With their supply of fresh water running out, the Skipper and Professor decide that they need to ration water, and all they have is a huge pot. But through the error of Gilligan and the deviousness of those desperate to get even a drop of water, just apply quickly dissipates and desperation takes over. The presence of a friendly frog sends Gilligan on a journey for his water supply, knowing that frog means wet and wet means water, but having already written a letter that he is moving to the other side of the island to prevent any further mishaps, the other castaways are sent into a panic.
There's a little bit of special effects utilized here with a flying hat with a frog underneath it, and the croaks are provided by Mel Blanc who had earlier provided the voice of a parrot. By accident, Gilligan finds a fresh spring, but unfortunately, he's trapped inside the cave and it's difficult to get out. The episode features more reality than the show has already had with the importance of resources discussed in detail. Of course, the little bit of reality is intermixed with typical pratfalls, and that makes for a very entertaining episodes. I don't know though that I'd want to drink the water after Gilligan and later the skipper end up bathing in it.
