Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Tonight's sketch is titled "Clem and the Merry Widow." Frequent Red Skelton Show supporting players Gerald Mohr and Mary Beth Hughes are cast as Philip and Velma, two crooks who run a lonely-hearts racket which benefits from killing off its clients. The pair's latest sucker: lovelorn hillbilly Clem Kadiddlehopper (Skelton). Also appearing in this February 10, 1959 telecast Jan Arvan in his familiar role of Clem's Paw, and Frank Wilcox as Maloney.
