The opening sketch has Red playing a barber. Archived newspapers report that Red introduces a new character on the program tonight - George Appleby. Appleby will be a Victor Moore-type adventurer just returned from an African safari who is unhappily feted at a cocktail party. In another skit, Freddie the Freeloader tries to catch a snooze at a department store's Honeymoon Cottage.
