Swiss Family Robinson

The Robinson family receives a letter from an old friend urging them to relocate to Australia.

While Becca looks forward to a new life in Australia, her older brother Fritz worries about the effect the move will have on his career options and considers remaining in Switzerland.

The Robinsons take a riverboat on the Rhine, where a con artist tricks Becca.

The Robinsons embark from an English port on their journey to Australia; Jack causes trouble while aboard; Dr. Robinson helps a pregnant passenger.

A fellow passenger named Emily worries her family will need to disembark prematurely due to a tiff.

A storm bombards the ship in the middle of Christmas celebrations, forcing an evacuation; the Robinsons stay behind to search for a missing Fritz.

Reunited, the Robinsons endure a harsh night aboard the shipwreck, and Fritz nearly drowns; they construct a raft to sail to an island in the distance.

The Robinsons make it to the island and establish a camp; Fritz cares for a baby marsupial after killing its mother and names it Mercedes.

The captain's body washes ashore and his dog, Brewster, finds it; Fritz and his father search the island for more survivors of the shipwreck.

Fritz and Ernst climb a mountain; the Robinsons search for supplies, but Becca's playful attitude puts her in danger.

The Robinsons worry when Fritz and his father don't return; jackals attack during the night and mother Anna defends her family.

Fritz begins to despair over the family's plight, especially when an insect bite endangers his eyesight; Ernst must use his medical knowledge to help his son back to health.
