[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL TOLLS]

The plane! The plane!

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

- Good morning, boss.
- Good morning, Tattoo.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

Smiles, everyone, smiles!

[POLYNESIAN MUSIC PLAYING]

TATTOO: He looks to
me like a college professor.

ROARKE: Uh, you could
say that, Tattoo. Yes.

Actually Dr. Paul
Todd is a paleontologist

from an eastern university.

A paleoanto what?

He's concerned
with the origins of life.

The lovely young lady
with him is his assistant,

- Miss Elizabeth Drake.
- TATTOO: What's his fantasy?

To find positive proof
that a creature once

existed on this earth...

that was neither man nor animal.

You mean, we're gonna help
him find some kind of missing link?

What he's looking for
is even more strange

and mysterious
than that, Tattoo.

Also,

considerably more dangerous.

That young lady is
Miss Delphine McNab.

For the past three years,

she has been part of
a successful stage act.

Working as assistant
to The Great Zachariah.

The famous magician?

Once I saw him make
an elephant disappear.

Indeed, Tattoo.

Recently the act has
been playing Las Vegas

where Miss McNab met the
young man you see with her,

Mr. Greg Randolph,
a hotel executive.

Her fantasy is for them to
be married on this island,

where she was born.

You mean, she's a
native of Fantasy Island?

A descendant of one of
our oldest families, Tattoo.

Her parents were
dear friends of mine.

Regrettably, I
am not at all sure

that I can grant her fantasy.
There are certain problems.

Then why you let her
come all this way for?

Because I could
not find it in my heart

to refuse her, Tattoo.

You see, she happens
to be... my goddaughter.

My dear guests, I am
Mr. Roarke, your host.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

-[GIGGLING] -Oh,
welcome home, my child!

Child! I can't call
you that any longer.

You have blossomed
into a full-grown woman.

And I'm about to become a
wife. Uncle, I want you to marry us.

As chief magistrate
of the island,

I do, of course,
have that authority.

- Like the captain of a ship.
- Precisely.

[CHUCKLES] How romantic.

Uh, Tattoo, since this is
Mr. Randolph's first visit

to Fantasy Island,
perhaps you would like

to show him around, huh?

Uh, Boss, I thought Miss
McNab would do that.

Uh, well, if you don't mind,
gentlemen, I should like to talk

- to my goddaughter in private.
- Sure, boss.

- See you later.
- This way, Mr. Randolph.

Well, Uncle?

You don't mind me
calling you that, do you?

Godfather somehow
just doesn't seem right

after that Marlon
Brando movie, you know?

[CHUCKLES]

What do you think of my Greg?

He seems like a fine young man.

Bright, earnest and, uh,
very practical, I would say.

Hmm. He's on his way to the top.

The youngest
entertainment manager

the Calvert Hotel
chain ever had.

-Indeed. -Mm-hm.

- Let's sit over there. Hmm?
- Okay.

-About your fantasy. -Mm-hm.

I suggest that, uh,

we begin by consulting
your family papers.

We will need, uh,

your birth
certificate, of course,

and certain other documents.

You will find, uh, your
family Bible over there

on top of that shelf.

-Darn it! I forgot. -Precisely.

What you did was instinctive,
perfectly natural to you.

Must I remind you that you
are not an ordinary mortal?

You have inherited
certain powers known

as the gift of the McNabs.

It's not a gift, it's a curse!

And I don't want it
anymore. I never asked for it.

All I want is to be a
normal, happy wife.

I love Greg very much.

Please help me.

Have you told him about...

-your problem? -Oh, no.

I don't think I could ever
make him understand.

You have to help
me get rid of the gift.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

However, your magic
gift can be controlled.

By concentration,

willpower.

I'm willing to try anything.

Remember... a true, deep love...

can often achieve
more than strength.

Now, I will do all I can
to help you, of course,

but in the final analysis...

only you...

and you alone, can
solve the problem.

[SIGHS]

My theory based on many
years of personal research...

is that somewhere in the
Earth's early development,

there had to be a life-form
structured on an element

other than carbon.

And have your studies
identified that, uh, element?

The most abundant
element in the earth's crust,

next to oxygen, silicon.

I've helped Paul...

[CHUCKLING] Dr. Todd,
organize his material, Mr. Roarke.

Mathematically,

there had to be that
moment in the Earth's history

in some semi-molten stage
when conditions were perfect

for the emergence of
organisms based on silicon.

I see. May I?

A moment of creation.

The sun and the primeval mud

and an unimagined life-form
stirring in a fiery chaos.

A creature fashioned of...

silicon instead of
flesh and blood.

Exactly!

But how do I prove my theory?

Perhaps you will find it here...

on Fantasy Island, Dr. Todd.

Uh, but you must
be aware even here,

that I can only create
the conditions, the, uh,

potential... for what you ask.

I can give no guarantees.

I understand that.

There could also be
great potential danger.

I know that, Mr. Roarke.
But I'm a scientist too.

Danger sometimes
goes with the job.

Very well.

That, uh, mineral specimen you
showed me just now, Miss Drake,

is identical to rocks found

at the northern
tip of this island,

where you and
Dr. Todd will be going.

There are bands of
pure silica in them?

Oh, indeed. May I show you?

This is where the rock
formations are found.

Uh, the area, uh, is volcanic.

The crater here.
You must be careful.

The rock is very
unstable in certain spots.

Also, I must point out to you

that the natives say
the volcano is haunted.

It is taboo to the local people.

Therefore, I regret I
cannot provide you

with any helpers.
I am terribly sorry.

- Oh, I understand. I understand.
- You're very kind.

Uh, you will find all
the supplies you need,

I believe. And, uh, if
you just follow this trail,

you'll be on your way.

Mr. Roarke, again, I thank you.

Thank you.

[PAUL GRUNTS]

[ENGINE REVVING]

Good luck. Ah!

Good luck on your
search for primordial life.

Come and sit
down, Mr. Zachariah.

Please.

Mr. Roarke, how nice to see you.

May I inquire what
brings you here

at this particular time?

Dear Delphie's
wedding, of course.

That's odd.

Uh, she didn't mention
having invited you.

Delphie's the best assistant
I ever had in my magic act.

Oh, I am sure.

And you have no
intention of losing her.

In fact, you came here
to stop the wedding.

On the contrary, my dear fellow.

If you have no objection,
I intend to ask Delphie

to let me have the honor
of giving away the bride.

Mr. Zachariah,

I must insist that
you do not speak

to Miss McNab or Mr. Randolph
before the ceremony.

I will convey your
request to her.

Mr. Zachariah...

I will be most upset

if anyone, for any
reason, in any way...

interfered with my
goddaughter's plans.

Oh, I assure you, I
shan't say a word to her.

Not a word.

PAUL: Boy.

[SIGHING]

[SIGHING] I don't know.

This is not something
I know a lot about.

Did you check the coil wire?

The what?

They always check the coil wire.

Well... Uh.

Well, Elizabeth,

you're absolutely
brilliant. [GRUNTS]

Thank you.

-Paul. -[GRUNTS] Uh-huh?

- Do me a favor.
- Sure, what's that?

Give me a kiss.

[YELPING]

[GROANS]

[SIGHS]

Elizabeth...

- how do you put up with me?
- It's not easy, Professor.

I've been so immersed
in this project,

sometimes I forget
about everything else...

including the woman I love.

- The absent-minded professor.
- Guilty as charged.

But there are two things
I don't forget about.

Number one...

I wouldn't be here
at all without you.

And number two,

you have to be the prettiest
scientist in the world.

-Forgive me? -Forgiven.

[CAR APPROACHING]

Thought you could sneak
off without me, didn't you?

Not a chance.

This is now a
three-man expedition.

Figuratively-speaking,
of course.

[CHUCKLES]

Kyle, I don't know
how you found us,

but as a matter of fact,
we could use your help.

Any objections, Liz?

Would it matter if
I said there were?

[CLEARS THROAT]

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

-She's kidding. -Welcome aboard.

- Yeah. Just like old times.
- Just like old times.

Should be at our destination
about a half an hour.

Okay. You lead, I'll follow.

What's that you're
reading, Uncle?

It's an old almanac.

And according to it,
during the next hours,

you must summon
all your willpower.

Constantly tell yourself,

you're just an
ordinary human being.

- Well, I'll try my best, Uncle.
- Good.

Oh, I, uh, I didn't mean it.

Honest.

Uh, it's like a habit,
an unconscious reflex.

Whenever I'm with
someone I know and I try...

It's a mystery to me

how you have managed
this far to conceal

the true nature of your
unique talents from your fiance.

Well, whenever I slip
up, I just pass it off

as another conjuring trick.

Something I learned
from my boss,

The Great Zachariah,
prince of magic.

I see.

But in the daily
intimacy of marriage,

you will not be
able to hide the truth

very long, will you?

No.

What do I do, Uncle?

Eat it.

[METAL CLANKS]

Looks like Paul is on
to something big, huh?

That's the real reason
you came after us, isn't it?

To steal the credit again?

[METAL CLANKING]

I don't know how
you did it the last time,

but I'm gonna make
sure you don't do it here.

Last time was easy.

Remember all those notes
you transcribed for him

at your apartment?

[METAL CLANKING]

Well, you never asked
for your key back.

So you just let
yourself in one night

when I was working late

and you photographed
what you needed.

I made a big mistake, Kyle.

I just didn't realize
how big until now.

You're vermin!

Yeah.

But lovable.

Remember?

[ELIZABETH GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

[ELIZABETH GRUNTING]

KYLE: Elizabeth!

[KYLE GROANING]

[ELIZABETH GROANING]

[ELIZABETH GROANING]

[ELIZABETH GROANING]

[ELIZABETH SCREAMING]

Elizabeth! Elizabeth!

I'm gonna get Paul.
We'll be right back!

[DOOR BELL RINGING]

Hello, Zachariah.

Madame Clooney.
Pleasure to see you again.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were
playing Vegas this week?

Surely you heard.

Delphine quit my
act to be married!

Married?

You mean she hasn't
invited the dear, old nanny

to the wedding?

-No. -[CAT MEOWS]

I can't understand
what's gotten into the girl.

- Where is she?
- Right here, on the island.

That ungrateful child!

It's worse than you think.

Even now as we talk,

the dear girl is deliberately
and methodically

attempting to rid
herself of the family gift.

No. No, no. She cannot!

You need her the way she is.

Precisely, Madame.

I spoke to Roarke,

and I'm convinced
he's helping her.

If I can't get her back

with her powers
intact and accessible,

my act is finished.

The Great Zachariah
is all washed up.

And there'll be no more
monthly checks for you.

[CAT MEOWS]

Work the cards.

[CLOONEY CHUCKLING]

[LAUGHS]

Here we are.

See, the rocks just
gave way under her.

Any idea how deep the pit is?

I can't tell. It's too dark.
I couldn't even see her.

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth, are you all right?

KYLE: Elizabeth!

I'm going down.

[PAUL PANTS]

[METAL CLANKING]

[PAUL SIGHING]

[STEAM HISSING]

[ELIZABETH GROANS]

PAUL: There she is!

- Elizabeth...
- [ELIZABETH GROANS]

- are you all right?
- [ELIZABETH GROANS]

Are you sure? Come
on. Come on over here.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I think so.

Thank God. [SIGHING]

Look!

Look at this!

Bands of pure silica.

All right,

let's get the
equipment down here

and start work right away.

[RUMBLING]

PAUL: Whoa.

Volcano.

- Mr. Roarke said it was dormant.
- Yeah. It can always wake up.

Look.

[CHET LAUGHING]

Oh! Oh!

Looky here, Madge! Looky here!

-[LAUGHS] -Somebody we know?

Hey, saddle! [LAUGHS]

Remember me?

You remember me!

- Uh, gee, I, uh...
- You don't remember me?

I'm Chet Nolan,

Senior Vice-President of
Calvert Hotels Incorporated.

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

Madge, I want you to
meet a very, very dear friend

of mine, uh, uh...

Greg Randolph.

Greg Randolph. Of course.

- How do you do?
- This is my wife, Madge.

We are celebrating our
wedding anniversary.

- [CHUCKLES] Congratulations.
- Thanks, honey.

This is my fiancée, Delphine.

Oh, you got a great
eye there, partner.

Thank you.

Oh, let's have a
double celebration.

Let me buy the drinks.

Uh, maybe a little later, okay?

Really nice seeing both
of you. Nice to see you.

Come on, Chet.

Come on, you should
get something to eat.

Uh, eat, eat. I came
here to celebrate.

Don't want to feed
my face. [LAUGHS]

-Really a fun couple. -[LAUGHS]

Oh...

- Let's you and I go boogie.
- I'd rather not, Chet.

Ah, you're no fun!

You suit yourself.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, good buddy!

-Hi. -Hey.

Uh, listen, you wouldn't
mind if a Senior Vice-President

danced with your
little Delphine.

- Well, we, uh...
- Uh, well... uh, Greg...

-[LAUGHS] -Uh...

-Thank you, Greg. -Sure.

Don't mind Chet.
He hardly ever drinks.

- [SIGHS] Special occasion.
- Right.

He's gonna be
sorry in the morning.

Oh, that Greg is
such a lucky, lucky kid.

Uh, Mr. Nolan,
you're hurting me.

- Uh, no, no, no, no.
- No, no, you be nice.

I think you've had
too much to drink.

-You be nice. -No.

Come on, let me plant
a little kiss on the bride.

Mr. Nolan...

[DELPHINE SCREAMING]

Get lost!

Oh...

What did I do?

[RUMBLING]

[METAL CLANKING]

PAUL: Hey, Kyle, Liz. Come
here. Take a look at this.

[METAL CLANKING]

My God.

What is it?

I don't know.

Whatever it is,

it's been here entombed
in this solid silica

for million years.

Maybe more.

[CRYING]

Mrs. Nolan?

[WHIMPERS]

Well, what's wrong? What is it?

Chet. I... I can't
find him anywhere.

I'm afraid something
terrible's happened to him.

When was the last
time you saw him?

Dancing with you,
at the restaurant.

Oh, I never should have
let him drink so much.

-It's all my fault. -Oh, please,

don't blame yourself.

He's not used to alcohol.

What you saw previously
wasn't the real Chet.

He's really very
sweet and gentle.

Oh, I've just got to find
that big, beautiful lug.

[MADGE WHIMPERING]

Isn't that Chet over there?

Where?

DELPHINE: Over there.

Chet!

Chet!

Oh, Chet, honey,
are you all right?

Please, Madge, don't shout.

-Oh! -Don't even whisper.

-I got to take the pledge. -Oh!

I swear.

[GROANING]

Oh, oh, poor baby.

[LAUGHS]

Delphine, what in God's
name just happened here?

How did you do that? Do what?

Now it's all going to come out.

Young Randolph will never
go through with the wedding.

He's much too
conservative and ambitious

to hook up with someone
who has special powers.

[RUMBLING]

[SCREAMS]

[GROWLS]

[SQUEAKING]

-[SCREAMING] -[GROWLING]

It's just gorgeous, honey.

Here it is. See?
Right over there.

Here, give me the blanket.

[SIGHS]

All right, Delphine. Come
on, let's have it. [GRUNTS]

- How did you do that back there?
- Do what, darling?

You waved your hand like this.

-I did? -Mr. Nolan...

he just, sort of, materialized.

[SIGHS] Well, how about
some nice fried chicken?

In your act, you
and Zachariah make

all kinds of things
disappear and reappear,

including, for heaven's
sake, an elephant!

Now, that's heavy.

Every time it happens...

you move your hand the same way.

-I do? -Yes, you do.

Well, that's just a mannerism.

What do you want
me to tell you, darling?

That I have all these
mysterious powers?

That I really can do
magic all by myself?

Is that what you'd
like me to tell you?

No.

No, my God, no.

That wouldn't be normal.

I thought so.

Well, the fact is, my love,
that it's just another trick.

And I can't tell you
how it's done because

- it's a professional secret.
- It's a professional secret.

[SIGHS]

You, Madame, are
going to force Delphine

to show her boyfriend,
Greg, what she really is,

and the damage she can do.

After which, the
dear boy will sprint

all the way to Vegas.

ELIZABETH: Paul!

Paul!

What is it, Elizabeth?

The creature...

-What? -It's loose.

Oh, Paul, it's alive.
A silicon creature.

PAUL: Kyle, get her out of here.

No, it's afraid of the sunlight.

Paul, I saw it. It
started toward me.

And when it stepped
into the sun's rays,

it jumped back and
disappeared in the cave.

Do you guys know
what we have here?

It's beyond my wildest dreams.

[GRUNTS] It's not...

[PANTING] It's
not just a theory.

All right. Describe it.
What's its composition?

It's so difficult. [PANTS]

Glossy... I don't know.

Its body refracts
the light somehow.

Wait a minute. Pure silicon,

transformed somehow...

in the fires of the volcano...

and the fusion of the elements.

Beyond comprehension, who knows?

But that creature
exists right now.

Down there.

And we've got no way to k*ll it.

k*ll it?

Kyle, don't you understand?
That thing is elemental.

It's unkillable.

But we are going to
have to immobilize it.

An organic compound,
that would prove useless.

Hydrofluoric acid,
a weak solution,

could neutralize
the silica cells.

Come on, Kyle.

[GRUNTING]

You're sure Mr. Zachariah
isn't angry with me

for breaking up the act?

Well, he insisted that
he had come all this way

hoping that you might
grant him the privilege

of giving away the bride.

Granted. That's
very sweet of him.

May I say you look enchanting.

[CHUCKLING] Thanks.

I wish you'd picked
another word, Uncle.

That's all over, isn't it?

You are sure in your heart...

that you now have
complete control of yourself?

I have the gift
safely locked away.

I know it wasn't easy for you.

But a wish that exists
in the heart and mind...

can always be made
to exist in the world.

Let's proceed with the
ceremony, my goddaughter.

[PIANO PLAYING]

[RUMBLING]

You're gonna have to
get pretty damn close

to that thing for a dart
to penetrate silicon.

That's where you come in, Kyle.

You're to grab that pick
and try to divert his attention.

Liz, I want you out of here.

Oh, no. I'm part of this team.

All right. Just stay close.

[BUBBLING]

Let's get out of here.

That thing could
blow any minute.

Look. The creature walked
across here, so can we.

Come on. Liz, you stay put.

Now, wait a minute!

Look, you're gonna
earn this one, Professor.

That's why I let you come along.

This time we do it together...

we'll take the credit together.

- What are you talking about?
- I know about the last time.

You stole all my data.

I knew the day you
turned your paper

in to the association.

I let it go.

Because I love Liz.

And I knew you would drag
her into what could have been

a very messy situation.

Say that again. The
part about you loving me.

Liz, I always have.

And I always will.

You stay here, okay?

Okay. All right,
now. Come on, Kyle.

We've got to follow
him deeper into the cave.

[SCREAMS]

- PAUL: Elizabeth!
- ELIZABETH: Oh!

-[CREATURE
SQUEAKING] -[g*nshots]

- [CREATURE GROWLS]
- [ELIZABETH SCREAMS]

[SCREAMS]

-[ELIZABETH
SCREAMING] -It is unkillable!

[SCREAMING]

No! Don't throw the
pick! Don't throw the pick!

Rocks.

We've got to get
him to drop Liz.

Make him go for us.

ELIZABETH: Put me down!

[ELIZABETH SCREAMING]

Let me go!

[CREATURE GROWLS]

[GROWLS]

There's got to be
a vulnerable spot.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

[GROWLS]

[SCREECHING]

PAUL: Elizabeth!

You all right?

Lord of the creation.

Last of his kind.

But you're all right.

That's all that matters.

[SIGHS]

ROARKE: And if anyone
here can show just cause

why this man and woman

may not lawfully
be joined together,

let him speak,

or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.

I will speak!

Clooney, how
nice of you to come.

I raised that girl.

I was her nursemaid.

I can tell you she
is a sorceress.

A what?

She is the source...

the custodian of
a magical force...

passed down from her family,

the gift of the McNabs!

She deliberately and flagrantly
deceived this young man.

Hidden from him her powers.

Roarke, I call upon
you to denounce her

-and stop the marriage! -No!

I love him.

It's true.

I can't marry you, Greg.

I can't get this
thing under control.

I told uncle this isn't a
gift, it's a family curse.

You are wrong, my dear.

You can control it.

This, for once,
was not your doing.

Oh, you had the
thought in your heart,

but someone else
performed the deed.

Mr. Zachariah.

Come now, my dear fellow.
I'm just a stage illusionist.

I do tricks, but I have
no special powers.

Precisely.

For years you have used
Miss McNab's special powers

to perform all kinds
of astounding tricks,

which none of your stage
rivals could duplicate.

But now, without those powers,
you were forced to conjure up

a somewhat spectacular,
if routine, illusion.

Come out of the bushes, Clooney.

If only I had known...

I would never
have run out on you.

So... consider yourself fired.

Miss McNab has self-control.

She earned it by
supreme effort of willpower

and a profound love for you.

You're a very fortunate
young man, Mr. Randolph.

With such a wife,

there is no telling how much
you can accomplish in life.

Shall we, uh, continue
with the ceremony?

[SIGHS]

Continue by all
means, Mr. Roarke.

And now, uh...

where was I?

Boss, why don't you
start at the beginning?

Weddings turn me on.

[ALL LAUGH]

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

[POLYNESIAN MUSIC PLAYING]

Mr. Roarke...

we would like to
thank you for your help.

I am only sorry that you
lost the greatest scientific

discovery of
your life, Dr. Todd.

It's all right.

I've found something
even more important.

If only we could have
communicated with the creature.

It was million years beyond
its own time, Miss Drake.

It belonged to the
fire that created it.

Uh, Dr. Todd, where
is your colleague,

- Dr. Mason?
- Oh, he's taking a later flight.

Two is company.

Boss, I'm not gonna
say three is a crowd.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- Thank you.
- You're very welcome, Dr. Todd.

-Goodbye. -Bye, Miss Drake.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

I've learned two important
things, Mr. Roarke.

That strength of character
is a lot more important

than conforming,
and that my wife

is even more special
than I ever thought.

There's so much to
thank you for, Uncle.

You've given me self-discipline,
control over my own life.

I am very happy for both of
you, Mr. And Mrs. Randolph.

My dear, your parents
will be proud of you.

Don't be afraid to use the
gift they bequeathed you.

- But you said...
- When it can achieve something

truly worthwhile.

The world needs all
the magic it can get.

That's right.

Good-bye, Mr. Roarke.

-Good-bye. -Good-bye, best man.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

[GIRLS GIGGLE]

Boss, what's going to
happen to Mr. Zachariah?

Uh, the prince of magic
has officially announced

his retirement, and
at the same time

found himself a new partner.

A new partner? I
don't get it, boss.

He is now half-owner
in a small local business.

Oh!

- Madame Clooney's...
- Madame Clooney's...

- Curio Shop. - ...Curio Shop.

-Yes! -That's right.

[LAUGHS]
