Richard Wilson plays Robinson Crusoe in an irreverent re-boot of Daniel Defoe's classic. After cheating their captain of the ship's treasure, a couple of sailors go into hiding on a deserted island. Their plans to lay low are rumbled when they're discovered by a long-forgotten castaway and his Spanish manservant.
