Well brings you the life of Riley. The shampoo that removes unsightly dandruff in as little as three minutes and leaves hair radially clean, radially lovely, presents the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley.
And a visit from your favorite, Red Schelvins! More clothing father than Chester A. Riley would be hard to find, especially when it comes to his teenage daughter, Babs. No mother hand ever plucked so anxiously over a young chick.
And whenever Riley starts plucking, as he's doing right now, it means only one thing. He's going to lay a big egg. Hey, hey. Oh hello Riley, I didn't hear you come in. Hey, call a doctor quick.
Riley, what's happened? Is it Junior? He's been in an accident? Hey, call a psychiatrist right away. Oh, it's for you. I'll lie down dear, you'll snap out of it. And you'll just have to give up that riveting job.
It's not for me, it's for babes. I was passing her room just now. What's wrong with babes? Well, come here, you'll see for yourself. Well, what's the matter is she... Listen, and babes' room. Oh, Tom, it's sweet of you to ask me to be your wife, but I can't think of marriage just yet.
My career comes first. Of course, I'd be glad to wear your brass pin and go to the dance with you and drive around and you're convertible, but let's not talk about marriage. For a while.
You hear that? Well... There's no one in the room with her. She's talking to herself. And what's worse, she's calling herself Tom. What of it? She's forgotten she's a girl. This can get her into big trouble.
