Life of Riley – Trying To Get Football Tickets. 481203

A black and white photograph of William Bendix as Chester Riley, a man in a suit and tie, standing at a microphone with headphones on. He is smiling and appears to be in the midst of speaking or recording. In the background, there is a sign that reads "Life of Riley," the name of the radio program he starred in. The overall effect is one of nostalgia and vintage Americana.
William Bendix is Chester Riley on Radio Life of Riley. William Bendix and a young boy, presumably playing the character of his son, sitting at a kitchen table. Bendix is in character as Chester A. Riley from the radio show 'The Life of Riley.' They are surrounded by various kitchen items such as a toaster and coffee pot, and there is a look of amusement on Bendix's face as he seems to be telling a story.

Riley complains to Peg about Juniors behavior. He wants to give Junior a lesson in achieving things on merit, not by schmoozing and getting ahead by buttering up his teachers. Although Riley seems to have been doing some bootlicking of his own to get in good with his boss.

After an argument with Peg about double standards, Riley goes to talk with Gillis about the matter. Will Riley take a stand, and defy his boss? Both Riley and Gillis march right in, but it won’t be easy since the boss is in a grumpy mood. However, they overhear that the boss is trying to get tickets to the big game. Will Riley and Gillis cave in and offer their tickets to the boss and butter him up? Will Riley stand up and fight for what’s right?
Maybe a sneaky plan to undermine his friend Gillis? Somehow the topic transitions to a chance for Digger O’Dell to pop in for more graveyard humor, and advice. What would a show be without good old Digger?

The proof comes when Riley tries to make his impression on the boss.

    Thanks, and you’re right it is probably a linking problem. Can you tell me which page, or pages had the broken images? It’s not this one, since it has no graphics on it.
