Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRed opens the program with some street scenes of how different people go to work in the morning, such as the energetic type, the tired kind, and a man who just can't leave his lady without loads of hugs and kisses. The first Skelton Scrapbook, titled "Freddie Becomes a Star-Gazer" starts out with a dance number by the Moultrie Brothers (portraying shoeshine boys) who are eventually joined by Freddie the Freeloader, who does a very good dance routine himself. It seems that Freddie has light-fingered a powerful telescope from the observatory and is selling a gaze at the moon for ten cents. While his customers are staring through the telescope, Freddie steals their wallets. One of the victims catches Freddie because the prey turns out to be Fingers Malone, the President of Pickpockets, Inc. As usual, a Tide commercial is integrated into the sketch. The second Skelton Scrapbook, untitled, features Willie Lump Lump returning home at 3:00 a.m. in the back of a milk wagon and trying to get into his house without his key, which he had forgotten to take.
