Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Amanda Blake takes time off from her Gunsmoke duties to appear opposite Red Skelton in this broadcast from March 26, 1963. In the comedy sketch "Frontier Coward," ineffectual Sheriff Deadeye (Red) is replaced by square-shooting Widow Jenkins (Amanda). Singer Bobby Rydell plays Billy the Kid, then performs a medley of "Hello Young Lovers", "Ciao Ciao Bambina" and "My Coloring Book". In the Silent Spot, Red and Marie Roe satirize the famous dancing duo Arthur and Katherine Murray.
