Robinson lets the pirates guess if he can find the treasure, truthfully denying he knows about it, and finally escapes by diving from a cliff. Friday believes he rids them of the pirates by attracting a Spanish coast garrison, but their captain teams up with the pirates provided capturing Crusoe also leads to the gold. It comes to a joint siege of Robinson's tree-house, and all hangs on improvising a gunpowder keg launch countermeasure.
