Billy Mills opens with, Crazy Rhythm.
Working on his play of mediaeval times, Fibber the brave prepares to fight for the fair damsel Molly’s hand. In Shakespearean style, the jokes and puns flow freely, as the black knight, Gildersleeve approaches the drawbridge. Verbal sparring is accompanied with the clatter of swords, with sir Fibber emerging the winner.
The play has ended, and back stage, Abigail Upington enters to praise the performance, and reports on the audience reaction. Gildie is back to grumble about his treatment in the play. As he undresses, Fibber discovers his suit of armor is stuck. How will he ever get out of it?
Harlowe Wilcox takes time for some hard sales pitch for the sponsor.
Heading to a blacksmith, Fibber is plagued by Gildie, as the McGee’s encounter Harlowe again, this time to soft sell the sponsor, and offer a gleam to Fibber’s armor. Boomer claims to have an invention of his own to set Fibber free. Although he has a list of trivial items in his pockets… well, well, imagine that! No handy invention! The Kingsman sing, Three Brave Rooks.
Continuing to clatter down the street, Fibber continues his quest for a blacksmith, when they meet the Old Timer. He tells it the way he hear’d it about the political mud flying in this election year. Teeny stops Fibber to talk about her job to write up the play for her school paper. What’s her opinion of his armor? Gildie has been lurking, but is back for a moment of bickering. Does Fibber have a secret that is designed to guarantee he gets the better of his blustery neighbor?
