When a story hinges on a message found in a bottle, so begins the entire quest of “In Search of the Castaways.” Mary Grant (Haley Mills) determines to find her missing father who communicates through serendipity. With a wily old Frenchman (Maurice Chevalier) along to help, she also enlists a young man as her chaste love interest (Michael Anderson, Jr.). The father, imprisoned by an enemy named Ayrton (George Sanders) somewhere in the South Seas, will await their pluck. It is tested by attacks by a giant condor who wants to make a meal of the younger brother. Other episodes feature attacks by crocodiles and hostile Indians. They avert natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, wildfires) by dint of luck. The children in their quest are protected by innocence and dedication to a rightful duty. They can transcend any adversity to meet the inevitable happy ending after experiencing thrills to last a lifetime.
