Ep 14. Three Million Dollars More or Less

In the fourteenth episode of Gilligan's Island's first season titled "Three Million Dollars More or Less," the castaways find themselves in an unexpected situation. A plane crashes on their island, and aboard the plane is a notorious criminal named Harry Fink who has stolen three million dollars. Fink quickly realizes that the castaways are the only people on the island, and he schemes to get them to help him retrieve the money that he has stashed on the island.

Gilligan and the rest of the crew are initially intrigued by Fink's offer of sharing the money with them, and they attempt to help him find his loot. However, they quickly realize that they are not the only ones on the island looking for the money. A group of thieves shows up on the island, hoping to steal Fink's loot for themselves. The castaways find themselves in the middle of a dangerous situation as they try to protect themselves and the money from the thieves.

Meanwhile, the Howell's butler, Crichton, decides to get in on the action. He steals the map that Fink has drawn to help them find the money and sets off on his own. Crichton's plan backfires, though, when he runs into the thieves who are also looking for the money. In the end, it's up to Gilligan and the rest of the castaways to come up with a plan to save themselves and keep the money out of the thieves' hands.

As always, the humor in this episode is top-notch. The castaways find themselves in a series of comically absurd situations as they try to navigate their way through the dangerous situation they've found themselves in. Gilligan's clumsiness and ineptitude offer some of the episode's biggest laughs, and the antics of the other castaways are just as amusing.

While the episode does feature some tense moments, it's ultimately a lighthearted romp that will leave viewers with a smile on their face. The castaways' unrelenting optimism and sense of humor are infectious, and it's impossible not to root for them as they do their best to outsmart the thieves and keep the money safe.
