Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The gifted comic actor Severn Darden serves up his best Orson Welles imitation in this, the final episode of Laverne & Shirley's second season. Darden is cast as Charles Pfister Krane, Milwaukee's most famous and wealthiest show-biz impresario. Insisting that anyone could be made a star under his tutelage, Krane transforms Laverne (Penny Marshall) and Shirley (Cindy Williams) into a musical duo called--what else?--The Rosebuds. Stars Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams perform The Crystals' "Da Do Ron-Ron" (and never mind that this episode allegedly takes place in 1959, several years before the song was written).
