Well Father's Day will be here any minute. The day on which Chester A. Riley, like millions of other fathers, finally comes into his own. At the moment neither Riley nor his wife are at home, and his children, Babs and Junior, are cooking up a surprise that dear Daddy will never forget.

Hello! Mendoza's clothing shop. Oh, Mr. Mendoza, this is Babs Riley. Yes? My brother and I decided to buy that blue-served suit we picked out for my father. Alright, send your puppy in an aisle all to the zoo to fit it.

Oh, no, we can't do that. It's a surprise for Father's Day. Couldn't you alter it without him? Well, eh, has he got another suit? Oh, yes. Alright, bring that suit over. Now get his measurements from that.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Mendoza. I'll be right over. Tell Lord the Taylor say. We'll take him one of Dad's suits so he can get the exact measurements for the alteration. Oh, that's a great gag. Come on, his old blue suits here in the hall closet.

Oh, here he is on this hanger. I'll run it down to the Taylor and get back before Daddy gets told. Oh boy, we'll pop he knocked over when we hand him a new suit. Oh yeah, especially when he finds out we saved up for it out of our lounge.
