Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Charles Ruggles and Marie Windsor join Red Skelton in a "Freddie the Freeloader" sketch. Ruggles plays ailing millionaire Mr. Jennings, who while strolling through the park befriends happy hobo Freddie. Jennings invites Freddie to his lavish mansion, where our hero stumbles upon a plot hatched by the millionaire's niece (Windsor) to do away with the old man. Originally scheduled for April 15, 1958, this episode was bumped to May 20, 1958; it was the final first-run episode of The Red Skelton Show's seventh season.
