Gilligan and Mary Anne put a message in a bottle and throw it out to sea. They later hear on the radio the bottle has been found by shipping tycoon Horris Hickinbottom, who happens to be an old flame of Marry Anne’s.

Mary Anne becomes despondent with the news that Horris is now happily married while she struggles for survival on the island. Ginger advises her the only way to get over a man is to get another man.

Ginger begins secretly ‘training’ Gilligan, the Skipper and the Professor on the finer points of charm and seduction.

Eventually Mary Anne learns the truth of why the men are being so nice to her. She declares she is now over Horris and that he was kind of a creep anyway.
