Lee Aaker, who played Rusty on the old TV adventure series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, is Red Skelton's guest on this broadcast from February 3, 1959. In the comedy sketch "Cauliflower and the Kidnapers," washed-up prizefighter Cauliflower McPugg (Red) is hired to "toughen up" the pantywaist son (Aaker) of wealthy Mrs. Van Owen. McPugg ends up rescuing the boy from kidnapers, but not before taking a few lumps and hearing "them little birdies" in his brain.
