Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Veteran burlesque and nightclub comedian Joey Faye is Red Skelton's guest on this episode from February 13, 1962. In the comedy sketch "Freddie the Landlord," hoboes Freddie the Freeloader (Red) and Muggsy (Joey) try to raise money for their annual winter trip to Florida. As a means of accumulating a lot of cash in a hurry, Freddie begins renting out his shack in the City Dump. Not surprisingly, things don't quite go according to plan.
