Dell King introduces that man who is fit as a fiddle, Red Skelton. Red talks to his back talking Mike about his homely family, and the new spring fashions. Phil Davis plays some smooth traveling music.
Red Foley is sick but is replaced by Kirt Massey to sing, Everyone Knows. In the Skelton Male Escort Service, Miss Stillwell takes the calls, but Red is the only escort. There aren’t any complaints, are there? Puns about mustaches are followed by a visit from the mild-mannered Hercules. The hefty Phil Davis is the target for fat jokes, but will he get in as one of the escorts? Puns prevail with a jitterbug flavor and an admiral. Janette sings Heaven Can Wait.
Phil Davis plays, Hold Tight. The gang gets ready to learn about another of Red’s famous ancestors. Like Marco Polo, Red is carried along by Miss Stillwell and trades with Asian merchants. Will Miss Stillwell end up in a harem? Will Red end up in a torture chamber? Kirt Massey sings, Chapel in the Moonlight.
Loved watching Res Skelton as a kid!
