

- Hmm, that's quite strange.

Huh? Oh!

Ernst, I was checking the corn

and it appears many of the ripest have been picked!

- They've been picked?

- Yes, but only the highest ones were taken.

- The high ones? It's a man.

An animal can't reach.

- And I'm afraid we know which man it was.

- Mother, father, quick!

(panting)

- Oh my word, what's going on, Ernst? Oh!

- What's the matter, what's all the shouting about, Fritz?

- Our boat's been taken!

- Huh?

- The canoe's been dragged away!

If you look at the sand you can see the marks!

- What?

- [Fritz] It was him! - [Ernst] Hmm.

- It must've been that Mister Morton.

He takes our rifle, then our canoe!

- Are you positive?

- Yes, it had to be him, dad!

Becca, Jack, and Tam Tam are playing.

It couldn't've been one of them.

The man's a thief, we just have to face it.

I'm afraid he can't be trusted.

- What sort of man have we been marooned with, I wonder?

(pensive music)

- I don't suppose he went too far.

It's only a little canoe, after all.

Hm, odd.

Hmm, I didn't imagine he'd have gone

this far from the shore.

There he is! Now that's strange.

Hm. He seems to be a sail.

What on earth could he be planning?

- There's a good stiff breeze,

that oughta keep me runnin'!

Hmm.

(exhales)

I'll bet the Robinsons are squawkin' quite a bit by now.

They've built a pretty fair little skiff here.

I better rest up, got a long voyage.

I wonder how long this food'll hold out?

Hmmm.

(water splashes)

- He was heading straight out when I saw him last.

- Can you see him at all?

- Not a sign of him, Becca.

- Well he had a bit of a breeze,

I'd imagine he's pretty far out by now.

- I can't believe he's gone!

(sad music)

- [Voiceover] Mister Morton is gone, all right.

But it's not him I'm worried about so much, it's Tam Tam.

He just can't believe that Mister Morton would go

and not take him!

- Just where on earth does he think he's going?

- He just wanted to get away, that's all.

He doesn't care a lot about anybody else

except himself, that's sure obvious.

- But how far can a man possibly sail

in a tiny boat like that?

- Well, if the sea stays calm and Mister Morton

keeps the boat afloat, quite far.

I suppose he could make it all the way to Australia.

- I bet he'll be eating our dried fish

and shooting our rifle the whole time.

- Eating our corn, and laughing

at what foolish people the Robinsons are!

- I'll never pardon him, he's gone to Australia

leaving us all behind without even a boat!

We worked on that canoe for a month!

- That type of person gets justice eventually.

We sow what we reap.

We should be grateful he's out

of our midst and forget about him.

- Wait, let's not be too hasty.

Although there is a slight chance

he could get to Australia, Morton is not a fool.

It may be that he's going to be gone

only a short time.

He may just be checking the outlying waters and reefs,

then heading straight back.

He might well return in time for dinner,

and then imagine how foolish we'll all feel.

- I find it difficult to think well of him, father.

- Yes. But sailors can sometimes act rough.

It doesn't mean that they're untrustworthy,

they simply have a different way

of behaving with people than we do.

I'd prefer not to judge Mister Morton yet.

There may be a reason for what he's done.

- I guess you're right, but I find it hard to forgive him.

He just took our boat without asking.

- Even worse, he abandoned Tam Tam

without even saying a word!

(fire crackles)

- Me, Jack, dad...

- Becca, is Tam Tam here?

- No mother, he's waiting in the cave

'til Mister Morton comes back.

- What? We can't let that young boy

stay there all alone!

- No sign of Mister Morton.

- Couldn't he just sneak ashore?

- We'd still know.

When he returns Tam Tam will tell us.

- It's wrong! A young boy like Tam Tam

shouldn't be alone in a cave, he should stay with us

until Mister Morton returns.

- Mmh, you're right.

- Let me help you bring him!

- Tell him we're inviting him for dinner.

- Mhm!

(ostrich squawks)

(Becca pants) Hey Tam Tam, it's us!

Hm, hmmm.

(pants) Hey! Tam Tam where are you?

- Hmm? That's odd.

- Tam Tam where are you? It's me, Becca!

Tam Tam, come on out!

- No sign of him having eaten.

- Dad! I can't find Tam Tam.

- I think I know where he's gone.

- Oh?

(waves crash)

Father guess right about where Tam Tam was,

waiting on the shore for Mister Morton.

The rest of us may not think much of Mister Morton,

but poor Tam Tam must miss him something awful!

(sad music)

(sniffs)

- He forgot me.

(sad music)

- Hey Tam Tam, we've been looking for you.

(pants)

We were starting to get worried.

(sniffles)

Tam Tam, would you care to join us for dinner?

- My wife is making a lovely supper,

and she'd love for you to come.

Unless you have other plans?

- Come on, please come along.

Oh! Are you hungry? I feel starved.

You shouldn't worry, Mister Morton will find you.

- True, yes. Becca's right.

If he comes back tonight, he'll find you at our house.

- He probably got tired of sailing

and decided to sleep on the boat.

- Good point, he might be tired.

After all, sailing a boat by yourself is hard.

But the sea's incredibly calm.

You should probably get a good night sleep

and be ready to greet him in the morning.

(suspenseful music)

- [Voiceover] Dad told Tam Tam

that Mister Morton'll come back,

but I'm not so sure, and I don't think

dad is so sure anymore either.

- Oh? Ohh.

- [Voiceover] There's only one thing I know for sure,

and that's that Tam Tam's heart is broken.

And that somewhere in the middle of the huge ocean,

Mister Morton is sailing in a tiny canoe.

At least I hope he's still in the canoe!
