- The rock band "The Mosquitoes" arrive on the island for some much-needed R&R. But the castaways try to make their lives miserable so they'll want to leave--and take them with them.
- The Skipper (Alan Hale Jr) wakes up one morning to the sound of Gilligan (Bob Denver) playing rock-and-roll music from the Radio. He tosses him out of the hut to get some rest, but now the noise bothers Mr. Howell (Jim Backus), who wakes and angrily helps the Skipper search for Gilligan with the radio. When they find it, they scream at Gilligan to shut the radio off, but once off, they still hear loud music from the jungle. They quickly discover that the rock band, The Mosquitoes (The Wellingtons), have come to the island to escape their fans and relax in peace and quiet. The castaways get ready to leave with them, but after a short free concert, which Gilligan and the girls enjoy, but the others, particularly Mr. Howell, not so much, they discover that the Mosquitoes aren't leaving for a month. In a hurry to leave the island, they decide to speed up the Mosquitoes by making life so stressful for them that Bingo, their leader, announces they're leaving tomorrow. However, the next morning the Castaways discover that they have instead moved to the other side of the island, announcing that they are now staying for two months. In order to be sure the Mosquitoes won't leave without them, Gilligan, the Skipper, Mr. Howell, and the Professor (Russell Johnson) make their own band, the Gnats, but their act and style is terrible. Ginger, (Tina Louise) Mary Ann, (Dawn Wells and singing voice by Jackie Deshannon) and Mrs. Howell (Natalie Schafer) in turn make a band of their own, the Honeybees, in hope that the Mosquitoes will like it. While their act proves to be wonderful, the plan ultimately backfires, when the Mosquitoes leave without them in the helicopter that comes with provisions, and leave behind a note stating they have enough competition. They leave behind a copy of their album "The Mosquitoes at Carnegie Hall" to Gilligan so there's no hard feelings. Meanwhile, the Skipper and Mr. Howell are annoyed that their plan to get rescued didn't work. Gilligan, however, is more annoyed that the Mosquitos didn't autograph the album. The Skipper responds by hitting him with his cap while Mr. Howell swats him with his teddy bear. For the next few days, however, the women commiserate that the men are still trying to imitate the Mosquitoes or at least improve their act, which leaves Ginger hoping they never get rescued for the welfare of everyone else.
