Red Skelton – Juniors Good Deed. 481008

Red talks about doing some Fall house cleaning. Then about his brother in law. After Red stumbles over jokes about hair restoring, The Four Knights sing, Old Dan Tucker.

Red puts a challenge to Rod to see if he heard Fred Allen last week, apparently on a quiz program. He then shows what it’s really like in the homes across America when quiz shows are on. Willie Lumplump sits with his ear glued to the radio. Though his wife nags, he won’t leave the radio. His neighbor has a medical emergency, but he won’t let the phone be tied up. Interruptions, wrong numbers, and the threat of having the phone disconnected all have Willie going bonkers. Dave Rose plays, Beyond the Blue Horizon.

A Page from the Mean Little Kid’s Diary. Junior manages to do a good deed, but he can’t figure out why everybody is so impressed by it. Before doing his deed, he has to get cleaned up, washed, and dressed to go out. Jokes about hygiene turn to those revolving about social events. Juniors good deed comes when he overhears plans to blow up the dam, and he spills the beans on the bad guys.
