synopsis
In the conclusion of a two-part story (originally telecast as a single hour-log special), Mel (Vic Tayback) loses the diner in a Las Vegas crap game. His only chance to regain his property is to arrange for Robert Goulet to sing at a rundown hotel owned by cagey casino manager Joe Capri (Lou Criscuolo). Not surprisingly, Mel doesn't deliver, obliging Alice (Linda Lavin)--disguised in male drag as Mr. Goulet--to appear in his place. The episode's highlight finds "the Two Bobs" singing a duet!
