- Two Soviet cosmonauts land on the island, way off course from their target. The castaways hope to leave the island with them when they call their submarine, but the cosmonauts have other ideas.
- Walking along the lagoon, The Skipper (Alan Hale Jr), Mr. Howell (Jim Backus), Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer), Ginger (Tina Louise), and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells.) discover two Russian Cosmonauts named Igor (Vincent Beck) and Ivan (Danny Kegla) have crashed on the Island. They see their crash as a chance to be rescued, but there's a lot of mistrust between them. The Professor (Russell Johnson) doesn't trust their arrival as random, and Igor and Ivan don't believe their claims of being stranded. Using a ruse, the Professor takes Gilligan (Bob Denver) to sneak on their craft to use a radio, but Gilligan hangs on a power switch and short-circuits their radio. Although they're caught, the Professor is the only one who can fix the radio so that the Cosmonauts can call for help that the others are stuck on an island. Gilligan, meanwhile, overhears them planning on leaving everyone behind after drinks minus The Professor who has an allergy to alcohol who drinks water instead as a toast to the Russians. Without anyone capable of handling the Russian vodka, Gilligan has to sneak aboard and replace one marked bottle of Vodka with water. The men thereby are able to drink the Cosmonauts into submission, and leave them to be disgraced by their countrymen, but the next morning, Gilligan sets his watch to Manila time, and everyone misses the rescue boat. A few days later, the Castaways learn from the radio that the Russian Space Program has relocated their misplaced capsule to the Black Sea to cover-up their accident.
