"Music Hath Charms" is as charming as the title says, the castaways following the lead of Mrs. Howell, who wants to bring culture to the island by forming an orchestra. Mr. Howell and Skipper wind up dueling batons to see who gets to conduct (Mrs. Howell wins), with the Professor on the flute, Ginger on xylophone, Mary Ann working the saw with a bow, Skipper blowing cone shells, and Mr. Howell the 'square on the triangle.' Unfortunately, the natives are restless across the waves, misinterpreting Gilligan's solid cohesive drumming for a war signal to attack. The expression on the native scout's face tells us he doesn't like what he's hearing, but it alerts the musicians that intruders are close by. All seems lost after each of the men gets captured due to Gilligan's ineptitude, the finale a genuine surprise. There would be more musical endeavors to come, in particular "Don't Bug The Mosquitos." Still unbilled, Russ Grieve is back as the native chief, though wearing less makeup on his face.
