Red's opening monologue details a recent trip he took to New York and a stopover at Chicago on the way back to LA. Instead of the regular seagulls gags, Red tells of the Camel family. The sketch, titled "Uncle Sam Wants You", finds Clem Kadiddlehopper drafted into the U.S. Army, having to endure the usual mean Sergeant, and being forced to participate in an atomic bomb test. A musical interlude features the Tailor Maids performing "Fandango."
TV Guide reports this week that Red Skelton has turned down, at least for now, an offer to star on a series of programs for the BBC in London.
