but first... an amusing cartoon short before our scheduled featured entertainment begin...
The day after spending a night out celebrating his birthday, Jimmy's family moves to a new house. Nelson gets fired at his job while taking Jimmy to meet his boss. The family go out on a boat trip. Suddenly, Jimmy wakes up on a piece of driftwood and remembers the ship capsized in a storm. He then winds up stranded on a deserted island for several weeks with only occasional visits from Superman.
