First. A moment of radio music before the program is joined, already in progress.
Red Skelton jokes about baseball. Red Foley sings, Mexicali Rose.
On a deserted highway, Red and his secretary, Miss Stillwell, run a hotdog stand. How’s business? Miss Stillwell isn’t impressed, since the only customers seem to be stray cows and horses. His overweight pal, Phil Davis, stops by, as does thee mild mannered Hercules. Can Red get his money back from the guy who sold him this measly hotdog stand? Snappy jokes, and comebacks abound.
Phil Davis plays, The Cotton Pickers Congregation.
Red Foley sings, Throw Another Log on the Fire.
Revisiting more of Red’s historic ancestors, we find Leif Erikson Skelton sailing his proud ViKing galleon across the sea. Mutiny is brewing if Red can’t Gert the ship out of the stormy waves. They wouldn’t dare! When land is found, the horrible looking savage warns them away in the voice of Hercules.
Phil Davis plays a jazzy tune to bounce the show to an end.
Note: Musical duties with the band seem to switch between Phil Davis, and arranger, Bob Strong.
