| - When his attempt to make rain during a drought destroys their weather station, Dr. Smith is banned from camp. After walking some time, he comes across an alien's spacecraft. He decides to use his discovery to force the Robinsons into taking him back, but when he finds that none will even speak to him, he takes a repair kit and begins to work on the ship alone. The crashed ship is not actually a derelict, but a sort of space life boat that crashed on the planet. The ship’s owner, Admiral Zahrk, was cast adrift by his mutinous crew led by one Mr. Kidnoh; he hides himself and allows Smith to begin repairs, continuing them himself when Smith is not around. When Will visits Smith at the crash site, he, the Robot and Dr. Smith are impressed by Admiral Zahrk as his crew. Zahrk plans to lift off in pursuit of his mutinous crew and retake his ship. Will feels sorry for Doctor Smith and sneaks him some parts and some food. Zahrk grabs Will and takes him onboard the spacecraft, intending to blast off and chase after his long-time enemy, Mr. Kidnoh. Luckily for Will the spacecraft is still too damaged to fly, so he manages to escape and run back to his family. Will manages to escape, but after he returns to the damaged ship when his parents do not believe his story Zahrk recaptures him and they lift off. John finds Zahrk’s log when he is searching for the missing Will. He begins work on a magnetic beam that will capture Zahrk’s craft and force it to return to the planet. Meanwhile, Will and the Robot are enjoying their new lives as sailors, but Smith’s ineptitude soon results in him being outranked by both Will and the Robot. When Smith is thrown in the brig for stealing cheese, Will and the Robot stage their own mutiny. This delays their journey long enough for John to lock onto the vessel and bring it back to ground. Once the ship has landed, Will, the Robot and Smith disembark, but Admiral Zahrk blasts off immediately to continue his search from Mr. Kidnoh and the rest of his mutinous crew.
