Wagon Train star Robert Horton shows off his flair for comedy and his musical talents in the April 16, 1963 edition of The Red Skelton Hour. In the comedy sketch "How Green Was My Money," hobo Freddie the Freeloader is investigated by zealous IRS agent Gouger (Horton), who wants to create a "mooch tax." In the musical segment, Horton sings a vast array of Broadway standards, including "Show Me", "This Can't Be Love", "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face", "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" and "There is Nothing Like a Dame." And in the Silent Spot, Red plays a dentist, with diminutive 1930s movie favorite Frankie Darro as his unlucky patient.
