Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Isn't it amazing that, whenever the Castaways turn on the radio, they invariably hear a news bulletin pertaining to them? On this episode, a radio newscaster announces that the Marine Board of Inquiry has concluded that the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.)--and the Skipper alone--was responsible for the loss of the Minnow and its passengers. Facing a court-martial in absentia, the hapless Skipper places his fate in the hands of the Castaways, who meticulously re-enact the events leading up to the shipwreck in hopes of preventing the "old salt" from ending it all.
