Phil Harris – Vacation Plans. ep179, 510506

Phil coaches the girls on the merits and benefits in beating the rug. Why isn’t Phil doing it, like Alice asked him? Should they take a vacation in Hawaii, or see the nightclub shows that Phil likes? Willie thinks an educational trip is best. Remley might be in bad shape, when he gets word from his doctor that he has to stop smoking and drinking. If it’s as easy as Phil claims, why doesn’t he join his friend in the abstinence? If Frankie butters Alice up, will she let him go on their trip with them? She sings, Nobody Chasing Me.

No amount of sweet talk, or blackmail from Frankie will get Alice to budge. With flubbed lines to wade through, Frankie has his own ideal vacation plan. The guys set out to ubuy the ideal car for a road trip from Grogan. How about a nice Stanley Steamer, or an Essex? Will Alice think their idea to save money will be a good idea? Phil sings, Mama’s on the Warpath.

The homemade building project results in a trailer that seems more like a coffin on wheels. When Julius arrives, the guys get locked into the tiny trailer. Maybe a roll down the hill, with a sudden crashing stop will unlock the coffin trailer, and set the guys free.
