- The castaways are scared that a group of gangsters are on the island, but it turns out just to be a parrot who also squawks wildly when he hears the words "boat" and "jewel."
- While collecting wood with the Skipper, (Alan Hale Jr) Gilligan (Bob Denver) hears voices from the jungle that convinces him there are others on the Island. He brings the Skipper to hear them with him, and they rush back to camp to tell the Professor (Russell Johnson) and the Howells (Jim Backus) about the voice. The Professor thinks it might be gangsters hiding out on the island, and the men go looking for them. However, Gilligan gets sent back because his nose whistles when he gets scared. He helps the girls set a trap, but it only catches the Skipper. Afterward, Gilligan and the Skipper return to catch up with the Professor and Mr. Howell, getting in a scuffle as they mistake each other for the gangsters. Hearing the voices coming from a cave, they retreat back for camp where Ginger remembers a movie where bodies were used to simulate an army. The castaways use the Howell's clothes to create dummies to hide their numbers, but as the voices get closer, it's discovered the voices are coming from a parrot. His name is Sam (Mel Balanc), and the Professor believes he's repeating the dialogue from real gangsters. When they try to coax more answers from Sam, it's discovered that he reacts to the word "boat," but Mr. Howell discovers he also reacts to the word "jewels." Hoping to find the gangster's stash, he spirits Sam back to his hut where he and Mrs. Howell question him in person. In trying to get him to identify the type of jewels, Sam clamps down on a diamond with his beak and gets loose in the hut, hiding in a basket. By now, Gilligan and Ginger (Tina Louise) have arrived to help, but Mr. Howell sends them off with the basket to re-catch Sam, not knowing he's in the basket. They soon discover Sam in the basket along with the big diamond he absconded with and discover he reacts to the word "jewels." As Sam wanders the island back to the cave, everyone follows behind him. Sam takes them back to an undiscovered cave with the relics of the gangsters still in it along with the 1906 Chronicle newspaper reporting their robbery. Sam, however, digs up an old box of crackers he's been wanting. That night, Gilligan has made Sam into a pet has been feeding him the crackers. As he tries to sleep, he dumps the whole box into Sam's cage to get some rest, but just as he gets into his hammock, Sam reports that he's thirsty.
