"Fantasy Island" was a one-hour television program which ran on the ABC television network from 1977 to 1984. Fantasy Island was located somewhere in the Caribbean region. It was a resort run by the mysterious Mr. Roarke assisted by Tattoo, a little person. Guests could request to live out fantasies some of which were dangerous. When an airplane brought new guests to the island Tattoo would shout "De plane! De plane!" This episode is actually titled "Treasure Hunt / Beauty Contest" and was first broadcast on March 11, 1978. Stu Chambers and James Defoe are partners in a business. They have come to the Island with Stu's wife Andrea to hunt for a legendary pirate's treasure. A second non-numismatic story is about a young girl, Sally Quinn, who enters a beauty contest to impress her father, Neville Quinn, whose deceased wife was a contest winner. The three explorers find a traditional pirate treasure chest filled with jewelry and Spanish doubloons. The doubloons are are realistic looking prop coins based on Spanish bust doubloon designs.

Tattoo cries his signature line:

The treasure hunters leave the airplane.

Stu is becomimg jealous of his wife's friendship with James. Mr. Roarke tells Tattoo that there might be a murder.

Mr. Roarke welcomes Sally Quinn to the Island where she will participate in a supposedly rigged beauty contest.

The donkey to the left is not seen again.

According to a map that Mr. Roarke gave the group, the treasure is in a cave on the other side of the mountain.

Stu becomes more jealous.

All three manage to fall out of the boat and attract the interest of crocodiles. James manages to pull Stu into the boat.

The men tell Andrea to wait while they enter the cave.

The men find the traditional pirate treasure chest.

Lots of jewelry and some coins. The coins in the center appear to be imitiation or prop coins.

The two coins at the top are prop or imitation coins which resemble Spanish gold eight escudo coins or "doubloons". These prop coins have appeared in other programs and look real.

A Spanish doubloon gold coin:

Gold, 38 mm, 27.0 gm

The two men begin arguing and then fighting. A piece of the cave falls on James and Stu digs him out.

Mr. Roarke is happy that his prediction did not become true.

The three treasure hunters leave without the treasure but with a better relationship.
