Herbert Gilbert
Thurston Howell III has always been and was an arrogant rich bastard typical of his class. The marooned billionaire recently had Gilliam do some work and upon discovery of a old treasure chest the billionaire tried to lay claim on this award winning episode of Gilligan Island. The debate of whether corporations are people too waged on back in the day and anything found or discovered while on the job and take the plutocracy claims belongs to them. This is the argument of Thurston Howell in this acclaimed and important episode of Gilligan Island season one episode 8 of the incredible sixties program staring John Denver and Denver Pyle.
Thurston Howell was excellently portrayed by Jim Backus and pretty much defines and plays a seedy rich bastards owning much of the wealth and corporation and throughout this episode of claiming a treasure chest the argument that a worker is a person or has special individual rights is debated and the topic of discussion. The cast of Gilligan Island set up a mock trial presided and judged by the one and only professor and had a trial of who was owner of the discovered chest the Gilligan found but demanded and laid claim by the scoundrel that was the dirty Thurston Howell the 5th. Gilligan is obviously a person and corporations are not despite the proclamation of Thurston Howell the IV who throughout this episode tried yo say any abd all discoveries of the workman Gilligan belonged and was property of the employer. The episode ended with the opening of the chest and discovery all that was in it was old small cannon balls for a small cannon that was somehow stored on the island by an imperial Pacific Island empire.
Thurston Howell''s dream of more wealth and theft of it was thwarted by both the ruling of the pragmatic professor and the revealing of the contents of the suppose "treasure" chest that was nothing g but iron balls and weapons of island siege and warfare.
