Dennis the Menace star Jay North makes his second appearance on The Red Skelton Show. In a "Freddie the Freeloader" sketch, North plays a wealthy youngster who visits Freddie's shack in the City Dump-then decides to "adopt" the happy hobo. Typical gags include a bit wherein Freddie's fingers are apparently chopped off by a desk drawer; helpfully, Jay North observes "I think the fingers are the ones without erasers." This episode aired October 10, 1961.
