== Synopsis==
Tired of the construction of their hut being delayed, [[Ginger]] and [[Mary Ann]] go on strike, joined by [[Mrs. Howell]] upset that she and [[Mr. Howell]] don't have their own hut yet either. As a result, the men and women split into two different camps. The men try to proceed as usual, but Ginger keeps returning to camp to distract [[Gilligan]] in his chores. They try to scare the women back to camp with a fake monster played by the [[Skipper]] and [[Gilligan]], but Ginger gets wind of the stunt. Instead, Gilligan and Skipper get beaten up by the girls and sent away humiliated. That night, the men are tired of the menial chores not getting done and have dreams of getting their own way with the girls. The [[Skipper]] dreams he's an Arabian sheik, Mr. Howell thinks of himself as getting constantly pampered, the [[Professor]] pictures himself as a famous actor and Gilligan is a world-famous matador. Waking up, they head back to try and make peace with the girls, each of them failing miserably except Mr. Howell who sent them ahead to watch their progress. The girls by now peek out to see what the men are planning next and notice what looks like a huge monster. As they're marveling at how large and spooky it is, Ginger looks back and sees the men elsewhere. The monster isn't theirs, and they head to the men for protection, but the Professor takes a second look and realizes that the "monster" is actually a weather balloon that can help them get rescued. By now, Gilligan has attacked it and smashed the sensitive electronic equipment, rendering it inoperative.
