While doing work for Mr. Howell, Gilligan falls in a hole and discovers one of the island's valuable resources; meanwhile, the girls are fishing and latch onto a possible way off the island for the castaways.

Ginger is depressed because a play written especially with her in mind for the lead is not going to star her. Gilligan talks Mr. Howell into putting on the play there on the island to see if it is something he would like to produce back home. Then during practice, Mr. Howell looses track of why they are putting on the play and puts Lovey in the lead role instead of Ginger.
