[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL TOLLING]

The plane! The plane!

-Good morning, boss. -Good morning, Tattoo.

Smiles, everyone! Smiles!

[BAND PLAYS]

TATTOO: Who's that lady, boss?

MR. ROARKE: Miss Rowena Haversham

of the Kentucky Havershams.

Her family has long been known

for breeding champion racehorses and show jumpers.

Did her accident have anything to do with jumping horses?

She was injured in a fall from a horse

when just a young woman.

Her career of jumping horses had barely begun,

-and suddenly it was all over. -TATTOO: What's her fantasy?

Miss Haversham's fantasy is to be made young again,

so she can have the chance

to win the prize she's always dreamed about,

-the Blue Ribbon. -TATTOO: Oh, that should be a...

A snap.

Sometimes the simplest things, Tattoo,

are not so simple after all.

TATTOO: That guy sure knows what he's doing, boss.

MR. ROARKE: That's the personality

Mr. Danny Clements wants to present to the world, Tattoo.

The truth is, he sees his life as an empty failure.

What's his fantasy, boss?

To turn his life around and make a new start.

TATTOO: Millions of people have that dream, boss.

Yes. But Mr. Clements is willing to gamble...

everything to make his dream a reality.

Everything?

Everything, including his life.

My dear guests, I am Mr. Roarke, your host.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Good boy. Good boy.

It's okay. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy.

Easy, boy. Easy.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Oh, I should be asking you that question.

My wheelchair must have startled your horse.

I should know better. Except my own horses,

they're used to this contraption.

-You have horses? -Oh, yes.

I didn't mean to go...

scaring the daylights out of your horse, though.

What's his name?

Candy Kisses. And I'm Crystal Denning.

Delighted to meet you, Crystal. I'm...

I'm sorry, Crystal, I'm being rude.

-This is Miss Haversham. -CRYSTAL: Haversham?

Are you one of the Kentucky Havershams?

That I am.

CRYSTAL: Well, your horses are famous.

You must have tons of Blue Ribbons.

They've won their share over the years.

Not me, personally.

I almost did once,

but I was in an accident, and I was disqualified.

If I could never ride again,

I don't think I'd ever stop crying.

The only thing worse would be losing Candy Kisses.

You do love your horse, don't you?

More than anything else in the whole world,

except my Uncle Jim.

JIM: You were supposed to meet me, Crystal.

Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Jim,

but I met this nice lady and we got to talking.

Uncle Jim, this is Miss Haversham,

and this is my friend Tattoo.

How do you do? Very pleased to meet you.

-Jim Denning. -You've got a charming niece.

Charming and late.

I'm afraid you'll have to excuse her.

We have an appointment with a prospective buyer.

But, Uncle Jim, Candy Kisses is gonna win this time.

I know it.

You've got an awful lot more confidence in him

than I do, honey. He's never won anything yet.

But that's my fault, not his.

My riding's improved. You said so yourself.

I'm sorry, Crystal, I've made up my mind.

We can't afford to keep a loser, honey.

No Blue Ribbon, no Candy Kisses. This is his last chance.

JIM: Awfully nice meeting you, folks.

-If you'll excuse us, please. -But of course. Goodbye.

-Bye. -Goodbye.

MR. ROARKE: For a man who regards himself as a failure,

you are very relaxed, Mr. Clements.

Well, I'm always relaxed, Mr. Roarke.

That's my problem. You see, I've relaxed myself

right out of every job I've ever held.

Either that or some gorgeous gal comes along

and I get tangled up in her problems

and pretty soon... [SNICKERS] another job down the tubes.

I know the problem.

Anyway, I intend to change all that starting right now.

May I ask, how do you hope to pull it off?

-Pull what off, boss? -Well, Tattoo, you see,

Mr. Clements wants me to help him get inside

one of the most feared island prisons in the world.

One from which no one has ever escaped.

No one ever escaped and you want to go in?

Why?

I want to rescue one of the prisoners.

A man known only as Kodiak.

I've heard he's a double agent with information vital

to the United States government.

A most dangerous undertaking, Mr. Clements.

But the government is willing to pay

a $250,000 reward to whoever breaks Kodiak out.

And I've got a plan.

Everything I need

to pull it off is right here in this duffel bag.

If you could just get me inside, Mr. Roarke,

I'll not only bust Kodiak out,

but I'll buy myself a new start in life.

What will you do if you succeed?

Buy a boat.

Yeah.

Maybe do a little charter work during the tourist season.

Very well. Will you excuse me, Tattoo?

Your destination, Mr. Clements,

a modern-day Devil's Island, deep in the heart

of a revolution-torn foreign power.

The island is located some 300 miles to the southwest.

Now,

take the picture, Mr. Clements.

Look at it very carefully.

Study every detail.

Concentrate, Mr. Clements.

Think of nothing else.

Nothing.

DANNY: Where are we?

Yes, you are now where you wanted to be, Mr. Clements.

-It's the prison. -A prison, yes.

But how?

I mean what...

Mr. Roarke, the big duffel bag, it's vital to my plan.

I'm well aware of that.

Your duffel bag is hidden on the roof of that building,

-ready when you need it. -That's terrific.

How'd I... I mean, how did I get here?

DANNY: Who's she?

MR. ROARKE: Colonel Eva Maldonado,

the prison commandant.

She has a reputation as an accomplished executioner.

And those young ladies with her are her elite guard.

They won't hesitate to shoot you down.

Mr. Roarke...

Oh, boy.

MR. ROARKE: Yes, I understand, Miss Haversham, of course.

But are you absolutely sure that winning the Blue Ribbon

is what you want more than anything else?

When I do that, I will be totally happy.

Except for one thing.

And what is that, may I ask?

The girl I just met, Crystal Denning.

I'm sure you know her.

Yes, I do.

Did you know that her uncle plans to sell her horse?

My dear Miss Haversham, Mr. Denning has a right

to do with Candy Kisses whatever he wishes.

He has been Crystal's guardian

since the unfortunate death of her parents.

Well, raising a child is an expensive proposition.

And if Crystal doesn't win the purse tomorrow,

her uncle will have no choice

but to sell her horse, I'm afraid.

But Crystal won't win tomorrow.

That's what I came here to do.

Yes.

Yes, that is the fantasy you have requested,

and the one I have agreed to give you.

But perhaps, there is no reason to worry.

Mr. Denning is doubtful that his niece

will be able to even qualify for the competition.

[SIGHS] Well, that is a relief.

I wouldn't wanna be responsible for Crystal losing her horse.

Of course. Of course.

Now, when does my fantasy begin?

Very well.

Then...

take this riding crop, Miss Haversham.

Now, grip it tightly.

That's right.

Close your eyes.

Remember your last ride.

Mr. Roarke, no, please.

Close your eyes, Miss Haversham.

Let the memory of that day flow through you.

Concentrate.

Concentrate.

That's right.

No, not the accident.

The joy of riding.

The air rushing through your hair.

Mr. Roarke, I feel like a young woman.

And that is exactly what you are, Miss Haversham.

See for yourself.

[GASPS] Oh, it's true.

-It's true! -Yes, Miss Haversham,

for the next two days, you will be young and strong.

Your injuries do not exist.

And you are able to ride as before, like the wind.

Mr. Roarke, this is the happiest moment in my life.

Follow me. Quickly.

I knew you'd come.

We were told a member of the Freedom Front

would be arriving any day to help us plan our escape.

No, no, no. I don't think I'm the guy you're looking for.

But of course you are. You're obviously not a prisoner.

Well, no, no, I'm not a prisoner,

-but-- -No, it's all right.

We've been expecting you. I'm Gina.

Hi, I'm Danny. Danny.

Um, who's this "we" you keep talking about?

-Come on. I'll show you. -Wait.

Why does this always happen to me?

Mr. Roarke, it feels so wonderful to ride again.

Your form is excellent, Miss Haversham.

-Excellent. -Thank you.

There is only one other rider on Fantasy Island

who can touch you.

And she will be your chief competitor tomorrow,

Crystal Denning.

But you said she wouldn't qualify.

Oh, I beg your pardon, Miss Haversham.

I believe I said her uncle doubted that she would.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Hi, Mr. Roarke, did you hear the great news?

Yes. Congratulations, Miss Denning.

Miss Denning, may I present Miss Rowena Haversham.

Oh, I met another Miss Haversham this morning.

Uh, that... would be my aunt. Please call me Rowena.

Okay. Are you in the competition tomorrow?

Yes, I am.

Uh, how about a little competition right now?

First three obstacles?

Okay. Here goes.

She's good.

I don't like this a bit, Mr. Roarke.

Surely, Miss Haversham,

you want to know the thrill of winning the Blue Ribbon.

You didn't expect it to come to you

without a contest, did you?

-No, of course not. -Of course.

Excellent, Miss Denning. Excellent.

Don't you agree, Miss Haversham?

Yes. You're very good.

Thank you. Your turn.

Whoa, whoa.

Mr. Roarke, she's terrific.

I'll lose for sure.

You must have faith in yourself, Miss Denning.

And in Candy Kisses.

You're going to be hard to beat, Rowena.

Well, I've been at it a little bit longer than you have.

Well, just don't get your hopes up too much.

I'm going to win that Blue Ribbon tomorrow.

Because I have to.

Sorry, Crystal, but not this time.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Roarke.

WOMAN: Who is he?

His name is Danny. He's come to help us escape.

Whoa! Wait a minute. Uh, I didn't say that.

Look, I understand your caution. But please, relax.

We're not criminals.

We're being held hostage

here because of our fathers' politics.

The guerrillas have taken over the government.

I can only take one other person out of here.

I mean, that's the plan.

Then you must change your plan.

-That's impossible. -Or I will call the guards.

-On the other hand... -Yes?

All right. Give me a minute here, I got to re-think this.

First of all, do you know a man called Kodiak?

I can take you to his cell.

Is he important to you?

Well, yeah. In fact, you might say

that everything depends on me seeing him.

Well, I don't understand, but we're forced to trust you.

However, if you should betray us

or try to leave without us I warn you,

one scream will bring the guards and very quick death to you.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]

You're Mr. Denning?

-Yes. -I'm Rowena Haversham.

Oh, are you any relation to the Ms. Haversham I met earlier?

She's a very distinguished-looking

older woman in a wheelchair.

Only distantly. We hardly ever see each other.

Well, beauty must be a family trait.

-Thank you. -May I get you some champagne?

That would be nice.

Then we can get down to business.

Well, I don't know what business I could have with you,

but whatever it is, I think I'm gonna enjoy it tremendously.

I hear you have a horse for sale.

Candy Kisses, I believe.

Not anymore.

You change your mind?

No, I made a deal this afternoon.

At least, I heard a very interesting offer.

I have to give my answer tomorrow,

and I can tell you right now, it'll be yes.

Oh.

Shall we?

Why haven't I seen you before now?

Oh, I've been around.

Crystal and I had quite a workout this afternoon.

Oh, that's how you found out all about Candy Kisses.

Oh, no. She told me nothing at all about your business.

Good.

You know how lovely you look in the moonlight?

Please.

We must talk business.

I want to buy Candy Kisses, and I'm prepared to double

the offer of the other buyer, whatever it is.

-JIM: Why? -ROWENA: I have my reasons.

I want that horse, and money's no object.

It's that simple.

Promise me you won't sell Candy Kisses to anyone but me.

All right, I promise.

Thanks. Both of you.

You promised not to sell Candy Kisses

until after the competition.

And you...

You just pretended to be my friend.

You just did that so you could buy my horse yourself.

Oh, no, Crystal, that's not true.

-I-- -I don't believe you.

I don't believe anybody anymore.

Kodiak's in there.

Great. Gina, you're a doll. Thanks.

-Kodiak? Hey. Hey -What?

It's all right. Hey! It's okay, I'm a friend.

What are you doing in my room, you fool?

I got enough weather balloons on the roof

to airlift you out of this joint.

-Weather balloons? -Yeah.

-You must be crazy. -We're wasting time.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Now, why should Kodiak baby want to leave?

One more step will be into your grave.

Whoever you are, this lady's right.

Besides, this is the only place in the whole world

where I feel safe.

Twenty-four-hour-a-day protection

and companionship.

I'm afraid that you are a very stupid man

because I know who really sent you,

my former associates, the men I betrayed.

They want me out of here so they can stand me

in front of a firing squad.

As you can see,

his fate here is a bit more pleasant.

I shall spend the rest of my life here.

And so shall you.

[ROWENA GASPS]

You shouldn't sneak up on people like that.

I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry about what happened last night.

No more than I.

Please, I would-- I would like you to understand.

When Crystal's parents died, they left her a huge farmhouse,

plenty of acreage for raising horses.

The only problem is, the thing was mortgaged to the hilt.

Oh?

If I don't do something soon, we lose everything.

Now, if Crystal could win that purse today,

I wouldn't sell that horse to anybody.

But that's not going to happen.

She knows deep in her heart

that what you're doing is best for her.

[SIGHS] Rowena, I don't know

if you believe in old-fashioned ideas like love at first sight,

-but-- -No, I don't.

Well, I do. And I think I've fallen in love with you.

Look, I have nothing to offer you right now

except my heart.

I know I can turn that farm into a paying proposition.

And then when I have some kind of future

-to offer you-- -Jim, please, don't.

Look, you don't have to give me an answer right away.

I know we can make it work.

Rowena!

Oh, come now, Mr. Clements,

you must eat to keep up your strength.

You are going to need it.

Mr. Roarke.

Am I glad to see you. [GROANS]

I think I need a new plan.

Are you saying things are not going as you hoped?

You know darn well how they're going. [GROANS]

What do you mean, keep up my strength?

Oh, for the interrogation.

You see, the colonel will demand

to know the names of the men she's convinced hired you.

And she will go to any...

shall we say, extremes to get them.

Mr. Roarke, you got to help me.

Oh, no, no, no, that's out of the question.

You must do it yourself. And think up a new plan.

Improvise.

You know, the old adage is correct.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Think of it.

Improvise, Mr. Clements.

Improvise.

[LAUGHS] I get it. He left the door unlocked.

Mr. Roarke.

Mr. Roarke!

See how he talks to the air? He's delirious.

I told you he needed medical attention.

Here are the keys to the cells.

I took them from the colonel's office.

Gina! Gina, I could kiss you.

As a matter of fact, I think I will.

All right. Um, first of all,

get the other girls out of the cell, all right?

Second,

try to keep from getting shot while we're doing it.

MR. ROARKE: My dear friends,

welcome to these two exciting days

of the Fantasy Island horse show.

As you know,

the winner of today's open hunter competition

will be awarded a Gold Cup,

the coveted Blue Ribbon,

and a purse of $50,000.

We are now ready to begin the competition,

which promises to be a most exciting exhibition. Thank you.

Thank you, boss.

Ladies and gentlemen,

for our first rider,

we're going to have number 17, Mr. King on Beautiful Star.

Crystal, can we talk?

I have nothing to say to you.

But I want you to understand. What you heard last night

is just not what it sounded like.

It doesn't matter because I'm going to win this time.

I've thought about it a lot,

and I have two very important reasons now.

I know one of those reasons is Candy Kisses.

But what's the other one?

I'm going to win that ribbon for your aunt.

-[SIGHS] -I'll have chances

to win lots of Blue Ribbons. And so will you.

But Miss Haversham...

[SIGHS] she'll never win one.

I'm going to win that ribbon and give it to her.

Great. Looks like everything's still here.

Plan B, part two, coming up. Come on.

He must not be allowed to escape.

From my prison? Impossible.

May I remind you, my love, that you once told me

it was impossible for anybody to even get into your prison.

And may I remind you

that you're much easier to love with your mouth closed,

my darling.

In any case,

my elite guard will investigate every possibility.

[APPLAUSE]

MR. ROARKE: And now, today's final contestant,

saluting the judge,

is Miss Rowena Haversham, number 21, on Kentucky Dream.

Mr. Roarke, I sure hope you know your stuff.

[SIGHS]

Miss Haversham leads

with a score of 96.99.

Congratulations, Miss Haversham.

Something wrong?

Yes, there is, and I don't understand it.

I'm going to win the Blue Ribbon.

I've saved Candy Kisses for Crystal.

So why do I feel so rotten?

Perhaps there are more important things in life

than winning.

I just can't rob Crystal of the joy

of saving Candy Kisses herself.

[SIGHS] Mr. Roarke, I want to change my fantasy.

Change your fantasy?

No, I'm afraid that's not possible, Miss Haversham.

However, you should remember that the key to winning,

is in that special riding crop you're carrying.

[HORSE SNORTING]

Of course.

Thanks, Mr. Roarke.

The duffel bag the stranger hid on the roof,

it's missing from my office.

Then he intends to use those balloons to escape.

Now, where do you suppose he intends to escape from?

Right where he hid them in the first place, on the roof.

Exactly.

Here.

[EXHALES] I think you're going to need that.

Let's go.

[GRUNTS]

[WHISPERING] Okay, girls, come on over here. Come on.

I want you to crouch down here and be quiet.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

[WHISPERING] Okay, girls.

[AIR HISSING]

I came here to rescue you.

And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

You see, my future depends on it.

But wait a minute, listen to me.

You don't understand, I don't want to be rescued.

That's a shame. Come on.

-All right, get moving. -I'm not going anywhere.

-Oh, yes, you are. Come on. -Ouch!

Commandant, may I have your sidearm please?

Girls, help them into their harnesses there.

Ah! Make sure they're nice and snug, girls.

Oh, don't worry, I checked the air currents.

In about six hours, you'll be coming down

in United States territory.

What am I going to do with her?

Well now, you haven't had any problem

figuring that out so far.

[GRUNTS]

[ALARM BLARING]

You got us into this mess. Do something quick.

Just what would you suggest, my dear?

Improvise, Kodiak.

Improvise.

Girls, get ready for plan B, part four. Come on.

I think we found our ticket out of here.

Climb aboard, ladies.

Hang on. Here we go.

Good girl, Gina!

Okay, here comes the gate. Keep your heads down.

All right, girls. We made it, we're free!

Crystal.

Oh, it's you.

I thought you'd be getting ready to accept your Blue Ribbon.

Oh, don't be too hard on me.

We train all our lives for this big moment.

And when it finally comes,

naturally we try and do the best we can.

Well, you certainly did your best today.

[ROWENA SIGHS]

Come on. Where's that spirit?

The competition isn't over yet.

Well, it might as well be.

You got the highest score ever awarded in this competition.

Listen, Crystal,

you were right, you know. You are going to win.

What makes you think so?

Because if you really want to win

nothing can stop you.

And you have the two best reasons in the world. Remember?

That doesn't mean anything.

ROWENA: It means everything.

I tell you what.

I'm going to give you my special good luck charm.

Here. Now hold onto this,

and believe with all your heart that you're going to win.

Candy Kisses is counting on you,

and so am I.

You really think I can do it?

Oh, I know you can.

-Come on. -Okay.

Miss Haversham,

that was a most admirable gesture.

Oh, what else could I do?

This means, of course,

that you've lost your chance to win the Blue Ribbon.

Oh, no.

I'll win twice over.

But I'm afraid your fantasy is over, Miss Haversham.

Only the one I came here for, Mr. Roarke.

[APPLAUSE]

MR. ROARKE: Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention please.

I have just been handed the score.

For the first time in the history

of this exciting and difficult event,

the judge has awarded a score...

-of 99.99. -[APPLAUSE]

The winner of today's competition,

ladies and gentlemen,

is Miss Crystal Denning on Candy Kisses.

[CHEERING CONTINUES]

CRYSTAL: We won, Uncle Jim. We won.

You won, sweetheart. You won all the way. [CHUCKLES]

Look at this.

This is yours, Miss Haversham.

Thank you, my child.

May I ask for whom you are looking, Miss Denning?

Oh, just a friend.

I wanted to thank her for lending me

her beautiful riding crop

and giving me the spirit to win.

Well, Mr. Clements, you don't look happy

this bright and cheerful morning.

Well, Gina's father wants her to come home immediately.

So, I guess that leaves good old Boston for me, huh?

Are you sure that's where you're going?

My flight's been changed?

Instead of flying directly back to the mainland,

where a grateful United States government official

would present you your reward,

you will first visit a certain capital city

where a hero's welcome awaits you.

You will be the personal guest of the President.

It's a surprise, darling.

Well, with the trade winds and Mr. Roarke on our side,

how can we lose?

-[CHUCKLES] -You can't.

-Mr. Roarke, thank you. -You're very welcome.

-Bye-bye, Tattoo. -Goodbye.

-Thank you. Bye-bye. -You're very welcome. Goodbye.

How wonderful to see you

out of that wheelchair, Miss Haversham.

These two had to pry me out.

But now that I've made it, there's no stopping me.

Or my partners.

-Partners? -We're going to raise horses,

lots and lots of them.

With the Haversham farm reputation

and a champion like Candy Kisses,

we can't miss.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Roarke.

You're very welcome, Mr. Denning.

-Thank you. Goodbye. -Goodbye, Miss Denning.

Well, what about it, Mr. Roarke?

Will Candy Kisses be a champion?

Does the riding crop have the same power

once it leaves Fantasy Island?

Why, Miss Haversham, the riding crop

has no special powers.

It doesn't? But I...

The real power was in your gesture of love and generosity.

Candy Kisses was always a champion.

Thank you.

Why, Tattoo, what is the matter?

Miss Haversham has her Blue Ribbon,

and with Crystal and Candy Kisses around,

she won't be lonely anymore.

Oh, I was always a sucker for good endings.
