Ginger (Tina Louise) is down in the dumps because she has missed a chance to star on Broadway. Hoping to cheer up the morose movie star, Mr. Howell (Jim Backus) gathers together the rest of the castaways to stage a decidedly off-off-Broadway production of "Cleopatra." Naturally, Ginger is chosen to play the leading role--that is, until Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer) decides that she wants to portray the Queen of the Nile herself. (See if you can recognize the voice of the parrot in the final scene).
