A successful young author has sketched out a book which hugely pleases his publishers, but the trouble is that he cannot seem to write it. He knows what he wants to say, and just how to say it, but he is annoyed by callers, who bother him on all sorts of subjects. Finally in despair he decides to go into the wilderness, where no one can annoy him. He owns a little islet, known as Lonely Island, and there he goes determined to spend the summer in solitude, and complete his work.
