The carnival has come to town, but Molly and Fibber have different opinions about going. Molly loves the attractions, but Fibber thinks it’s a waste of money. Fibber surprises Molly when he wants to go, but it’s really to watch all the fools who are there spending their money. Lena the maid enters to tell about her former career as a snake charmer in a sideshow. Getting his hat so he can head out, McGee comes to a crashing encounter with his hall closet. Billy Mills plays, Little Rock Get Away.
Molly plays games on the midway, but are they as rigged as Fibber complains they are? Wallace Wimple talks about his thrills at the carnival, and the job his big old wife, Sweetie Face has. Molly keeps up her winning streak as the McGees find Harlowe Wilcox pitching his wares.
Teeny shows up to tell about all the fun she’s having, as well as all the food she has been eating. It’s enough for two stomach aches. Horatio K Boomer makes an appearance as Teeny wins a game of strength. The Kingsmen sing, Sawing a Woman in Half.
Doc Gamble makes a quick appearance, before the mcGee’s take in the sights from the top of the Ferris Wheel. Fond memories are shared as they get stranded at the top when the wheel breaks down. Will they relive some of those romantic moments of their early years?
Note: Though he proclaims to be her uncle Fred, the character, Horatio K Boomer is the carnival worker ho helps Teeny win. Like Nick Depopolos, he hasn’t been on the show much in years. The knock off of WC Fields well known personna used to be a regular, and love interest of Abigail Uppington.
