Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) shows signs of losing his strength, the Professor (Russell Johnson) concludes that the Castaways are seriously deficient in Vitamin C. Alas, there is only a handful of orange seeds left on the island, which Gilligan (Bob Denver) is assigned to guard throughout the night. Inevitably, our hero falls asleep at his post, leading to a surrealistic "Jack and the Beanstalk" nightmare in which the Skipper is cast as the Giant! Incidentally, the "Little Gilligan" in the dream sequence is played by Patrick Denver, the real-life son of series star Bob Denver.
