Synopsis
In old England a young bank employee for Cole and Dunson wakes from a
dream where he was a night fighting dragons. He comes to the conclusion
that his life is dull an unexciting, that he’s been wasting his life
and seeks adventure. After day dreaming on the job about being a hunter
in the stone age, he gets tired of working at the bank and quits his
job. That night he then breaks off his engagement to his finance. The
next day he gets the idea to sign up for a sailing expedition, under the
impression that he’ll find a desert island full of riches and people
that will worship him as a kind. He signs up and on the boat he has
fantasies of coming back to England with his riches and having any woman
he wants. He muses that the days ahead will be exciting, and he is sure
of it as sure as his name is Robinson Crusoe.
