That's what D and ends with T, that's DREF. The greatest sun discovery in 2000 years. DREF brings you the life of Riley. DREF, D-R-E-F-T. DREF, Fractern Gamble's sensing miracle for washing souks, woolens, nylon dishes presents the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.

Every once in a while, Chester Ray Riley comes to the conclusion that he's losing the love of his wife's pick. This time our story starts with a chair. An old quarter-eyed covered Morris chair, which Riley's mother gave them 17 years ago for a wedding present.

Every evening Riley was a sigh of satisfaction with settled down in these old Morris chairs. Ah, darn that spring. Poor Morris is getting old. And then a few days ago Riley had a birthday and his wife presented him with a brand new chair, a modern one covered in leather and equipped with the latest style air cushion.

Ah, she's a lucky woman. Today's fast and Riley was a happy man, secure in the knowledge that his wife adored him. Until one night, Riley and his wife and their neighbor, Jim Gillis, were on their way home from the movie.
