Right for Blyley, starring William Benvix as Blyley. 29 days a month, Chester A. Riley worked for the machine, dressed in a pair of Blyley overall. But one day a month, he gets a chance to play the part of an executive.

And that's why today we find him seated at the kitchen table, which has now become a desk, answering his first of the month male. The only male who will Blyley ever get. His daughter Babs is acting as a secretary.

Now let's see. Hmm. Quite a lot of males, it's much. Alright, you got your pad and pencil ready, Miss Raleigh. If you want to get experience as a secretary, don't you? Well, yes, I'd like.

You're going to give use to the idea of being called Miss Raleigh. When you get a real job, what do you expect your boss to call you? Bad, honey? Ah, the band's on the bus.

If he's tall, dark and handsome. Oh, well, yeah, don't get any fancy ideas. You may wind up taking direction from a board to a short, fat and ugly. So, get use to the idea right now.

Take a letter. Hi, I'm Eddie. I see it's the cards from the Columbia Roof Company. What do they want? Yes sir, unless you pay us the $12 you owe us for repair to your roof, we shall place the matter in the hands of our attorneys.

They've got their nerve, those fake frauds, those cheap chisels, those conniving crooks. Take a letter. Gentlemen, five years ago when I gave you the job to fix my roof, I suspected you were a bunch of crooks who couldn't do an honest job of work.
