Sponsor

A visit from "little" Margaret Truman (not the president's daughter). Bob Crosby sings a medley from, "Peter Pan." Jack tries to sleep and is kept up by a dripping faucet. Then two burglars break in (with clever sight gags) and clever set construction). There's even a live tiger hiding in Jack's safe (which opens before its cue). This is a network, sponsored version of cat. #17922. See cat. #112261 for the same script produced on January 1, 1955. Excellent visual condition.
