Robinson Crusoe meets Friday on a desert island and adopts him as his valet. While fishing, a pelican catches all the fish Robinson catches as the latter throws them towards his creel. Crusoe loses his temper, chases the thieving bird into a hollow log and catches ... a skunk. Later, Friday attempts to cook some pancakes, but uses gunpowder instead of baking powder, and the meal is blown sky-high. Attacked by cannibals, Crusoe and Friday manage to hold them off. Friday throws his spear through the nose rings of a line of cannibals, holding them in position until he binds up the lot. The cannibal chief and his warriors being held captive, Crusoe and Friday manage to rescue a captive white girl from the chief's hut.
