Although there are rules and regulations on the Island, they don't mean much without proper enforcement. Conceding this point, the Castaways elect Gilligan (Bob Denver) as the local deputy sheriff. Unfortunately, Gilligan proves to be almost as anal-retentive as that other celebrated deputy Barney Fife, and before long everyone on the Island has been thrown into jail because of various ridiculous legal infractions--many of them made up by Gilligan as he goes along!
