Synopsis by Hal Erickson
On this Red Skelton Show from December 2, 1958, Marvin Kaplan joins Red Skelton in a rewritten reprise of a sketch that the two actors performed on Skelton's TV show back in 1956. This time around, Army private Bolivar Shagnasty (Red) tries to arrange a date between his shy buddy (Marvin) and a ravishing beauty (Joanne Dru). It doesn't faze Bolivar in the least that the girl is the sweetheart of his bone-crushing top sergeant-after all, Marvin's the one who'll get all the lumps.
