I Was King of Dagger Island
Eddie Doyle is a member of the United States Navy and is a First-Class Seaman. He was traveling to the Palu Island alongside Lieutenant Howell in the year 1944. The ship that Doyle was on was hit by a barrage of enemy torpedoes thus causing the ship to sink resulting in the deaths of everyone but Doyle and Howell.
When Doyle awoke from the concussion he received during the attack he found himself near a tropical island, this island was known as Dagger Island. He carried the unconscious body of Howell to shore where they were greeted by a band of local natives. Doyle had prepared to fight the natives but was taken by surprise when they thought him to be a deity, this was because of his ‘Frog-Suit’ that he had been wearing.
Doyle gained the trust of the natives and enjoyed living in a life of luxury for a short period of time; however, Howell wanted to return to their original mission and wound up knocking Doyle out. When Doyle woke back up he was on a U.S. Navy vessel and none of his fellow seamen believed his tale as the king of Dagger Island.
