00:24It had been a few weeks since Hoppity Hooper, Fillmore the Bear, or even Professor Waldo Wigglesworth had come up with an ingenious scheme to make money.
00:33Perhaps I'm losing my grip, fella.
00:35Oh, say not so, Uncle Waldo!
00:37But Hoppity, we're down to our last cent!
00:40Our last cent?
00:41Si! You be holding out on me, finster! Hand over that penny!
00:45The name is Fillmore!
00:47What do you want a penny for?
00:48I'm going to put it to good use.
00:50Are you going to open a check and a count?
00:52No, I'm going to weigh myself.

03:42I'm going to weigh myself.
03:44Ouh!
03:46Oh!
03:48That's very good, Fillmore.
03:50That just looks like a big bear
03:52with a sheet over it to me.
03:54What a nonsense!
03:56If it's a real ghost, let's say you walk through it.
03:58Walk through it?
04:00Why should I?
04:02Go on, you phony!
04:04Well, if you insist.
04:06Get ready to run, Fillmore.
04:08The natives are getting restless.
04:10But when Waldo approached the mysterious figure...
04:12My goodness! I did walk through him!
04:14Ghost!
04:20Has Fillmore really turned into a ghost?
04:22Be sure to see our next episode,
04:24Spook Watchers,
04:26or let's join the ghost guard.
04:32We'll return to our program after these messages.
04:36In our last episode,
04:38Waldo went into the ghost-making business.
04:40He disguised Fillmore
04:42by putting a large sheet over him.
04:44But then,
04:46a strange thing happened.
04:48Oh, great Mojombo spirit guide!
04:50Will you please materialize?
04:56Go on!
04:58That looks to me like just a bear
05:00with a sheet over him.
05:02You did that rather well, Fillmore.
05:04Don't scare me!
05:06If it's a real ghost,
05:08why don't you walk through it?
05:10Well, if you insist.
05:12Get ready to run, Fillmore.
05:14The natives are getting restless.
05:16Oh, my goodness!
05:18I did walk through him!
05:22Fillmore! Fillmore, old friend!
05:24I can't believe it!
05:26There he was a couple of minutes ago,
05:28firm, substantial,
05:30and now he's nothing more than an ectoplasm!
05:32Look!
05:34Sorry, old man.
05:36That's Fillmore!
05:38Then you're alive!
05:40Then who is this?
05:42It's a ghost!
05:44I know that, but who is he a ghost of?
05:46Or a ghost of who?
05:48That's whom.
05:50Well, I could be...
05:52Napoleon?
05:54But then again, I could be...
05:56Washington,
05:58Little Winkle,
06:00Caesar, Frankenstein.
06:02I rather like this one, don't you?
06:04I like you the way you were before.
06:06I mean, just simple ectoplasm.
06:08Oh, you humans are all alike.
06:10No imagination.
06:12Or maybe you could just go back to wherever you came from.
06:14But I like it here.
06:16You're not suggesting
06:18you don't approve of my company?
06:20Oh, you misunderstood, Hoppery, Mr. Ghost.
06:22We want you here.
06:24All right, then.
06:26Feeling unwanted just makes me furious.
06:28Oh, I just want to be loved.
06:30You're loved! You're loved!
06:32So it seems that our friends
06:34were stuck with a ghost.
06:36We've got to get rid of this ghost, Fillmore.
06:38It's just unnatural, a grown fox
06:40going around town with a ghost.
06:42Unnatural, heck! It's creepy!
06:44You called?
06:46Say, isn't there a friend of yours over there?
06:50Master Fillmore, I think we've lost him.
06:52Yeah, I don't see him chasing us.
07:02At last, I think we've given him a slip.
07:06Boo?
07:12Hoppery, do something!
07:14We're trying to get away from that ghost.
07:18Boo.
07:20Gee, that was fun.
07:22Now I'll tell you what.
07:24I'll be it, and you chase me.
07:26Can't catch me!
07:28Gone?
07:30But I think he's coming back
07:32when he finds out we ain't gonna chase him.
07:34Fillmore, we've got to think of something
07:36to get rid of him.
07:38I've got it!
07:40We don't know how to get rid of this ghost, right?
07:42And where do people go when they don't know
07:44how to get rid of ghosts?
07:46The Wizard of Oz.
07:48No, the library.
07:50Ah, here it is, in a translation
07:52from the Transylvanian.
07:54It says, take a cane, twirl it three times
07:56over your head, and point it at the ghost.
07:58Then say in a loud, clear voice,
08:00Go away, ghost, we don't want you here.
08:02Don't bother to pack, just disappear.
08:04That makes sense.
08:06Don't know why I didn't think of it.
08:08So Waldo tried out the spell
08:10on their unwelcome visitor.
08:12Go away, ghost, we don't want you here.
08:14Don't bother to pack, just disappear.
08:22The book didn't work, Waldo.
08:24It must have lost something in translation.
08:26Now Waldo, Hoppity and Fillmore
08:28have two ghosts on their hands.
08:30If Waldo keeps this up,
08:32there could be an epidemic.
08:34Tune in to our next episode,
08:36A Haunting We Will Go,
08:38or The Ghost Is Clear.
08:42We'll return to our program after...
08:46Last time, you remember,
08:48our friends were using a spell
08:50to try to get rid of a bothersome ghost.
08:52Waldo went to the library
08:54to look for a ghost.
08:56Waldo waved a cane over his head
08:58three times and said,
09:00Go away, ghost, we don't want you here.
09:02Don't bother to pack, just disappear.
09:08The book didn't work, Waldo.
09:10It must have lost something in translation.
09:12It certainly had.
09:14For now, instead of having one ghost,
09:16our friends had two,
09:18named Wilbur and Claire,
09:20a sort of his and hers.
09:22Put that book away, Waldo.
09:24We're liable to have an epidemic.
09:26No, wait, all is not lost.
09:28We still have Professor Waldo Wigglesworth's
09:30motto to fall back on.
09:32What motto?
09:34If you can't lick them, join them.
09:36We're gonna join the ghosts?
09:38That means we'd have to...
09:40Well, not exactly join them,
09:42use them, is more what I had in mind.
09:44If you can't beat them, use them,
09:46is my motto.
09:48But how?
09:50I've got it!
09:52We can rent them out to haunt people with.
09:54Waldo, that's what I said.
09:56I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
09:58It's natural, everybody has someone they'd like to haunt.
10:00Do you think $10 an hour is too much?
10:04So Waldo went into the haunting business
10:06and took a small ad in the Wisconsin Gazette.
10:08Ghosts for hire,
10:10male and female,
10:12347 years experience in haunting,
10:14spooking and devilment.
10:16Contact Professor Waldo Wigglesworth,
10:18for one, Foggy Bog, Wisconsin.
10:20Overnight, Waldo Wigglesworth's
10:22haunting business was a success.
10:24It was true, it seems.
10:26Everyone did have someone
10:28they wanted to haunt.
10:30Some people haunted their bosses.
10:32Mr. Pearson, I've been with this company
10:34for 25 years,
10:36and I think it's about time I had a raise.
10:38A raise?
10:40Over my dead body, I'll give you a raise!
10:44Would a hundred a week be suitable, my boy?
10:48Thank you, Mr. Pearson.
10:52You certainly did the right thing there, Mr. Pearson.
10:56Miss Benson, I want you to give everyone in the plant
10:58a $10 raise,
11:00and please bring in some bicarbonate of soda.
11:02I'm going to have to cut out these two-hour lunches.
11:04Others haunted their mothers-in-law.
11:08I say don't sit in that chair!
11:10You know that's Mother's favorite chair!
11:12Hello, baby.
11:14It's a ghost!
11:18Stick with me, Wilbur and Claire,
11:20and we'll make millions, millions!
11:22As Waldo continued talking,
11:24he did not notice his old girlfriend,
11:26Susan Swivelhips.
11:28And to complicate matters,
11:30Wilbur at that instant disappeared,
11:32leaving Claire, who had changed
11:34into a dazzling female,
11:36hanging on Waldo's arm.
11:38Waldo Wigglesworth,
11:40who is that woman?
11:42Woman? Oh, you mean Claire!
11:44Susan, I'd like you to meet Wilbur.
11:46Wilbur, where are you?
11:48Claire, where did Wilbur go?
11:50Claire!
11:52I'm waiting, Waldo.
11:54Well, you see, Susan,
11:56Wilbur and Claire are ghosts.
11:58Wilbur just disappeared, and Claire
12:00changed herself into the ravishing creature
12:02you see here.
12:04You must be out of your gourd to expect me
12:06to believe a story like that.
12:10Did you get the license number of that truck
12:12that hit me?
12:14Pardon me, young lady,
12:16but is that old man bothering you?
12:18You can say that again.
12:20You should know better than to try
12:22to attach to a young lady a man
12:24of your years. Come along, miss.
12:28Oh, you poor, poor men.
12:30Well, it's all your fault,
12:32appearing and disappearing,
12:34and now Susan's got on with Wilbur
12:36and won't speak to me.
12:38Don't say it this way.
12:40You've lost a girlfriend,
12:42but you've gained a ghost friend.
12:44Well, Waldo may have
12:46gained a ghost friend,
12:48but what about Susan Swivelhips?
12:50Tune into our next episode,
12:52Who's Haunting Who,
12:54or Which Witch is Which?
12:56We'll return to our program
12:58after these messages.
13:00In our last episode,
13:02Susan Swivelhips chanced upon
13:04Waldo and Claire the ghosts
13:06and became extremely jealous.
13:10Did you get the license number
13:12of that truck?
13:14Pardon me, young lady,
13:16but is this old man
13:18bothering you?
13:20You can say that again.
13:22You should know better than to try
13:24to attach to a young lady a man
13:26of your years. Come along, miss.
13:28Oh, you poor, poor men.
13:30Well, it's all your fault.
13:32Now Susan's got on with Wilbur
13:34and won't speak to me.
13:36Well, look at it this way.
13:38You've lost a girlfriend,
13:40but you've gained a ghost friend.
13:42But I don't want a ghost friend.
13:44I want Susan.
13:46Well, if that's the way
13:48you feel about it.
13:50And then Susan left with Wilbur.
13:52It's maddening, Hoppity,
13:54losing your girlfriend
13:56to an apparition.
13:58But this isn't like you,
14:00Uncle Waldo, giving up
14:02a ghost friend.
14:04I've got it!
14:06I woo her back.
14:08No ghost can match
14:10the Wigglesworth charm.
14:12For you, my lover.
14:14For me?
14:16Or for you.
14:18For you, darling.
14:20For me?
14:22Or for you.
14:24How's it going, Uncle Waldo?
14:26Wonderful. I plied her with flowers
14:28and jewels, and now I'm going
14:30to know how to dance.
14:32I'm an expert of Terpsichore.
14:34The shimmy, turkey trot, shag,
14:36Lambeth walk, the big apple, you name it,
14:38I'll dance it.
14:40But those dances are all out of date, Uncle Waldo.
14:42Nonsense. No classic dance ever goes out of date.
14:44I might even throw in a little cookie to win.
14:48Sure enough, next morning, Waldo had a trophy.
14:50You and Susan won the dance contest?
14:52Well, not exactly.
14:54Wilbur and Susan won that,
14:56but I won the square of the year award.
14:58It's no use, Hoppity.
15:00I know when I'm beaten.
15:02Wilbur, I hope you and Susan will be
15:04very happy together.
15:06You hope who will be happy together?
15:08Susan and Wilbur. They're going to get married.
15:12I don't see that there's any laughing matter.
15:14This is going to be the shortest marriage
15:16in history.
15:18I don't understand.
15:20Well, we ghosts only have the summer amongst you humans,
15:22and then we go back to what we were.
15:24What's that?
15:26You know, when your television isn't working right,
15:28you see a kind of ghostly image.
15:30That's you?
15:32That's us.
15:34But some of us over a week ago, and you're still here.
15:36Well, that's because we weren't given our calling.
15:38Your calling?
15:40Yeah. At the first sound of a bugle,
15:42poof, there we go.
15:44Just an impulse going to thousands of homes
15:46all over the country.
15:48I always wondered how that television worked.
15:50You mean, if Wilbur blew his bugle,
15:52that you and Wilbur would go back
15:54and buy the television sets for good?
15:56Yeah. You see, during summer reruns,
15:58we are given the opportunity to go out
16:00among you humans and...
16:02Fillmore, blow your bugle as you never blew it before.
16:06What's the matter, Fillmore? Blow that thing.
16:08I don't know, Professor.
16:10I just don't seem to be in the mood.
16:12Confound you, Fillmore.
16:14You're always blowing that infernal bugle when it's not wanted
16:16and now when it's a matter of life and death.
16:18Professor, I am an artist.
16:20Then we artists have to have inspiration.
16:22You blow that thing or I'll brain you.
16:24What do you think of that?
16:26It's very inspiring.
16:32Well, here we go, kids.
16:34Back to the land of situation comedy.
16:36And all the news that's fit to see.
16:38Doctor, lawyer, private eye.
16:40Package shows and sponsors buy.
16:42Ratings go up, ratings go down.
16:44But TV ghosts are always around.
16:48This program was brought to you by
16:50This program was brought to you by
16:54Gee, we missed the commercial.
16:56Never mind.
16:58There'll be another one along soon.
17:00On the next episode of
17:02The Adventures of Hoppity Hooper.
17:10It's the law.
17:12Look, dear.
17:14Stereo.
17:16And to think we owe it all
17:18to the Masked Martin.
