Der Schiffsarzt Lemuel Gulliver schildert seine Erlebnisse auf vier Reisen Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts. Auf diesen Reisen machte er zunächst auf der Insel Liliput die Bekanntschaft der winzigen Einwohner, den Liliputanern.

Gulliver wird bei einem Schiffbruch an den Strand von Liliput gespült. Als er den kleinen Leuten bei einem Brand beisteht, wird er dafür hoch geehrt. Die Bewohner drängen ihn, für immer zu bleiben, doch Gulliver hat Heimweh. Er flieht in einem Boot und gerät in das Land der Riesen.

Gulliver sticht mit seiner Besatzung in Richtung Australien in See. Nachdem Festland in Sicht war, wurden Beiboote ausgesetzt um Wasser zu suchen.
