Harold Perry show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now, Harold Perry, as honest Harold the homemaker. Well, let's look in on the little town of Melrose Springs, home of that popular radio entertainer, Honest Harold the homemaker.

We find Harold preparing to play a new role today. His friend Pete the Marshall has to leave town, and Harold has agreed to take his place at the jail for the day. The moment our Marshall Pro Tem has just finished a hearty breakfast and is ready to leave home to be sworn in.

Well, how do you like this outfit, mother? Yes, I look like a regular Marshall, huh? Oh, yes. You look very nice, Harold. Thanks. He's got a ten-gallon hat you're wearing. Oh, no. No, I only got five gallons.

But they threw in a grease job. What? Yeah, skip it, mother. Yes, sir. I'll be the law and order in this town today. So watch your stepmother. Don't get in any bingo games. Hehehehehe. Oh hell.

You will be careful guarding all those prisoners. Some of them might be dangerous. Don't you worry, mother. Old Marshall hemp will handle the situation. If anybody tries it... Get this guy, Kapper! How much you have it?

You do, my goodness. Marvin, where do you learn things like that? I think he heard it on that radio program, Mr. Keene Loser of Trace Persons. Oh? Oh? Yeah, never mind. Gee, Harold, wouldn't it be swelters or bank robbery today?
