Vincent Price joins Red Skelton for Red's final program of the 1961-62 season-and his final half-hour show before launching The Red Skelton Hour in September 1962. In the comedy sketch "Cauliflower Loses His Birds", punchdrunk boxer Cauliflower seeks out a cure for the "little birdies" that he hears inside his head. While waiting in the outer office of a psychatrist, McPugg makes the acquaitance of Mr. Gould (Price)-who's an even bigger "birdbrain" than he! Originally scheduled to air on April 3, 1962, "Cauliflower Loses His Birds" was postponed until June 26 due to the death of real-life boxer Benny "Kid" Paret during a televised fight.
