Further details

Using a telescopic lens on a salvaged camera, Douglas believes he has discovered a nearby island that is inhabited and rushes to tell the others. His plan to build a raft shocks Brett, who can't believe he wants to leave the paradise they have created.

Meanwhile, Susan, having been spurned by Douglas, is manipulated by a vengeful Brett and a witch hunt begins. Douglas now stands accused of sexual assault, conveniently scuppering any raft building by having to stand trial for his despicable crimes.

Arnab is recruited by Brett to help seal Douglas' fate but is undeterred in his own plan to build a glider and finally beat Douglas to the other island.

The castaway capers continue as Douglas spies an inhabited island a mere raft-ride away. Brett wants everyone to stay on his idyllic atoll, coaxing a spurned Susan into derailing Douglas's escape plans. With a kangaroo court constructed to keep Douglas contained, it's up to Arnab to save the day.
