Rescue ships came to save the passengers, and everyone was able to escape from the ship - everyone but the 6 members of the Swiss Family Robinson. By the next sunrise, the family ended up shipwrecked on an unchartered island. They must work together, keeping their spirits up to create a new life with the help of their animal friends like Luke the Donkey and a monkey.
