Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Upset that the male castaways have reneged on their promise to build them separate shelters, the women go on strike and move to the other side of the island. It quickly becomes obvious that the menfolk are helpless without the ladies, but they don't want to admit it. Hoping to scare the girls into returning to the men's side of the island, Gilligan (Bob Denver) and the Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) disguise themselves as a dragonlike monstrosity. (Can it be that this episode inspired all those enigmatic "island beasts" in the much-later, much-more-serious TV series Lost?)
