One of the few readily available episodes from The Red Skelton Show's 1957-1958 season, this one features a guest appearance by future Rhoda and McMillan and Wife regular Nancy Walker. In the main comedy sketch, Red plays the habitually unemployed Bolivar Shagnasty. Pressured by his girl friend and her mother, Bolivar goes to work at a hair-styling parlor, where his first customer is glamorous movie star Valerie Venton. That's right, folks: somebody is in for a real "treatment!" Thanks to its current Public Domain status, the kinescoped version of this February 4, 1958 episode (which originally aired live and in color) can be purchased from a variety of home-video sources.
