Douglas Fairbanks strands himself on a lush tropical island for a bet, and finds himself hosting a maiden from the neighbouring island who is fleeing the prospect of a forced marriage. This lightweight comedy borrows only Crusoe's name, and is largely plotless for much of its running time, but it's fun to see the Heath Robinson-ish contraptions Fairbanks invents to make his life easier on the island. Sadly, his character's expertise at everything he turns his hand to grows a little irritating after a while.
