Bob “Middle of the Winter” Hope talks about renewing his license plate, long lines, California drivers, and traffic.
Lost and found departments play into the commercial.

The Six Hits and a Miss sing, I Do Mean You. Basil Rathbone appears to compare his show with Bob’s, and how tough it is to be a celebrity. Playing on Basil’s recent role as a mad scientist, Bob pretends to be selling magazines door to door, and tries to make a pitch at the doctor’s office. Skinny Ennis sings, Ida.

Based on the song, X Marks the Spot, Bob and the cast go boating. Taking a break from canoeing through the swamp, Bob and Basil stop in at a spooky hotel. Jerry Kolonna lends a hand to the craziness.
