Audio isn’t the best, but fair. There is cross-talk, probably from other shows stored on the same reel to reel tape.
Lou tells secrets on his family members and his bathing habits. Anna May Slaughter, the 10-year-old singer for the show sings a medley to include: I’ll Be Home for Christmas and White Christmas.
The guest is Lillian Roth, a long time vaudeville performer, singer, and no stranger to stage and screen. She pokes fun at Lou and patiently listens to Buds’ lack of singing talent. She sings a few lines of tunes she made popular through her years. Ain’t She Sweet, I’m in Love with You Honey, and Goody Goody.
Time for Bubble or Nothing, the game where Kidds blow the biggest bubble they can. Prizes are given for the biggest bubble, and contestants get plenty of clues to answer questions for prizes. Little girls with boyfriends who drink (soda pop of course), a cute little colored boy, and a boy whose father passed away (awkward moment for Lou, but his answer more than makes up for it). prizes include candy bars, ink pens, cowboy suits, a puppy, and lots more.
The final segment honors a boy who did a good deed. When a fire breaks out in the rural home, six-year-old William raced inside to rescue his mother and two brothers. Unfortunately, his father died in the fire, and only his mother survived injuries. Bud and Lou send plenty of toys and support to help William start his own foundation to help kids in need.
