00:00 [music]
00:19 You have a date with the angels.
00:22 Starring Betty White,
00:25 Bill Williams as Gus Angel,
00:28 presented by the Plymouth Dealers of America,
00:32 who proudly sell and service the beautiful new Plymouth for $19.57.
00:39 [music]
00:43 The time, about six months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:47 The plot, forgive me,
00:50 but if you ever wanted to belt somebody,
00:53 the characters, loud.
00:57 Take a few more charades, Charlie.
00:59 Be back in a minute. I want to see about the coffee.
01:03 Oh, Gus, they're nice.
01:05 Yeah, honey, but just one thing.
01:06 I wish you'd stop mentioning insurance in front of the Bennetts.
01:10 I thought that was why we were having them over.
01:12 Yes, it is, but it's going to take months to sign them up.
01:15 You know how I operate as a counselor.
01:18 I know, dear. Sneaky.
01:20 [laughter]
01:22 Ah, honey, you're wonderful.
01:23 For one, for you, we'd still be calling the Bennetts by their last name.
01:27 Yes.
01:28 [music]
01:32 [chatter]
01:34 Can we do some more charades?
01:35 Oh, yes, I'd love to.
01:37 I think it's Charlie's turn.
01:39 It's Carole's turn.
01:40 All right, this is a tough one. You'll never get this.
01:42 Oh, we'll get it.
01:43 Go, Charlie.
01:44 One word, one word.
01:45 You can't talk.
01:46 Oh, all right.
01:49 Going about a wedding.
01:50 A wedding ring.
01:52 A wedding ring.
01:53 Ring around the...
01:54 Thumb.
01:55 Goldfinger.
01:56 Miss.
01:57 Miss.
01:58 Miss.
01:59 Miss.
02:00 Oh, missus.
02:01 [buzzer]
02:02 Um, wait.
02:03 Kirby.
02:04 Ocean.
02:05 A dip.
02:06 The grail race.
02:07 Oh.
02:08 Uh, bear market.
02:09 Mississippi.
02:11 Mississippi.
02:12 Oh, how did you get it, honey?
02:14 I didn't even cut the "d" off the "tippy" yet.
02:17 I don't mean the game.
02:18 This is Biloxi, Mississippi on the floor.
02:20 Oh, that must be, uh, Vicki's oldest sister.
02:24 She lives in Biloxi.
02:26 Oh, we know some people who just moved to Biloxi.
02:30 Uh, Uga Johnson.
02:31 Oh, and was I glad to see that useless son of theirs leave.
02:34 He was always skulking around our daughter's joints.
02:36 Grace.
02:37 Oh, well, how nice to hear from you.
02:40 Is anything wrong?
02:43 Wheeler?
02:45 Well, we'd love to have him.
02:47 Just a minute.
02:49 Grace wants to send Wheeler out on his vacation.
02:51 He's dying to see Southern California.
02:53 Does he know how crowded it is?
02:58 Gus said he'd be thrilled, Grace.
03:00 Uh, Wheeler's Vicki's nephew.
03:02 Oh, how old is he?
03:04 Oh, Wheeler must be about 16.
03:06 I've never seen him.
03:07 Our joints will be 16 in the spring.
03:09 A teenager.
03:11 Are you going to have a ball?
03:13 What do you mean?
03:15 She means they're horrible.
03:18 Oh, Charlie, they are not.
03:20 They're lovable.
03:21 Oh, yeah?
03:22 Well, how about that lovable string bean who fixed my car?
03:25 It cost me 50 bucks to get it unfixed.
03:27 He told you it wasn't his fault.
03:29 Oh, sure.
03:30 He told me.
03:31 Everybody leaves a wrench in the crankcase.
03:35 Hey, will you stop your worrying?
03:38 I'll tell you what to do with this kid, Gus.
03:40 The minute he walks in the door, build him.
03:46 Gus will take care of him from the minute he walks in the door.
03:51 Well, I'll cook things that will tempt his appetite.
03:54 Tempt it?
03:55 They eat the hinges right off the refrigerator.
03:58 He'll love it.
04:00 Fine.
04:01 Fine, dear.
04:02 Goodbye.
04:04 My sister's boy Wheeler's coming out for a visit.
04:06 Isn't that wonderful?
04:07 Yeah, but you might not realize it till he goes home.
04:13 Why not?
04:14 Oh, Vicki, they're-- well, they're just everything at once.
04:20 They sleep anywhere, anytime.
04:23 They're children one minute and adults the next.
04:27 They're grateful and awkward.
04:30 Oh, but they are wonderful once you get used to them.
04:34 The trick is getting used to them.
04:37 Come on, honey.
04:38 We better let the angel rest up for Wheeler.
04:40 Well, he won't be here for another week.
04:42 It'll take you that long to nail down the furniture.
04:49 Kitchen.
04:55 Hi, Wheeler.
05:02 You're about out of milk, Aunt Vicki.
05:04 And you're about out of fortune.
05:06 And it's the fourth one you've had on since you got here.
05:09 I took another shower.
05:11 I want to make a good impression when I meet Uncle Gus.
05:14 Anything I can do to help?
05:18 Are you sure I can't do something to help?
05:20 I've already got one up higher.
05:21 No, it's fine just as is, thank you.
05:23 And turn down.
05:24 No.
05:26 I mean, no, really, Wheeler, it's just where I want it.
05:29 I love to cook.
05:31 Mother keeps throwing me out of the kitchen.
05:34 Is there something I can't do to help?
05:37 Yes, come to think of it, you can get Mom
05:39 to clean up that milk you spilled.
05:41 Oh, sure, I didn't see it.
05:54 Aunt Vicki, you know what the girls call me down home?
05:57 The menace?
05:59 No, the wheel.
06:01 Not just because my name's Wheeler, either.
06:03 Why is it then?
06:05 You know.
06:13 I'm glad to hear that.
06:15 We have a date for you tomorrow night.
06:17 For me?
06:18 A lovely girl, Joyce Bennett.
06:21 We thought we'd have dinner here and then maybe go to a movie, huh?
06:24 Okay.
06:26 Don't you want to know something about her?
06:28 She's a girl, isn't she?
06:32 A rag of bone and a hank of hair.
06:35 Huh?
06:36 She's a girl, isn't she?
06:38 Oh.
06:45 No, the thing is, Wheel,
06:47 she's the daughter of one of your Uncle Gus's prospective clients.
06:51 He's been stalking this Mr. Bennett for about three months.
06:54 Ah, now I get it.
06:57 Oh, no, you don't.
06:58 That's not what I meant at all.
07:01 What I meant was,
07:03 oh, well,
07:05 just mind your manners and see that Joyce has a good time.
07:11 Okay, Ma.
07:19 Yeah, I like you, Aunt Vicki.
07:21 Why did you marry Uncle Gus?
07:24 Because I love him.
07:26 And because he asked me.
07:32 Do you know what a neutron is?
07:34 Sure.
07:35 It's a charm that hasn't been used much.
07:40 Seriously, everything is made up of protons and neutrons.
07:43 Everything.
07:44 This house,
07:45 that stove, you and me,
07:48 this frying pan, everything.
07:50 The protons revolve around the neutron.
07:52 My planets revolve around the sun.
07:54 The whole universe is revolving.
07:56 Aunt Vicki, can I ever assure you that we might be part of a great big giant frying pan?
08:04 Hi, Aunt.
08:05 Mom!
08:09 Oh, my goodness.
08:11 Oh, Gus, he's the most fascinating boy.
08:17 Uncle Gus, this is your nephew, Wheeler.
08:19 Wheeler, this is your Uncle Gus.
08:21 Hi, Uncle Gus.
08:22 Well, well, well.
08:25 I explained to Wheeler that you had an appointment this morning and you couldn't meet his train.
08:28 Oh, fine, fine.
08:31 Have a seat there, Wheeler.
08:33 Thank you, sir.
08:34 You two get acquainted.
08:35 I'll finish getting dinner.
08:39 Gee, Aunt Vicki, I meant to put that away.
08:41 Don't worry about it.
08:43 Well, well, well.
08:48 You have a nice trip?
08:49 Yes, sir.
08:50 You got here on schedule?
08:52 Yes, sir.
08:54 Got a lot of things planned for you, Wheeler.
08:56 Yes, sir.
09:01 We can go to the beach.
09:03 Yes, sir.
09:05 We thought maybe we'd drive up to the mountains next weekend.
09:08 Yes, sir.
09:13 There's always night baseball and you like baseball.
09:16 No, sir.
09:21 Well, well, well.
09:23 There's lots to do around town.
09:25 Yes, sir.
09:28 Excuse me a minute, Wheeler.
09:41 How you doing?
09:42 Are you sure you met the right train?
09:47 You need something?
09:49 But your sister's so pretty.
09:50 Oh, thank you.
09:53 Honey, I hate to say this, but isn't that boy a shade stupid?
09:59 I wouldn't say that.
10:01 Well, we had an idiotic conversation just now you wouldn't believe.
10:05 About how we're all part of a giant frying pan?
10:09 Don't let it bother you.
10:10 Here, drink this. It'll make you feel better.
10:12 Thanks.
10:13 All I could get at him was, "Yes, sir. No, sir."
10:16 When you get to know him better, you'll find that he talks all the time.
10:19 Well, the house hasn't been quiet since he got here.
10:24 It's all right, Aunt Vicki. It didn't break.
10:26 Oh, that voice.
10:32 Honey, I'm not so sure that date with Joyce tomorrow was a good idea.
10:37 You know, Bennett's a very important client.
10:39 You stop worrying, sweetie.
10:41 Now go on back in there.
10:42 Let him do the talking for a change.
10:48 A giant frying pan?
10:51 Go on. Start being an uncle.
10:59 Hey, thanks, Uncle Guy.
11:00 What?
11:04 You're welcome.
11:07 Your Aunt Vicki said to let you do the talking.
11:10 All right.
11:15 How's the insurance business?
11:17 Well, fine, sir.
11:21 I've been thinking about your job, Uncle Guy.
11:23 The way to sell insurance is to scare these guys.
11:26 You think so?
11:27 Sure.
11:28 What would happen to Aunt Vicki if something happened to you?
11:30 Suppose your house burned down during a tornado and a flood.
11:35 Well, as a client, I have in mind has accident insurance.
11:39 As a matter of fact, he may not sign for three months.
11:42 I'm trying to sign his company to a crew policy.
11:45 Oh, well, no wonder it's taking three months.
11:48 What do you mean?
11:49 Well, it takes longer to scare that many people.
12:00 What's with Uncle Guy?
12:01 With Uncle Guy?
12:02 Yes. Quite the silly fellow to talk just now.
12:05 All he can say is, "Well, well, well."
12:09 He knows some other words.
12:10 What were you talking about?
12:11 His job.
12:13 That's another thing.
12:15 He don't know the first thing about selling insurance.
12:24 Honey, I can't get in the bathroom.
12:27 That kid's taking a shower again.
12:30 He's just about beginning to steam off the wallpapers.
12:35 No wonder he's so thin.
12:37 He washes most of his skin down the drain.
12:48 You don't like him, do you, Gus?
12:51 Well, sure I do.
12:54 It's only he was supposed to pick up Mr. Vendor's daughter 15 minutes ago.
12:58 Well, why don't you pick her up without wheelers?
13:01 You'll be ready by the time you get back.
13:03 Like this?
13:04 You'll look fine. Just put on a coat.
13:06 Why don't I tell Bennett?
13:07 Well, tell him he's a very clean young man.
13:19 Come on in, Joyce.
13:21 Sweetheart, we're here.
13:24 You're in so long, I was getting a little worried.
13:26 This is Joyce Bennett. This is Wheeler's Aunt Vicki.
13:29 Hello, Joyce.
13:35 I'm afraid Wheeler's Aunt Vicki hasn't started off too well.
13:38 Honey, the dinner's burned.
13:40 I hope you like hot dogs and beans.
13:44 I thought we could sit in a buffet and everybody serve themselves.
13:46 Does that sound all right, Joyce?
13:51 Well, I'd like you to meet Wheeler.
13:53 Wheeler, this is Joyce.
14:01 Wheeler!
14:08 This is Joyce Bennett.
14:10 Hi.
14:13 Anyway, Joyce, this is Wheeler.
14:18 This is Joyce Bennett.
14:19 I know.
14:21 I'll get the food.
14:23 Is there anything I can do to help your wife, you stranger?
14:29 Why don't you kids get those little TV tables out and I'll help get the food.
14:36 This is Joyce.
14:38 Hi.
14:50 I think it's going to be all right.
14:53 Of course it's going to be all right.
14:55 Now that we know she talks.
14:59 She talks all right. She chatted all the way over here.
15:03 Do you think that kid would have manners enough to stand up when he's introduced?
15:07 He's a sleepyhead.
15:09 And he's not that kid.
15:11 He happens to be your nephew.
15:21 What are they doing?
15:22 Walking around in circles with those TV tables.
15:26 Get away from the door, sweet. I don't see you.
15:31 She sure is a nice kid.
15:33 She certainly is.
15:36 Do you think she likes him?
15:38 Well, I think it's just as important that he like her.
15:48 Honey, you all right?
15:49 Oh, brother.
15:51 Are you all right, honey?
15:52 Do you have to dynamite your way through the house?
15:54 Honey, I'm fine.
15:56 Oh, it's candy.
15:57 Oh, I'm sorry. It was my fault, anyhow.
16:00 Oh, honey, that was a nasty crack. You sure you're all right?
16:04 I'm glad if a loose nose, I'm as good as new.
16:17 Sorry I lost my temper, son.
16:19 That's all right, Uncle Gus.
16:23 Are you sure you're all right, Vicki?
16:25 Oh, I'm fine.
16:29 I just wouldn't want to hurt you.
16:35 Well, that goes double.
16:38 I will.
16:40 Be real polite with Joyce, will you?
16:42 I will.
16:52 Come and get it.
17:11 Maybe Joyce doesn't want quite so much, Wheeler.
17:14 This isn't for...
17:17 Here.
17:19 I'm sorry it isn't fancy, but...
17:21 I know. Mrs. Angel burned the other day.
17:28 I'm sorry Wheeler didn't get to meet your folks a little earlier this evening.
17:31 They'll meet him when they pick me up.
17:33 Oh, that's right.
17:42 We had a lovely visit with your mother and dad the other night, Joyce.
17:51 Blood, anybody?
18:07 Well, Wheeler was telling us all about mutons the other night, Joyce.
18:13 I think maybe we're going to have a scientist in the family.
18:15 That'll be great.
18:17 I hear they're shipping all of them to Pakistan.
18:21 That's why I'm considering science.
18:23 Boy, you get to be a barber, an insurance man, or some stale thing like that, and you can go anywhere.
18:38 I'll get the milk.
18:45 I'll be all right. Let's not talk about it.
18:47 Whatever you say.
18:50 Honey, will you do me a favor?
18:52 Tell that kid to stop talking about insurance.
18:54 You know, Joyce, there's nobody as cool as you know.
18:57 You mean Marvelator?
19:01 What can she do about it?
19:03 He sits as far away from her as he can get.
19:06 Maybe it's better that way.
19:09 That way he can't slash anything on her.
19:14 I'm sorry, but the better the cop means more to you than your own flesh and blood.
19:22 By marriage.
19:38 You getting enough to eat, Joyce?
19:48 Oh, that'll look darling on you.
19:50 Maybe with a little white around here.
19:52 Flip.
19:58 Peter, maybe if you ate a little more quietly I could hear what Joyce is saying.
20:03 She said flip.
20:05 Oh.
20:12 I, uh, I don't believe we're going to make that movie.
20:15 That's okay. Joyce's old man said he'd be by for early.
20:19 Joyce's father.
20:21 That's what I said.
20:24 How does the stove work?
20:28 What does Joyce's father do with our stove?
20:30 I fixed it.
20:31 You see, you weren't getting enough oxygen to the oven.
20:33 So I took the pliers.
20:35 Oh, you burned our stove.
20:36 What time are Joyce's folks coming by?
20:39 Early.
20:42 Maybe you can sell Joyce's old man that party tonight.
20:45 That's Joyce's father.
20:47 No.
20:58 Just keep eating.
20:59 Don't talk.
21:02 Joyce, I'm...
21:14 You're right.
21:15 I'll be all right.
21:17 Honey, I know he deserves it, but don't you dare belt that boy.
21:22 I won't.
21:24 If you promise not to belt the girl.
21:29 I'm afraid the Bennett account is out the window.
21:31 I know.
21:33 Don't you care?
21:34 No, you were right.
21:36 Blood is thicker than Bennett's daughter.
21:44 Don't move anybody.
21:45 I'll get it.
21:52 Hi, little baby.
21:54 Hi, Mom.
21:55 Hello, honey.
21:56 Come on, I want you to meet my nephew.
21:58 Wheeler, this is Mrs. Bennett.
22:00 Hi, there, Wheeler.
22:01 Hi.
22:02 Where's Daddy?
22:03 Oh, the car growled back at him, so he's off looking under the hood before we call the auto club.
22:09 Maybe I could help.
22:10 Wait a minute, don't.
22:15 Gee, it was exciting.
22:17 No, it was exciting.
22:19 Oh, Mom, he's the most perfectly marvelous boy.
22:22 He's going to be a scientist and go to Pakistan.
22:24 And he's done some funniest things you ever heard.
22:26 He fixed the stove so that Mrs. Angel burned the dirt.
22:28 And she fixed an even better one in five minutes flat.
22:37 And seriously, he's going to teach me how to play golf if we can use Daddy's club.
22:41 I'm just not going to have a minute while he's here.
22:46 All I heard them say was hi.
22:50 Isn't this fantastic?
22:52 Sounds like you had a large evening.
22:55 Thank you, Mrs. Angel.
22:56 I've had a perfectly marvelous time.
22:58 Real flimsy.
23:02 Oh, then you love the dress.
23:05 Get a priest in the kitchen, Wheeler.
23:09 Oh, Mrs. Bennett.
23:10 Oh, hello.
23:11 Was that Mr. Bennett up front with Wheeler?
23:13 Yes, yes.
23:14 Wheeler's helping him fix his car.
23:19 Stop the raging, borrow that job, Mr. Bennett.
23:20 You'll have a real bomb.
23:21 I'll think about it, Wheeler.
23:23 Hi, Vicki.
23:24 Hi, Gus.
23:25 Hi, Charlie.
23:26 Say, this one you got here is a real mechanical genius.
23:28 He fixed the car?
23:30 No, but he had sense enough to admit that he couldn't.
23:35 Say, why don't you tell me you had my insurance program all mapped out?
23:38 I have to find it out from Wheeler here.
23:40 But Wheeler doesn't--
23:41 Uncle Gus, I promise Mr. Bennett I'd drive him home.
23:43 Come on, we'd better get started.
23:44 Why don't I drive you home, Charlie?
23:46 You said I could, Uncle Gus.
23:47 Daddy, we need your golf club service fee.
23:49 All right, honey.
23:50 Stop by the office.
23:51 We'll talk about that insurance.
23:53 After missing the wheel, I'm afraid to wait.
23:55 [laughter]
23:58 See you, Charlie.
23:59 OK.
24:00 We'll make it Monday, huh?
24:01 All right, fine.
24:02 Good night, Vicki.
24:03 Night, at Boxer.
24:04 Wonderful.
24:06 Goodbye.
24:07 Honey, I'd better go along.
24:09 That kid treats insurance like it was Halloween.
24:11 [laughter]
24:13 Uncle Gus, you almost flew us.
24:15 I got a motor.
24:16 I scared the daylights out of him.
24:18 [laughter]
24:22 Kid can't sell insurance?
24:24 Well, don't tell Charlie Bennett that till he signs.
24:27 [laughter]
24:29 Hey, he did come to the point with Bennett at that.
24:32 He certainly did.
24:35 Yeah.
24:36 He's quite a boy.
24:38 Well, he sure is.
24:41 Well, well, well.
24:43 That's my nephew.
24:44 [laughter]
24:47 Yes, sir.
24:49 And he's due back in Biloxi by Saturday.
24:53 Limp.
24:55 [laughter]
24:57 [music]
25:07 Got a date with an angel.
25:09 Gone to meet her at seven.
25:12 Got a date with an angel.
25:14 And I'm on my way to heaven.
25:43 Ladies and gentlemen, your Plymouth dealer invites you to watch the Lawrence Welk program's top tunes and new talent on this same network.
25:50 And the dramatic show Climax every week on another network.
25:54 Tom Kennedy speaking.
25:56 Good night, everybody.
25:57 [applause]
