The Colonel hears the boys reading about a desert island that contains treasure and gets himself radioed to the nearest ship from which he sails to the island in a bottle. The cannibal chief tries very hard to cook him but the Colonel escapes and dives off a cliff only to be swallowed by a fish which after a supposed lapse of time is caught by the artist and his friend who are on a vacation. They are much surprised to see the Colonel and hear about his adventures. Written by
