Transcript

Family Theater presents Bobby Driscoll and John McIntyre. Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater, presents John McIntyre in Mahoney's Lucky Day. To introduce the drama, your host, Bobby Driscoll.

Thank you, Gene Baker. I wish I could express my wonder in delight when I first heard the stories of the Nights at the Round Table and the other tales of Gallop Men of Old. They're shining armor in their prancing steeds.

I always hoped that somewhere they still rode this earth. battling dragons, rescuing damsels in distress, steadfast in the cause of helping the helpless. Well, we're going to tell you the story of a modern knight in shining armor.

His helmet is an old cloth cap, and a rather shabby leather jacket is his armor. His mouth has four wheels and six cylinders, and it belongs to the Purple Taxi Cab Company, Incorporated. But his spirit is the unquenchable spirit of Lassalot and Gallahad, and his faith is equally dauntless.

His name is Mike Mahoney, and with John McIntyre as Mike, We bring you the story of Mahoney's Lucky Day. Are we cakes, Mike? Oh, yeah. Thanks, Viri.

How's the coffee? Oh, fine. Fine. Mike, I want a word with you. That is, if you can tear yourself loose from them funny papers for a couple of minutes. Mike, I'm talking to you. This is terrible. Terrible.

Scandalous would be a better word for it. And I'm glad it's finally come to your lordship's attention. Nora, they got Tracy trapped in the incinerator and pruned face. Gonna let him have it with the atomic pulverizer.

Beats me how I'll ever get out of this one. Michael Mahoney! Yes, Nora, darling. We are about to have a lesson in arithmetic. Now, how much is two from four? Five. Two. Dollars. Very good, very good.
