What happens

The Gregory party is nearly home after escaping the Euclideans, sailing into harbor at night with Captain Bradford and Johnson. A Euclidean plane circles overhead and sprays the small boat with a liquid, leaving its occupants unable to move. Johnson, Mrs. Gregory, Joan and Jerry must wait as the magnetic effect slowly fades. Joan explains that the bombs dropped nearby will keep releasing fresh magnetism into the water, so the party cannot simply drift free. The episode is from the Magic Island series, which follows the Gregory family's adventures. The episode is part of the Magic Island series. The story is still unfolding when this part ends.

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.
