Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Two of Red Skelton's most frequent guest stars, Jackie Coogan and Edward Everett Horton, appear in this episode from January 9, 1962. In a "Freddie the Freeloader" sketch, hoboes Freddie and Muggsy arrive in Palm Springs, hoping to collect their unemployment insurance. There is, however, one little technicality: Freddie has never beenemployed. His efforts to remedy this situation by going to work consume the rest of the half hour.
