Transcript

Seven young people shipwrecked on a mysterious island. The island was deserted, not even birds or animals dared to come here. What did they find? See, we eat fish and turtle eggs. Anything we can eat.

As well as snakes and lizards. Just let me finish. There's a lot of grass growing around here. You can eat the roots. You can eat the roots of a lot of plants here. Never thought of that, did you?

They were driven to the edge of starvation. Food was scarce, and they were forbidden to eat the mushrooms that grew on the island. Fear and hunger turned them against each other. But Tango will help me live.

I haven't been hungry since I left the ship. Maybe. Or help me. Help me. Can't eat the mushrooms now? That would really be the end of this. A hoorable mushroom. Matungo the vegetable monster. Can they escape the dreaded matungo?

You'll find out when you see... Matungo! You are about to see a preview of the most fantastic advance ever to be made in the history of the world.
