This program begins with Red demonstrating how different people read magazines at a newsstand, including Look Magazine, a condensed periodical, a Yachting magazine, and a Detective publication. The dance team of Allan and Ashton perform a routine. The first Skelton Scrapbook of Satire, titled "The Eyes Have It", finds boxer Cauliflower McPugg reporting for an eye exam. This skit eventually ends in a Tide commercial. The second Skelton Scrapbook of Satire reveals Freddie the Freeloader, a pickpocket in the early days of the series, trying to mooch a free operation at a hospital.

An opening skit, titled "The Newstand", displays Red showing how different people peruse periodicals from a news vendor, such as Look Magazine, a condensed publication like the Readers Digest, a Yachting magazine, and a Detective mystery. The dance team of Allan and Ashton perform. The Skelton Scrapbook of Satire, called "The Eyes Have It", shows what happens when Cauliflower McPugg visits an eye doctor. This sketch evolves into a Tide commercial. The final Skelton Scrapbook, simply named "Freddie the Freeloader", features the hobo as a pickpocket - in his early days, Freddie was a panhandler/pickpocket before developing into the lovable scamp of later years.
