Guest star Vincent Price satirizes his real-life status as an art connoisseur in the comedy sketch "Freddie's Masterpiece." While rummaging through the city dump, Freddie the Freeloader (Red Skelton and his pal Muggsy (Jackie Coogan) find an orginal DaVinci painting. Art expert Mr. Gilbert (Price) would do anything to get his hands on the painting, but Freddie has other plans for his new-found "DaVinkie." Best bit: Entering Gilbert's office, Freddie takes one look at the taciturn art fancier and says "Hmmm-they're buryin' them sittin' down these days." First telecast March 15, 1960, "Freddie's Masterpiece" was rerun on May 1, 1962.
