Muppet Treasure Island 'Jim Hawkins love story'

The Rescue

Gonzo and Rizzo were tied to the posts, watching as the pigs prepared to cook the prisoners.

"I wish we were back at the Admiral Benbow eating table scraps." Rizzo lamented.

"We're about to become table scraps." Gonzo laughed nervously.

"Well, this is terrible! This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me." Rizzo yelled, scampering in front of Gonzo, until he noticed he was no longer tied to the post. "Wait a second! I've been cut loose!"

"Hiya, guys." Gonzo and Rizzo shrieked as Jim popped up next to Gonzo's post.

"Jim, they've got Captain Smollett."

"I know. Come on. We've got to get help." Jim told them.

"Hold still." Annie ordered, appearing next to Jim so she could cut Gonzo loose like she had done with Rizzo.

"Hey, what's she doing here?" Rizzo asked, pointing at the girl he had seen taking Jim away with the other pirates.

"It's a long story, but she's here to help. She's on our side. Now let's go!" Jim explained.

"Oh, okay. Where will we go?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "Yeah, here's the boat. Oh, no!" Gonzo groaned as he took in the sight of the destroyed boats that had spears sticking out of it.

"Well, that won't help us. We're gonna have to swim to the ship." Jim said.

"Hello! Earth to Jimbo. Swimming to a ship that's full of killer pirates to save the Captain is not a good plan." Rizzo pointed out.

"Look!" Annie whispered, pointing out to the sea where Mr. Arrow was rowing his boat.

"Yes. The gunwale and keel are definitely safe."

"Mr. Arrow! It's me! Jim!"

"Mr. Arrow!" The other three yelled, joining Jim in trying to grab Mr. Arrow's attention.

"Oh. Oh, boys. Miss Gracelynn. Come join me aboard this exceptionally safe little boat. Hmm. By the way, that Silver fellow may not be trustworthy."

"Now he tells us!"

"Yeah."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jim and his friends were in the boat that they manage to sail secretly next to the Hispaniola. Jim signalled to the others to be quiet as he snuck inside the ship through the gunport, followed by Annie and then the others.

Trelawney, Livesey and Livesey's assistant were cried out as they struggled against the ropes that kept them hostage on the ship.

"Make yourself useful. Try and save us. Do something!" Trelawney yelled at the little man that lived in his finger.

"Shh!" Jim hushed Trelawney, covering his mouth, as he appeared by his side.

"Oh, Master Hawkins, you've come to rescue us." Livesey cheered.

"I should've let him live in my finger." Trelawney nodded, as Annie and Jim began to untie the ropes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jim peered at the deck, seeing the pirates all gathered there. He came back down to start the plan.

"We're ready, Master Hawkins."

"Do you think this will work, Dr. Livesey?"

"Oh, yes! My research indicates that pirates are very superstitious. And Miss Gracelynn has informed me that this particular crew is very gullible."

The friends watched as Mr. Arrow rose up onto the deck covered in seaweed.

"Boogie, boogie, boogie! I am the ghost of Samuel Arrow." Mr. Arrow moaned as the pirates watched in horror. "Boogie!"

The crew yelled as they all ran to jump ship. Once every pirate had dove into the sea, Jim and the others raced up to the deck.

"Come on, we've got to save the Captain!"

"Fantastic, Mr. Arrow. That was beautiful. What do we do next? What do we do now? Uh, Jim?"

"Weigh anchor?"

"Weigh anchor, okay."

"Set the sails." Jim smiled, growing more confident.

"Set the sails!"

"And you, Squire Trelawney."

"Now, Master Hawkins, I..."

"You take the helm."

"Ah! Step aside, Mr. Bimbo. I shall be taking the helm."

"Very nice work, Captain Hawkins." Annie grinned at Jim, who couldn't help but grin back.

"Hurry, Rizzo!" Gonzo yelled as both of them pushed the wheel. Well, Gonzo pushed it while Rizzo clung to it with his feet dangling in the air.

"I'm going as fast as I can."
