What happens
Jerry Hall and Mrs. Patricia Gregory's crew, aboard the Gregory yacht, are held at a pier on Euclidea, the Magic Island, where Johnson's boat is also tied up. The party plans an escape, using two advantages the Euclidians do not know about. Jerry and Joan have already talked with a Euclidean submarine commander, who chose to let the gas overcome her so she would appear innocent. Captain Bradford and Mac, posing as Johnson, decide to move the oil into Johnson's boat, with a power saw running on deck to cover the noise of the pumps. Mrs. Gregory keeps the radio going, sending calls for help to make the Euclidians think the party is desperate. The series is Magic Island, and this episode's air date and cast are not given in the transcript.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
