The plot is old. I remember a show a few years back where the owner of a tropical island sent his guest(s) off into the bush and then went hunting for them. Or something like that. A stature-challenged actor with a French name was his servant.

There was a novel written way back with a similar premise. I read it when I was about age nine or ten. Can't remember any detail. I doubt that it was ever reprinted.

The producers say the filming localities will be scenic. Maybe the advertising spots will be interesting.
