Robinson Sucroe is a janitor at the famous newspaper, the New York Herald. He is sent by the head editor Mr. Floydd to a dangerous deserted island to write stories for the paper every week, much to the annoyance of famous reporter Julian Uglyston.
Robinson reaches an island called Crab Island, but it is not dangerous and deserted as it seems. It is actually the home to a shipwrecked group of people called the Everydays and two rival legions of pirates.
Robinson, with his right-hand man Mr. Wednesday, write embellished reports about the island's dangers, to keep visitors away. But Uglyston knows the truth and tries many unsuccessful attempts to prove to Mr. Floydd that Robinson is lying.

In the 1990s, Cinar, later renamed Cookie Jar Entertainment, copied the work Claude Robinson had previously unsuccessfully presented to them in the 1980s. In 2009, Quebec Superior Court Justice Claude Auclair, in a 240-page decision, awarded Robinson $5.2 million in damages. The company appealed the decision.
As of December 23, 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada, in a unanimous decision, affirmed the judgment in favor of Robinson. In the final judgement, Cinar Corp. will have to reimburse part of the fees incurred by Robinson and this also includes 4 million Canadian dollars in damages. This judgement ended an 18-year battle between Claude Robinson and the Cinar Corp.[2][3]
