Corky (played by Scotty Beckett) drops out of college to marry Susan Morrow. Everyone in the family is upset as he tries a couple of jobs to support his wife. Then the opportunity arises to buy a diner, with attendant difficulties.
It's a pretty good representation of the daily continuity of Frank King's comic strip (which is still running!) with Don Beddoe made up to look exactly like Walt Wallet in the comics. The strip originated in the form of four World War I vets talking about cars. By the early 1920s, a baby was left on Walt's steps to appeal to women readers. Gasoline Alley was unique in that the characters aged in normal time, so that young orphan, named "Skeezix" fought in the Second World War, and matters have continued on, although the aging process was stopped for a couple of decades, then later resumed. As a result, Walt is probably the oldest man alive at something over 120 years of age.
With Dick Wessell, Gus Schilling, and Byron Boulger.
