The life of Riley, starring William Benedict as Riley. Chester A. Riley is more than a husband than father. He's a brother. A loving brother dedicated to finding a husband for his unmarried sister Cecilia. Hey, Pop, what's burning?
Nothing's burning, Junior. Well, I smell something. Oh, that's perfume. I'm spraying it around. Perfume with a flit gun? Yes. Stemberg. Oh, what is that stuff, Pop? It's perfume. You see, what would you insist he's still being single?
Well, Otto Schmidlapp is calling out of tonight, and I think he's ready to pop the question. When he gets a snoot full of his perfume, he'll be in the mood. It's kind of strong. Yeah, it better be.
It's the latest thing from Paris. You're only five in ten told me. And it's expensive to a dollar a quart. Stand back, Junior. I want to spray the couch. Pop, are you sure that's perfume in that foot gun?
Of course it's perfume. Of course it's perfume. Well you're killing all the flies with it. Aaah! Just swoonin' with love. That's what's gonna happen out of it tonight. Uh, put the lights on, Junior. Okay.
Hey, something's wrong. Only one light is burning. Mm-hmm. Well, sure. I unscrewed all the other boats. More romantic this way. And that's all I did. Sit down on the couch, Junior. On the end. Here?
Yeah. Go on, sit down. Okay. What's wrong? Move over in the middle. Mm-hmm. See, stop. Same thing with the other end. I fixed the springs that way. Now, Sissy and Otto have to sit in the middle, close together.
Oh, that Otto won't get away tonight. But, and Sissy doesn't like Otto. She likes Hugo Harary. That's a loafer? I bet you'd rather marry him. I like Hugo better, too. Okay, you can marry Hugo, but Sissy's gonna marry Otto.
