An empty space capsule washes up on shore of the Island, whereupon the Castaways prepare to use the craft to fly back home--or at the very least, make contact with a pair of orbiting astronauts. Complications in this episode include the fact that the capsule can only accommodate two passengers, and a makeshift telegraph machine which fails to work when needed most. And let's not forget the Castaways' attempt to alert the in-flight astronauts with a burning "S.O.S." made of logs (too bad Gilligan [Bob Denver] can't spell!)
