Synopsis:

While searching for fresh food on a seemingly uninhabited island Edward Dorrington and his crew stumble upon a meticulously crafted village. They soon discover that the buildings and everything in them belong to a single man who has been living on the island alone for more than fifty years. Dorrington offers to rescue the man from the island, but the hermit declines, and offers the group a fine dinner while he recounts the tale of his odd and adventure-filled life.
