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 Plymouth.
00:32 Star of the forward look,
00:35 and the Plymouth dealers of America.
00:39 [music]
00:42 The time, eight months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:46 The plot, there's no such thing as a miserable Santa Claus.
00:50 The main character, there's no such...
00:53 well, with one possible exception.
00:57 [music]
01:06 You hold your finger right there, Mr. Finley.
01:09 [music]
01:13 Hi, honey.
01:15 Sweetheart, I had no idea it was that late.
01:19 That's a lot better than traffic.
01:23 Oh, Mr. Finley's just being neighborly. He's helping me wrap Christmas packages.
01:27 Oh, we appreciate you coming up here and always helping Mrs. Angel, Mr. Finley.
01:31 Noel.
01:32 Noel.
01:34 My finger's getting fat, Mrs. Angel.
01:40 Well, that's all right. I got nothing else to do.
01:43 What's for dinner?
01:45 I have some stew on the stove.
01:47 Oh, great.
01:49 Can I clean the stove for you? Stew can be pretty messy.
01:54 The stew is in a pan on the stove, Mr. Finley.
01:57 Oh. Is there something else I can do?
02:00 Well, I don't know what it would be, but thanks anyway.
02:03 That's what they all say. Nobody needs me.
02:06 Why, that isn't true, Mr. Finley.
02:09 Yes, it is.
02:11 Well, it is not.
02:12 Yes, it is.
02:13 No, it...
02:16 Mr. Finley, I happen to know that your son counts on you to do chores around the house.
02:21 Well, you're always watering the lawn or doing housework.
02:24 Watering the lawn. Big deal.
02:29 If you feel you don't have enough to do at home, why don't you get a job?
02:32 What kind of a job?
02:35 Well, I'm sure two weeks before Christmas there are a lot of places that need help.
02:38 Give me a for instance.
02:41 Just offhand, it depends on what you can do, I guess.
02:46 When I was a boy, I used to braid buggy whips for the carriage trade.
02:52 Somebody invented a machine.
02:54 I know. They call it the automobile.
02:57 No, they call it a buggy whip braiding machine.
03:03 Sweetheart, Mr. Finley is looking for a job.
03:06 Why?
03:07 He says he doesn't have enough to do at home.
03:09 Well, he's always up here helping us.
03:11 Not much future in that.
03:13 No, I guess not.
03:15 You know, sweetheart, if Mr. Finley had a regular job, he wouldn't have so much time to be helping us.
03:21 Honey, I don't think that...
03:24 Yeah.
03:26 Have you thought about calling Dolly?
03:29 Dolly? Why, sure.
03:31 We have this friend who works at Martindale's department store.
03:34 They're open evenings. I'll call her right after dinner.
03:36 Oh, thanks for the invitation, but I got to get home and cook dinner for my son.
03:41 He'll be wondering where I am.
03:45 Noel.
03:46 Noel.
03:47 Noel.
03:49 Noel.
03:55 Vicki, if he's breathing, we can use him down here, honey.
03:59 Wonderful, and thanks.
04:01 Don't thank me, dear.
04:03 During the Christmas frost, it's Martindale's policy to use anything that can walk, wiggle, or crawl.
04:09 Is it as bad as all that?
04:11 Vicki, you could use a little extra money.
04:14 No, thank you. I've met Mr. Wallace.
04:17 Oh.
04:18 Well, if you think he's revolting normally, you should see him now.
04:21 He's been made floor manager of the toy department, and he actually loves it.
04:25 Well, then he isn't as bad as I thought.
04:27 He loves it for two reasons.
04:30 A, he gets a percentage of the department's cut,
04:33 and B, he gets a chance to be nasty to hundreds of little children.
04:39 Customers are waiting, Mrs. K. Nicky.
04:42 I'm recruiting Mr. Wallace.
04:44 In that case, go right ahead. Let him wait.
04:48 All right, Vicki, have your friend down here first thing in the morning.
04:51 I will, darling, and thanks a million.
04:53 Bye, dear.
04:54 Bye.
04:55 Mr. Wallace, I got another--oh, another victim for you.
04:59 He'll be down tomorrow.
05:01 Oh.
05:03 If I hear just one more fa-la-la, I won't be responsible.
05:08 Mr. Wallace, doesn't Christmas mean anything to you at all?
05:11 Oh, let's not get maudlin.
05:14 What about this man?
05:16 His name is Finley, and he got old without any help from you.
05:23 Holy Santa Claus.
05:27 I'll put Spencer back in shipping where he belongs.
05:30 He's a miserable Santa Claus.
05:32 Mr. Wallace, there is no such thing as a miserable Santa Claus.
05:37 Oh, now, don't you go soft on me.
05:40 It's Christmas.
05:41 That's exactly what I mean, Mrs. K. Nicky.
05:43 This is the time when Martindales are supposed to make a little money.
05:47 Tell me something, Mr. Wallace.
05:49 Is the first dolly you ever made hanging on your wall?
05:52 Naturally not.
05:54 It's where it belongs, in the bank, drawing interest.
05:59 What a lovely sentiment.
06:01 If I don't look out for myself, who will?
06:04 I respect money because it's--
06:06 Little girl, put that down!
06:08 Little girl!
06:10 Good morning, you merry Christmas.
06:21 Don't let Mr. Wallace hear you say that around here.
06:24 Merry Christmas?
06:25 Even good morning ties him in knots.
06:29 He can't be as bad as all that.
06:31 He's worse.
06:33 Where's the new boy you were going to bring down?
06:37 Well, he's not very new, but he's so anxious to be of help.
06:41 Woo, woo, woo!
06:46 Well, well, here's Casey Jones.
06:50 Glad to know you, Mr. Jones.
06:52 My name's Finley.
06:56 Hello, Mr. Wallace.
06:58 This is the man I told Dolly about.
07:00 Oh, I'm Mrs. Angel.
07:01 Look, in spite of what you did to Martindales last time,
07:04 I'd like to offer you a job as a salesman.
07:07 Now, at first, it won't be--
07:08 Oh, no, thank you, Mr. Wallace.
07:09 No, but Mr. Finley here is very anxious to do something useful.
07:12 Oh, yes, I am, Mr. Jones.
07:14 But if my boy shows up, throw him out.
07:18 Why, Mr. Finley?
07:19 Well, when I told him I was going to work down here,
07:21 he had one of his tantrums.
07:23 He's a spoiled brat.
07:26 A kid like that ought to be spanked and sent to bed.
07:29 He's 37.
07:30 Huh?
07:32 You should have said something, Mr. Finley.
07:33 We wouldn't have taken Mr. Wallace's time.
07:35 Mr. Finley has a perfect right to make up his own mind.
07:39 Do you want a job?
07:41 Yes, I do.
07:42 Well, come on.
07:44 Get away from those trains.
07:57 Mr. Wallace is nice to him.
07:59 Would you say that Mr. Finley is just a few points off magnetic north?
08:06 He just takes everything literally, that's all.
08:09 Maybe you could explain to Mr. Wallace that he's a sweet old man.
08:13 Everybody in the neighborhood just loves him.
08:15 And that he ought to be given the kind of job where he'll feel he's needed.
08:19 That would touch Mr. Wallace so deeply, he'd fire him on the spot.
08:24 What does Mr. Wallace have planned for him?
08:26 You'll see.
08:27 Oh, excuse me.
08:44 Well, Mr. Finley.
08:46 Mrs. Angel, where is my father?
08:48 He tells me you've embroiled him in some enterprise in this store.
08:51 I must forbid it.
08:53 Well, he asked for a job and I helped him get one.
08:56 I had no idea you'd object.
08:58 I do not object, I forbid.
09:01 Mrs. Angel, willy-nilly, you have upset the entire routine of my life.
09:05 I can assure you I need my father at home.
09:09 Well, Mr. Finley, I think that's just wonderful.
09:11 Have you ever told him that in so many words?
09:14 I have told him repeatedly that when I come home, he must have my supper ready for me.
09:20 Oh, I see.
09:22 Well, doesn't it matter to you that he wants to do something useful?
09:26 There is nothing more useful to me than having my supper ready for me.
09:31 Now, where is he?
09:33 At this moment, I can truthfully tell you I don't know.
09:36 Mrs. Angel, your attitude strikes me as one completely lacking cooperation.
09:41 Now, will you please tell me where he is?
09:44 He went that way.
09:49 You just described a 180-degree arc.
09:53 Did I?
09:55 I will find him myself.
09:59 Mrs. Angel, it pains me to discover that you have absolutely no Christmas spirit.
10:05 What?
10:09 Ho, ho, ho.
10:11 Thank you.
10:18 Ho, ho, ho.
10:20 No.
10:22 Ho, ho, ho.
10:25 Ho, ho, ho.
10:28 Can't you do anything with him?
10:30 He sounds like he's coughing.
10:32 I am. It's hot in here.
10:35 You're a beautiful Santa.
10:37 I hope the children like me.
10:39 Oh, they will.
10:41 Oh, incidentally, your son is very upset about your being here.
10:45 That's tough.
10:46 Where do I work, Mr. Jones?
10:48 Mr. Watt.
10:50 Never mind. Right over here.
10:52 Oh, and for heaven's sake, work on your ho, ho, ho's.
10:57 Now, get away from these trains.
11:00 Ho, ho, ho.
11:05 Well, I guess I can't be mother hen to him all day.
11:09 Well, I'll try to keep an eye on him.
11:11 Where are you headed?
11:12 The bank.
11:13 We have a list of presents a mile long.
11:15 Gus and I are going to get some gifts and toys for the nieces and nephews later on.
11:20 Well, I hope he lasts out the day.
11:22 I know how Mr. Wallace can be.
11:24 I'm hoping Christmas will catch up with him.
11:26 Maybe today's the day.
11:29 Mama, Mama!
11:31 Come back here, you little delinquent.
11:33 Come here.
11:34 That's a display.
11:36 [laughter]
11:40 [music]
11:47 How would you like to have an income of $500 a month for the rest of your life?
11:53 Someone will win $500 a month for the rest of his or her life.
11:59 That's the grand prize in the most exciting contest ever held,
12:03 Plymouth's Money Ahead Contest.
12:06 And listen to these added prizes.
12:09 Two brand-new Money Ahead Plymouths will be given away each week,
12:13 plus 450 other valuable prizes.
12:17 Now, here is what Plymouth's Money Ahead Contest is all about.
12:21 You simply solve a scrambled word puzzle.
12:24 Place the letters in their correct order,
12:26 and they spell out one of the Money Ahead features of the new Plymouth.
12:30 For example, the answer to this puzzle is "Money Ahead."
12:35 The name of the contest.
12:36 It's just as simple as that.
12:38 Loads of family fun.
12:40 So go into your Plymouth dealer tomorrow.
12:43 Pick up your entry blank.
12:45 There's nothing to buy, no obligation of any kind.
12:48 And while you're there, take a look at that brand-new Plymouth.
12:52 If you buy one now and win a Plymouth in the contest,
12:55 you get double your money back.
12:58 So get to your Plymouth dealers right away.
13:00 The sooner you enter, the better your chances.
13:03 Get in on Plymouth's Money Ahead Contest tomorrow.
13:07 [applause]
13:12 [music]
13:25 Wallace in toys.
13:27 Send me up three dozen more dolls number 71,
13:30 two dozen train sets number 12X,
13:32 and all the model airplanes you've got.
13:35 We've finally got a Santa Claus here stirring up a little business.
13:40 Ho, ho, ho.
13:42 Merry Christmas.
13:44 Next.
13:45 [music]
13:54 I was told that my father worked in this department.
13:56 His name is Finley, as is mine.
13:58 I see.
13:59 I want him removed.
14:00 Finley, Finley, Finley.
14:03 I was told he was here.
14:05 Finley, of course.
14:06 Tropical fish, second floor.
14:08 [laughter]
14:14 Personnel told me he was here.
14:16 Well, he isn't.
14:18 [music]
14:28 Are you lost, little girl?
14:31 I said, are you lost, little girl?
14:37 What is your name?
14:41 Is she lost?
14:43 She doesn't answer.
14:44 Perhaps she's a foreigner.
14:46 [speaking foreign language]
14:49 That means, are you lost?
14:51 That means, what's your name?
14:55 Now, I assume you have departments to take care of situations like this.
14:58 I must find my father.
15:01 For goodness sake, little girl, I have other things to do here.
15:05 Just tell me your name so I can find your stupid--
15:08 so I can find your mother.
15:12 I'd like to have you meet my husband.
15:14 This is Mr. Wallace.
15:15 How do you do?
15:16 How do you do, sir?
15:17 Well, hi there.
15:19 What's your name, sweetheart?
15:21 Peter.
15:22 Huh?
15:23 Well, are you lost?
15:25 Where's your mommy?
15:27 Lost?
15:30 Well, we'll help you find her.
15:32 Don't you worry, sweetie.
15:34 What's your last name, honey?
15:36 773 Los Angeles.
15:42 Mrs. Katie.
15:43 Hi, Gus.
15:44 Welcome to Happy Happy Land.
15:46 We've got another lost child, Mrs. Katie.
15:49 Make the usual announcements.
15:50 Her name is Susan.
15:52 Susan.
15:53 Thank you.
15:55 We've got a lost little girl named Susan.
15:57 Will Susan's mother please pick her up in Santa Claus Land?
16:01 They ought to be kept on a leash.
16:03 Do you know that 50%--
16:05 now get away from those shades!
16:09 He hates any human being under 4'3".
16:13 All right, Susan, let's go see Santa Claus and wait for mommy.
16:18 Oh, well, I'll take her, darling.
16:20 I want to see how Mr. Finley's doing anyway.
16:22 Oh, he's doing fine.
16:24 He is?
16:25 We've moved three times as many things today as we did yesterday.
16:28 I'll start looking around for some presents for the kids.
16:30 Where do you keep the nephew-type toys?
16:32 Out of reach.
16:35 All right, Susan, you go with Vicki, dear.
16:37 Come on, darling.
16:39 Oh, darling, how will I know Susan's mother when I see her?
16:42 She'll be spanking Susan.
16:45 No, she won't.
16:46 I've been explaining the whole thing to her.
16:48 Bye.
16:49 Bye.
16:50 I'll see you later.
16:51 Come on, darling, we can't stop.
16:52 We're going to find your--
16:54 Oh, Susan, look at her.
16:58 Isn't that a cute--
17:00 And look, her little dress all in snaps there.
17:04 And here's her little bonnet.
17:06 And here's your petticoat.
17:09 Oh.
17:11 And here's your slippers.
17:12 And here's her price tag.
17:18 You two little girls mustn't keep Santa waiting.
17:22 Sorry.
17:23 Come on, darling.
17:25 Merry Christmas.
17:26 Ho, ho, ho.
17:30 You've been a good little girl.
17:32 Oh, Santa, here's-- oh, I'm sorry.
17:35 Here's a little dolly for you.
17:37 Merry Christmas.
17:38 Ho, ho, ho.
17:41 Santa, this is Susan.
17:44 Sweetheart, this is Santa Claus.
17:46 Do you know him?
17:48 Why, we're old friends.
17:50 Yeah, hello, Susan.
17:52 When did you have her?
17:56 We're looking for her mommy.
17:58 Oh.
17:59 Edie, why don't you go down to the end of the line there,
18:01 and you can tell Santa what you want, all right?
18:03 I'll be right here.
18:04 All right, next boy.
18:05 Wait a minute, Will.
18:06 Hey, what do you want to have for Christmas, young fella?
18:09 You're not a real Santa Claus.
18:12 Of course not.
18:13 The real Santa's at the North Pole.
18:14 I work for him.
18:15 Oh.
18:16 What do you want for Christmas?
18:18 A train.
18:19 A train.
18:20 Well, now, we'll see about that.
18:23 Yep.
18:24 Can I have it?
18:25 Sure.
18:26 Look what Santa gave me.
18:28 Oh, great.
18:29 OK, Santa, where do I pay for this?
18:32 Since when does Santa Claus charge?
18:35 You mean-- oh, well, Merry Christmas, Santa.
18:40 Ho, ho, ho.
18:41 Is that you, girl?
18:43 Well, well, here's a nice little girl.
18:45 What do you want for Christmas?
18:47 I believe I was next.
18:53 Having fun?
19:07 There's a little hoiten in all of us.
19:09 The freight train won't run.
19:11 Put it back on the track.
19:12 Oh, sure.
19:13 Oh, uh, it's off the track.
19:23 Naturally, that's why it won't run.
19:25 Mm-hmm.
19:27 It may interest you to know the tropical fish never heard of my father.
19:32 Oh?
19:33 Personnel tells me he works for you.
19:35 Where is he?
19:36 Oh, didn't you know?
19:37 He's Santa Claus.
19:38 He's right over there.
19:39 Well, I'll be right with you.
19:40 Look, you can't take my Santa Claus.
19:42 I need him.
19:43 So do I.
19:46 Merry Christmas.
19:47 Ho, ho, ho.
19:50 Gus, can you-- thank goodness you're here.
19:52 Can you stay with Susan?
19:53 I've got to find Dolly.
19:54 Sure.
19:55 What's up?
19:56 Mr. Finley's giving toys away.
19:57 He can't do that.
19:59 Well, yes, he can.
20:01 Darling, you stay here.
20:02 I-- Uncle Gus will be right over here when you get through talking to Santa.
20:05 Now, I'll be right back until your mommy comes, OK?
20:08 OK.
20:09 Bye.
20:10 Father, I want to talk to you.
20:18 Go to the end of the line, sonny.
20:23 I want to talk to you right now.
20:25 We must take a turn.
20:26 That's the only fair way.
20:29 Father?
20:32 Here's a dolly for you.
20:35 Next.
20:39 Is there a little girl named Susan here?
20:42 Oh, yes, ma'am, right there.
20:46 Hello, Susan.
20:48 Honey, your mother's looking all over for you.
20:51 Come along.
20:52 Ah, can't she wait to see Santa?
20:53 She's next.
20:54 Oh, I guess so.
20:57 Thank you.
21:00 Let me see your sales book, Mrs. Gaines.
21:03 We ought to be breaking some sort of a record.
21:06 A bully for us.
21:09 Is this all you've sold?
21:11 Every red cent, including your percentage.
21:14 Well, who's been selling all the dolls and trains?
21:18 Must be one of the other girls, not I.
21:20 Hmm.
21:31 We have some figuring out to do.
21:33 What?
21:34 Mr. Finley's giving away toys.
21:36 The big ones, dolls and trains.
21:38 Oh, we've got to stop him.
21:39 Please don't tell Mr. Wallace yet, but we should be able to figure something out.
21:42 We can't hurt him, dolly.
21:44 Hurt him?
21:45 Mr. Wallace will have him flogged from near the mezzanine.
21:49 Does he know?
21:52 He's finding out awfully fast.
21:55 Three gross dolls, seven dozen trains,
21:59 and fourteen.
22:02 If I didn't know better, I'd swear we were giving this stuff away.
22:06 You are.
22:08 What do you mean, Mrs. Angel?
22:10 Well, Mr. Finley thinks he's Santa Claus.
22:13 He really thinks it.
22:15 So he's giving the toys away.
22:18 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:21 I'll kill him.
22:22 No, please, let him, Mr. Wallace, please.
22:24 He's a good, kind man.
22:26 I just couldn't bear to see him hurt.
22:28 He's being good and kind with Martindale property.
22:32 But he has no idea he's doing anything wrong.
22:35 My husband and I don't have much money, but...
22:37 Why, I wouldn't let you pay for it if you offered.
22:40 It's his mistake, and he'll take the consequences.
22:43 Oh, please, Mr. Wallace, maybe if you just told him not to do it anymore.
22:47 Oh, he'll be told, all right.
22:49 That's not all he'll be told.
22:51 Mr. Wallace!
22:52 Becky, no use.
22:54 Look, I think I've got an idea.
22:56 I'll call Mr. Martin.
22:58 Sometimes you don't see what you think you see.
23:06 Actually, there is only one girl in this picture.
23:09 The reason you see several is because of a neat trick with mirrors.
23:13 Tricks are used to create an impression or illusion.
23:17 But there are no tricks about the new Plymouth.
23:21 It's exactly as you see it.
23:23 America's most advanced styled car.
23:26 Its clean, uncluttered beauty stands as a fitting symbol of automobile styling perfection.
23:32 From impressive new front end, with that custom car luxury look,
23:38 along its low, sweeping silver dart lines,
23:42 here is styling that will stay new for years to come.
23:45 And only Plymouth in its field has the riding superiority of torsion air suspension.
23:51 The most advanced, complete suspension system in use today.
23:56 It's yours at no extra cost in every new Plymouth.
23:59 Now add to this all of Plymouth's many other sensational new features,
24:03 and you'll see why there's no catching Plymouth now.
24:07 Plymouth is ahead for keeps.
24:10 And remember, be sure to see your Plymouth dealer tomorrow
24:13 for your entry blank in Plymouth's gigantic Money Ahead contest.
24:18 The grand prize is $500 a month for the rest of your life.
24:24 And you may be the winner.
24:27 [applause]
24:30 Ho, ho, ho.
24:32 You do that good.
24:34 Thank you, Ryan. I do my best.
24:36 I want to talk to you.
24:38 Go to the end of the line, Mr. Jones.
24:40 [laughter]
24:42 You want a dolly?
24:44 Yes, sir. Here's a dolly for you.
24:47 Thank you.
24:48 Don't thank me. Thank Mr. Jones.
24:51 He made a deal with Santa Claus.
24:55 Thank you, Mr. Jones.
24:58 [music]
25:10 You know, Sonny, you're making a lot of children mighty happy.
25:13 There ought to be more people like you in this world.
25:17 [music]
25:23 Well, that's that.
25:25 I guess Mr. Martindale's out spying on the May Company.
25:29 Maybe we could try once more to make Mr. Wallace understand.
25:33 The only thing Mr. Wallace understands is compound interest.
25:38 Losing his job is what's going to hurt Mr. Finley.
25:41 And getting soaked for all those smackers isn't exactly going to--
25:44 Hey, come on. Come on. Come on.
25:47 [music]
26:02 Accounting Department. Wallace in toys.
26:05 You're going to find the shortage of about $400 in my department.
26:09 No, no. Nothing like that.
26:11 Don't be concerned. It'll be covered.
26:13 I'll give you my personal check for the full amount.
26:16 [music]
26:34 And this is for you. Merry Christmas.
26:37 Ho, ho, ho. Next.
26:40 [music]
26:47 I will stand, Father.
26:49 What did you wish to say to me?
26:51 Father, I--this--
26:56 I'll drive you home in the car when you're through work.
26:59 Fine. Be a good boy, Sonny.
27:04 I'll try.
27:06 [laughter]
27:08 I hate to go without at least thanking Mr. Wallace.
27:11 That was a very nice thing he did.
27:13 Yeah, but the worst thing you could do is let Mr. Wallace know you found out he's soft-hearted.
27:17 Oh, we'll see you later, darling.
27:19 Bye. Merry Christmas.
27:20 Oh, we'll see you before then.
27:21 Okay. Bye.
27:23 [music]
27:26 Mr. Wallace.
27:28 Merry Christmas.
27:30 Oh, me?
27:31 Oh, well, Merry Christmas, both of you.
27:34 [music]
27:36 Now, will you kids please play with the trains?
27:41 [laughter]
27:43 [music]
28:04 Merry Christmas, darling.
28:06 [music]
28:26 [singing]
