Transcript

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.
