Crusoe

Stranded on his island, hoping for rescue, Robinson Crusoe starts recalling how it all started. But he has to concentrate all his attention on an arriving ship, which proves not help but Captain Lynch's pirates. The traps he sets for them prove useful, but he still ends up captured, unlike companion Friday. He's expected to help them find a golden canon, using a map tattooed on a pirate's back.

Robinson denies to the pirates that he knows anything about the treasure and finally escapes by diving off a cliff. Friday believes he rids them of the pirates by attracting a Spanish coast garrison, but their captain teams up with the pirates provided capturing Crusoe also leads to the gold.

Robinson recalls his marital past to explain why his wedding-band is so precious to him. It got lost while helping Friday trying to deal with a tormenting nightmare about a skull, which he believes to be the very one they find. The ritual cave yields a riddle-box, which they solve. It sets them on a treasure hunt-trail which proves perilous but leads to the tomb. There lurks more danger.

Crusoe is hopeful when he sees a ship arrive, but soon discovers captain Taylor and his wife and daughter are captives of thug Jacob Moore's mutineers. Robinson and Friday try to liberate them and Crusoe hopes to get away.

Robinson is hell-bent on risking everything to escape unlike Friday, who wants at all costs to return to England. So he must steal a compass from Will Atkins's mutineers before their ship is repaired and sails away. That proves dangerous, but the lush ship surgeon's apprentice, who catches him, reveals to be a girl in disguise and equally desperate to escape, so they team up.

While setting up traps, Crusoe discovers a long boat on the beach, indicating the cannibals he saved Friday from have returned. They track down the ritual site and evidence it was used again recently. They find the murderous gang and liberate one of their victims. It's none other than their former persecutor, Spanish officer Santos Santana, who claims to be reformed by his companion.

Robinson finds Friday has gone crazy and hostile after being poisoned. He sneaks into the mutineers' camp to consult medical literature and steal a cure but has to do with Olivia's advice and half-hearted help to harvest the herbal antidote. That proves almost as dangerous as forcibly administering it to the berserk patient.

The mutineers have repaired Captain Taylor's ship weeks earlier than Robinson anticipated, so everything must be sped up. His plan to overtake the mutineers' cruel leader Will Atkins was betrayed. Robnson's party escapes and tries again to convince enough men returning to England with Taylor's pardon is better than a proscribed life under Atkins's tyranny.

Robinson's engineering insight triumphs over Friday's in a series of tests which the natives use as initiation rite for warriors. After Friday admits he failed the courage test in a crocodile-infested water, thus disappointing his pa and the whole tribe, Robinson is determined to find a way to 'catch up'. An accident initiates a frightfully twist.

Robinson awakes groggy after fainting but is elated to see his wife Susannah, who explains the ship she came on can carry them home to England. They see Friday is missing and probably wounded. Conversing while searching for him, Robinson's memory returns, arousing the grim realization she can't be real.

Robnson and Friday find themselves the target of a 'count-coup', but realize it's the first move of the Arawak tribe's royal 'Cacique' clan, the most formidable warriors. Adversaries are sent out one by one until the pair is captured and readied for execution on the beach. However Robinson works on the king's obsession with with slavers enough to create a chance of escape.

Friday and Crusoe are out searching for food when a ship's rocket explodes above them. Crusoe and Friday rush to the ship and they are disappointed when they see it retreating. Crusoe sees men struggling to swim to shore off of a capsized boat and he rushes to save one man. After bringing him ashore, Crusoe is surprised to see that it is Mr. Blackthorn.

Jeremiah Blackthorn chases Robinson and Friday over the island, burns the tree-house but fails to spot the document hidden in the Crusoe family Bible which proves the true heir. After singlehandedly beating Nathan West and Samuel Tuffley, Robinson boards the ship. He burns the document in exchange for safe passage home.
