Plot: While the general theme of this film resembles "The Blue Lagoon" (the film for which this is a sequel), the basic plot is quite different. We open the film with a ship finding the craft with our original characters in it, Richard and Emmeline dead and Paddy alive. Established in the first film, the only word Paddy ever says is "Richard", so the crew assumes Richard is the infant's name. Taken in by Sarah, a widow with an infant baby girl Lilli, Richard (Paddy) is cared for in a return to civilization. Struck by cholera, the crew of the ship start to die and the captain sets Sarah, Richard, Lilli and a healthy crew member on a lifeboat in an attempt to preserve their lives. With water and food running short, the crew member escorting Sarah and the children becomes dangerous, so Sarah takes the only course of action she feels suitable to preserve the children: she strikes him and throws him overboard. Taking control of the small craft, she eventually guides them back to the island of the first film. The infant Richard, recognizing where he is, finds his home and is very upset not to find his parents. Fixing up the hut and settling in the children, Sarah begins their life on the island, slowly teaching the children survival tools, as well as schooling them as though they were in school, and teaching them slowly about the facts of life, including Lilli's eventual growth to womanhood. When Sarah dies from pneumonia, she leaves the children far more prepared than Richard and Emmeline in the first film. Years later as the children grow into adulthood, the film skims the same themes as the first of their developing relationship, and introduces the characters to civilization when a ship, low on fresh water, stops on their island and offers to take them home. After a confrontation with one of the crew and the captain's daughter, Lilli finds herself pregnant and they decide to stay, as they feel the civilization the visitors have to offer will not compare to the life they lead on the island.

scrolling text: [first lines - scrolling text] 1897 - Fifteen years before our story begins, two children were shipwrecked on an uncharted island. The little boy and girl grew up alone in this lost paradise. As man and woman, they discovered a pure and natural love. In time, a child was born. But in a tragic accident, they were driven out to sea away from their island. Drifting for days, they believed that their lives and the life of their baby were at an end. Then a passing vessel drew near...

Lilli: Mother died six years ago.::Capt. Jacob Hilliard: How do you follow the years?::Richard: She taught us. We count the moons, we know that twelve full moon are one year.::Lilli: We have Christmas and Thanksgiving, and Easter, although we're not exactly sure we celebrate them on the right days.::Capt. Jacob Hilliard: It's utterly amazing, the two of you all these years in this remote, Godforsaken place.::Lilli: Not Godforsaken, Captain Hilliard. Not Godforsaken at all.

[last lines]::Lilli: There's a baby growing inside me.::Richard: [excited] Lilli... How do you know?::Lilli: [smiles] A woman knows these things... that's how.::[Richard smiles excitedly at her]::Lilli: I won't let it be born in civilization. I want it to be born right here. Where there's no evil, and no lies, and no guns.::Richard: You're right. Well stay here. Just the three of us. I love you, Lilli.

Lilli: I always weather a storm well. I get that from Mother.::Richard: Yes, you do. Captain Hilliard says he wants to set sail at dawn.::Lilli: [sadly] I guess that means that Captain Hilliard's daughter wants to set sail at dawn.::Richard: I don't care what she wants. I don't care about her at all, I know that now, Lilli. Do you understand? You're the most important thing in the whole world to me.::Lilli: Well you can set sail at dawn... But we're not going.
