[THEME MUSIC]

- ERNST (VOICEOVER): We. - Have now been shipwrecked.

For over three months.

Life on the island, at

times, is like paradise.

And every member of

the family would gladly

remain as castaways

for a thousand years.

But for the most part,

we all feel trapped.

And the island is almost

like a tropical prison.

Despite our constant

prayers to the dear Lord,

any hope of rescue is fading

with every passing day.

Still we have shelter

and are managing

somehow to survive with the

love and support of each other.

Along with some of

our other friends,

of course, who

are also marooned.

CHRISTINA: That's one for mama.

Thank you, Diana.

One for papa.

Who's was this?

Well, thank you anyway.

[WHINE]

- ERNST (VOICEOVER): We also. - Have concocted an alarm system.

To provide an early

warning against wildlife

along with Parsons and his

reluctant accomplice Ben,

- who unbeknown to us. - Had actually taken.

Refuge on an outer island.

What's all around?

It's bugs.

This place is riddled with them.

They won't do you no harm.

They only bite you.

Why do we have to live here?

Living like wild animals.

We can build a proper

house like the Robinsons.

I told you before.

We ain't staying.

You think I'm going to rot here?

I'm just biding my time.

BEN THOMAS: Seth's

dead, Parsons.

You can't bring him back.

But I can get revenge on

the swine who murdered him.

He was my brother.

- And you're in it. - With me, Ben Thomas.

You swore an oath.

BEN THOMAS: All right.

All right.

But when?

We've been here months,

and we've never moved.

Ah.

That's cunning.

- You wait till your. - Enemy thinks you're.

Gone, and then [SQUISH NOISE].

You can't rush these things.

Besides, revenge

is best taken cold.

We'll go over tonight.

See how the land lies.

Now, go get some fish.

I'm starving.

[CHICKENS SQUAWK]

ERNST (VOICEOVER): While Parsons

and Ben made their plans,

- we had no way of. - Knowing the extent.

Of the danger which lay ahead.

- Even though our alarm. - System had already.

Alerted us that

all was not well.

But what?

At that point, the entire event

remained a mystery to us all.

Charlotte's fine.

- So is Felicity. - CHRISTINA: One.

- Two. - Three.

Four.

- Five. - Six.

- Seven. - Eight.

Nine.

They're all here.

[SNIFFING]

What can you smell, Bruno?

[BARK]

[SHIP CREAKING]

What was it, David?

Nothing we could see.

- All the animals. - Are safe, Mama.

Oh, thank God for that.

Well, since we're all awake,

we may as well begin the day.

- Chores, everyone. - [GROANING]

I have a temperature.

I'm going to lie down.

- [SIGH] Come on. - Let's go.

There's lots to be done.

Let's begin.

Don't be so

concerned, Elizabeth.

It was probably just the

wind that set off the alarm.

Or Parsons.

More likely an animal.

Is there a difference?

- I'm frightened of. - That man, David.

We haven't set eyes

on him for weeks.

He may have just sailed away.

I hope so.

Land ahoy!

Land ahoy!

EMILY: Billy.

Billy.

Billy.

- Yes, Miss Emily. - Where are have you been?

I've been calling you for hours.

- I've been catching. - Worms for bait.

- Do you want to see? - No.

Certainly not.

I finished my breakfast.

You can take it away.

Are you feeling better?

EMILY: No.

I have a fever.

- I want you to fan me. - Until I fall asleep.

BILLY: But I've got to

go fishing with Ernst.

Well, send Christina

here instead.

[SIGH]

Christina, Emily has a fever.

She wants you to go and fan her.

Do I have to?

DAVID: Now, Christina.

Just imagine what you would

feel like if you were ill.

[SQUAWKING] You

know, Mother, I think

I should have been an inventor.

Really, dear?

Absolutely, I know that this

flour mill is going to work.

Just like the irrigation

machine, father?

[SCOFFS] I'll get

that to work too, Ernst.

After all, the Egyptians

didn't invent it in a day.

They had thousands of

years of civilization.

- Ha. - Yes well.

Let's hope we're not going

to be here that long.

- Joanna, put these napkins. - With the rest of the washing,

Will you?

Why do I always have

to do the washing?

I wasn't brought up

to be a scullery maid.

We may be on a desert

island, but we do

have to keep up our standards.

Why can't Emily do it?

She has a fever.

So she says.

Hey, Billy.

Don't feed all the

bait to Mr. Beak.

You ready?

Yes.

JOANNA: Why can't I go fishing?

It isn't fair.

Housework is so tedious.

Fishing isn't exciting either.

I'd much rather be in Boston

fishing for my career.

[CHUCKLE]

You ready, Billy?

Yeah.

Off we go.

Come on, Bruno.

MARY: What is it?

SCAGGS: Well, it

looks like an island?

Which one?

There you have me.

Not on any chart

that I've ever seen.

Me neither.

Well, we need fresh

food and water, Mr. Creel.

Let's see what yon island's

got to offer weary travelers.

You're going to have to

hurry with your grinding

machine, David.

This wheat is ready to cut.

I'd almost forgotten what

real bread tastes like.

You've worked

wonders, Elizabeth.

Well, that was the sun and

rain, and God's good grace.

And my clever,

industrious wife.

Look at these cabbages.

They're magnificent.

They are.

Aren't they?

You know, in all

the years we've been

married I have never

felt closer to you

than I do on this island.

Is that the truth?

Yes.

- Are you really happy? - Yes.

I am happy.

I'm happy, but, uh,

Ernst and Joanna are

going to need more than this.

They're going to have

to mix in society.

And Ernst needs his

career, and Joanna is

soon going to need a husband.

And what are we going to do?

Elizabeth, one day, a

ship will come for us.

Perhaps, sooner than we think.

And then, our lives will

regain their appointed course.

So until that time,

let's enjoy this.

- ERNST (VOICEOVER): My. - Father would often reflect.

On the irony of this sentiment.

This ship we all longed to sight

was also destined to affect

the lives and independence

of Ben and Parsons

far more than they

would ever imagine.

Parsons!

Parsons!

PARSONS: A ship?

Heading for Robinson's island.

We're saved.

We're saved.

Let's light the beacon.

[PANTING]

- Look what we've caught. - DAVID: Oh.

Those are beauties.

ELIZABETH: Can you take the

fish outside please, Billy.

They'll make the house smell.

- Go weigh them with. - The stones, Billy.

I'll record it in my diary.

Oh, those are

magnificent fish.

How shall we prepare them?

Joanna.

Joanna, how would you

like your fish cooked?

Does it matter, Father?

Does anybody know what the

date is the day after tomorrow?

- No. - Why?

ELIZABETH: I confess since

I've been on this island,

I have lost all track of time.

- Well, today is. - The 2nd of July.

So the day after tomorrow is...

The 4th of July.

That's right.

Independence Day?

- This calls for a celebration. - CHRISTINA: A party.

We can have a party.

Can we wear our best dresses?

ELIZABETH: Yes.

Of course.

We can all dress up.

[LAUGHING]

What's going on?

We're going to have a party

to celebrate the 4th of July.

What's the 4th of July?

- It's the day America. - Won their independence.

From England, Billy.

- And we're going. - To have a party.

- We can have a. - Special dinner too.

A special dinner.

We'll have a banquet.

JOANNA: What shall we eat?

We can't have fish.

Oh, that's simple.

- Billy will go catch something. - To match the occasion.

BILLY: Yes.

A wild boar.

I'd settle for a turkey.

DAVID: Yes, Mother.

- Turkey will be much. - Less dangerous.

Come on.

It's damp.

Well, bless my soul.

The Viper.

You know her?

Aye.

You know her all right.

My old pal Joe.

Creel is her mate.

They're buccaneers.

Buccaneers?

You mean pirates?

What about the

others, the Robinsons?

If I know her captain,

he'll slit their throats soon

as look at them.

Well, hadn't we better

try and warn them?

PARSONS: Warn them?

[LAUGH] What for?

Nah.

He'll do our job for us.

- Let's go ahead. - And watch the fun.

[LAUGH]

Mama, look at this.

Do you remember this?

Of course, I remember.

It was your last birthday.

Oh, it's so pretty, Joanna.

Wear that.

Oh, I've worn it before.

Mama, what's this?

Oh, Mama, it's beautiful.

Oh, I want to wear it.

Please, may I wear it?

Oh, Papa, look at this.

Shall I wear it

for our celebration.

It's so beautiful.

Isn't it beautiful?

- Yes. - It is.

It's very beautiful.

- CHRISTINA: Where. - Does it come from?

I've never seen it before.

It's my wedding

gown, Christina.

I'm saving it for Joanna

to wear on her wedding day.

Oh, Mama, please

may I wear it now?

If no one comes to rescue us,

I may never have a wedding day.

Of course, you may wear it.

Oh, thank you, Mama.

Oh.

- Don't squeeze the. - Breath out of me.

[LAUGH]

[BIRD SINGING]

JOE: Give us a hand here.

Feeling a bit weak there, Joe.

Maybe Mary here should

take your place up on deck

as well as down below.

[CHUCKLING]

That seems a might heavy

for an empty water barrel.

Wouldn't you say?

MARY: If it was that

heavy, I'd roll it.

Hm.

So would I. So would I.

[SIGH] Elizabeth,

I'll wager there

won't be a prettier girl in all

of America on the 4th of July.

Papa, look.

Wonderful.

That's excellent.

This is going to be

a great celebration.

- We may not be beside. - Our own hearth or even.

- In our own country, - but we are free.

[TURKEY GOBBLING]

Come on, Billy.

We'll track it down.

Well, now.

Ain't that handy.

Two on their own.

Come on.

Well.

Well.

Well.

What we got here then, Joe?

Hm?

Ain't you ever read your Bible?

Parable of the talents.

You put your money in the

ground, it'll never grow.

[GRUMBLE]

There we are.

Go on, Papa.

- Cut it. - Oh no.

- That honor belongs to. - The one who grew it.

- Oh. - Elizabeth.

Right hand there.

That's right.

By the handle.

All right.

Now then, stand back, everyone.

The only ears we want to see

cut off are ears of wheat, eh?

Hurrah.

[APPLAUSE]

Well done, Elizabeth.

Go again.

Bruno!

Bruno Bruno!

Bruno!

A ship.

A ship.

A ship.

Hello.

Hello.

Don't listen to him.

Don't listen to him, mates.

- He's going to divide. - It up with her.

He'll cut you out.

- I'll cut your. - Throat, Joseph Creel.

There's my old

friend, Joe Creel.

Something's up here.

Sir.

We're glad to see you.

Oh, and how is that

then, young master?

We've been shipwrecked

here this last five months.

We thought a ship

would never come.

Then, it's your

lucky day, sir.

And you're most welcome aboard

my humble vessel, The Viper.

PARSONS: Best to lie low, Ben.

Go back to the island,

and wait till he gone.

We don't want to

mess with Scaggs.

And what about the Robinsons?

Naught you can do for them

now, even if you wanted to.

They're done for.

Come on.

- To your very good. - Health, young sirs.

And yours too, sir.

Where's your manners, Sam?

Eh?

You ain't formally

introduced us.

Oh no worry I have.

Forgive me, young sirs.

We don't have much company.

Captain Samuel Scaggs

at your service.

And this good lady

is Mistress Mary.

Well, uh, my name's

Ernst Robinson.

And this is my friend Billy.

- Delighted to make your. - Acquaintance, ma'am.

Oh.

A real gentlemen.

SCAGGS: Ain't he just.

Not like the little one here.

- A real seafaring. - Man, I'll be bound.

Huh?

Yes, sir.

How long you've been here?

Almost five months, sir.

- And just the two. - Of you were saved.

Oh no.

And our dog Bruno.

He ran after a wild turkey.

Ah.

- Wasn't you about to say. - Something else, young squire?

- Uh. - No, sir.

Just the two of us and a dog.

[LAUGH]

- ERNST (VOICEOVER): It. - Was difficult to tell.

If Captain Scaggs and his

lady friend believed me.

And I wondered how long it

would take for other members

of the family to be discovered.

[BIRD SQUAWKING]

[LAUGHING]

Hold it.

[GUN COCKS]

[LAUGH]

There.

Fasten it well, lads.

Now, young sirs.

A lesson in what happens to

thieves aboard The Viper.

Sir.

Spare me.

Spare me, Captain.

Get him up.

- No. - No.

- For pity's sake. - No.

SCAGGS: Hold him up.

Will ye walk like

a man, Joe Creel.

Or will you be thrown over

like the deceiving dog you are?

- No. - No.

Please.

- Please give me. - Another chance, Sam.

SCAGGS: Captain.

- Give me another. - Chance, Captain.

I beg you.

Another chance?

Yeah.

All right.

Here's your chance.

No.

[SPLASH]

[SCREAM]

- Oh, it goes hard. - On them that try.

And deceive Samuel.

Scaggs, young sirs.

Seize him.

What?

What's going on?

Captain Scaggs, what's going on?

Is this some kind of joke?

- Was it a joke you're. - Playing on Old Sam Scaggs?

- What? - Lying to him.

How many more of you

were saved on the island?

- No, sir. - I didn't.

SCAGGS: No, sir.

I didn't Will you

walk, young sir?

Or will you be thrown over

too like the other lying cur?

Sir, I'm telling the truth.

Just Billy and myself.

SCAGGS: And the dog.

Don't forget the dog.

Yes.

You take me for a fool?

Tell me the truth.

I have.

And I say no.

All right.

These sharks be thin.

On my honor, sir.

I'm telling the truth.

What say you, urchin?

Who else is on the island?

Billy, say nothing.

Well, Billy?

What's it to be?

The truth?

- Or your young master keeping. - Company with the sharks?

- Master Ernst. - ERNST: No, Billy.

Well?

MARY: Out.

Leave him be, Scaggs.

SCAGGS: Eh?

You're scaring a

young gent to death.

But he ain't given in, is he?

No one defies, Sam Scaggs.

Oh, but he will, Sam.

If you push him over, he will

have defied you, won't he?

SCAGGS: And have paid for it.

But he'd still have got the

best of you, wouldn't he, Sam?

Make your point.

Whatever it is he's

hiding we can find.

We're in no hurry, are we?

We're masters of our own time.

MARY: Well then,

let's take the time.

And in the meanwhile, have

him to be your cabin boy.

Him?

- He's never done a. - Day's turn in his life.

[LAUGHING]

MARY: He'll do the work of three

men or break his spirit trying.

[GULLS CAWING]

[LAUGH] Yeah.

- We'll teach him what. - It's like to work.

All right.

No one gets the

better of Sam Scaggs.

By the time we've

finished with him,

he'll wish he had

walked the plank.

Not too much now.

We want to test it first.

- It'll be just fine, Elizabeth. - I'm certain.

- ELIZABETH: Oh yes. - Of course, dear.

It's the Egyptian

type, isn't it?

- Ready? - CHRISTINA: Yes.

Go on, Papa.

Stand back, Christina.

DAVID: Push, Joanna.

Elizabeth, my dear, I shall

make you eat your skepticism.

I'd rather eat

the flour, dear.

[LAUGH]

DAVID: Look there, you see.

It's working.

CHRISTINA: Mama, look.

ELIZABETH: David, well done.

- Tomorrow, we shall have. - Bread for breakfast.

CHRISTINA: Hooray.

[BARKING]

[WHINING]

Bruno, whatever is the matter?

Where are Ernst and Billy.

- Something must have. - Happened to them.

Bruno's trying to tell us.

Now, don't be alarmed.

CHRISTINA: But it's true.

He would never leave them.

Not unless they

were in trouble,

- or he's trying to warn us. - Now, don't everyone get upset.

- I'm sure there's a very. - Simple explanation.

I'll go find them.

I'll go too, Papa.

No, Joanna.

But Papa.

Joanna, you stay here

and help your mother.

Elizabeth, there's a

pistol under our bed.

Yes, David.

But why?

Only a precaution.

I'm certain I'll find

them safe and well.

ELIZABETH: David, be careful.

Come on, Bruno.

[BARK]

- ERNST (VOICEOVER): - As Father set off,

Who could have foreseen the

enormous danger that would

unfold for the entire family?

THEME SONG: Time to go.

A ship is leaving.

No time for breathing.

Life goes on.

When I see we're on

the same side fighting,

then it's time to leave.

Should have known how

the rain was falling.

Now, we love so much more,

'cause that's what life's for.

Get away.

We should get away.

This is the moment that day

by day the world will go away.

With you by my side

I know what is right.

And I will stay with you

if you decide we should.

Get away.

Get away.

Get away from it all.
