Misplaced Pages

On the Pacific island and French colony of Mitimotu, seaplane pilot Archer spends a drunken night with newlywed Charlotte Stratton causing her husband to abandon her. Mitimotu's indigenous heiress Princess Lanaluakalani and local businessman Siegbert Fuchs charter his aging seaplane, the Loose Goose, for a flight around the island and they are accompanied by co-pilot Pam and the talking parrot companion Crackers. The plane has fuel problems so Archer arranges for Lana, Fuchs, and Pam to parachute back down to the island followed by Crackers. However, just before the plane crashes, Archer manages to fix the problem and he keeps the plane aloft.

While Pam repairs their plane's wings although Archer is critical of her workmanship, Archer's old nemesis, Ziegler, a German flying ace who shot Archer down five times during the Spanish Civil War, lands on the Island with a group of German soldiers. To get even with Ziegler, Archer takes off with Pam in one of the German planes and is followed by Ziegler. In the ensuing dogfight, Pam shoots down Ziegler's plane but Archer claims the credit. Unfortunately, their plane is damaged so Archer belly-lands into the ocean where they are soon surrounded by sharks.

Princess Lana's father berates her for showing Fuchs the map to the idol. She drives out into the jungle to stop Fuchs but runs into Malory's group. Crackers finds them and tells them of Archer and Pam's predicament, and Malory reluctantly agrees to detour and save them. Meanwhile, Archer and Pam have been captured by the local Mua Mua tribe who prepare to eat them. They meet Noah, an anthropologist studying the tribe, but he says he cannot interfere in the traditional ceremony. When the Mua Mua are called away to fend off an attack from another tribe, Archer and Pam free themselves. They are caught again by the Mua Mua, but after Archer saves them from being shot by a German soldier, they are invited to help the tribe wipe out the other Germans.

Malory's group finds Archer and Pam in the native village and Lana is surprised when they treat Charlotte as a princess instead of her. When Fuchs has radioed for backup and a platoon of German stormtroopers land on a nearby beach, Archer is concerned that the tribe will not be able to defend themselves against the heavily armed Germans. Archer helps the tribe prepare to defend the village and set up booby traps, which has successfully wiped out the German troops and also defeated Fuchs who has donned a powered exoskeleton. Later that night, Archer and the others join in the tribe's victory celebrations.

With the help of Noah, Archer and the group continue on their search for the idol and come across an entrance to a cave under the volcano. Once inside, they find the idol, which is revealed to be carved out of uranium. Soon after, they are attacked by Fuchs who has followed them in his exoskeleton, seeking to use the idol to create a superweapon for Germany. A shoot-out ensues, which is only interrupted by the volcano cracking open and exposing flows of lava. Pam, Sterling, and Fuchs fall into a crevasse and are only saved by hanging onto Pam who has a grip on the edge. However, Archer loses his grip and he and Fuchs plummet towards a pool of flowing lava. The episode ends with a scene that suddenly shifts to show Archer aboard a spaceship.
