[music playing]

- And now, the makers of
Hotpoint home appliances

are happy to bring you a repeat
performance of one of the best

liked of "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family.

Here is Ozzie, who plays
the part of Ozzie Nelson.

And of course his lovely wife,
Harriet, as Harriet Nelson.

The older of the Nelson boys,
David, appears as David Nelson.

And the younger brother,
the irrepressible Ricky,

played by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next door neighbor,
Thorny is played by Don DeFore.

- Oh, hi, Mom.

What are you doing with my bag?
- Is this yours?

- Yes, ma'am.
It's full of all my stuff.

- Yeah, so I hear.
[objects clattering inside bag]

What's the big idea?

- I hope it's OK
with you and Pop,

but I've decided to
become a salesman.

- Oh, that can be a very
interesting vocation.

Of course, like anything else,
it takes years of training,

though.

- I mean just as sort
of like a sideline.

- Oh, you mean later on,
while you're going to college?

- No, ma'am, I mean today,
starting this morning.

- May I ask who you're
going to work for?

- Well, sit right down, Mom.

I'll tell you all about it.

- Well, I hope this doesn't
take too long, because I've

got some marketing to do.

- I'll be very brief.

I'm going into
business for myself.

- Well, I hope you're not
thinking about quitting school

at this early age.

- Heck, no.

I gave up that glorious
dream years ago.

- You did, did you?

Well, first of all, you have
to have a product to sell,

you know.

- Well, I guess you haven't
taken a look in this bag.

[objects clatter inside bag]

- No, I must confess
that I haven't.

Should I have?

- Be my guest.

- What's this?

Rubbing alcohol?

- Oh, heck no, Mom,
this is a great product.

- Well, what do we got here?

- Oh, our small son here has
decided to become a salesman.

- Oh what are you going to do?

Sell some tickets to
a raffle or something?

- Oh, heck no.

This stuff is real professional.

I hold here in my hand a
bottle of the most stupendous,

craziest, fantastic
stuff you ever feasted

your little old eyes on.

I hold here in my
hand, a bottle of--

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
heard the sales pitch.

I mean, uh, what is this stuff?

- It's cleaning fluid.

It's called Spots Away.

- Spots Away...

I don't believe I've
ever heard of it.

- It's new on the market.

- Is it any good?

Does it do the trick?

- It sure does, boy.

It's real jazzy.

One application and
your spots are gone--

Real gone, man.

- So you mean you're going
to pedal this stuff from

door to door?

- Yes, sir, I sure am.

- Mmm, well, this is
pretty tough work.

- Yeah, I know, but this
stuff is real dynamite.

I can make a small
fortune off this.

- Well, that's the
right attitude.

Don't go too far, now.

- No, I won't, Ma'am.

I just want to give the
neighbors a chance at it first.

- OK, take it easy, son.

- OK, Pop.
So long.

- How about that little guy?

You can't say he hasn't
plenty of self confidence.

- Yeah, that's right.

I hope we're doing the right
thing, though, you know,

letting him sell stuff
from door to door.

- Oh, I think so.
Why not?

- Well, it can be
pretty frightening.

I remember one time
when I was a kid,

I had to sell some raffle
tickets or something,

and that's all for
the Boy Scouts.

I went from door to door.

I remember the first
house I went to, I--

I rang the bell, and this woman
with kind of a gruff voice

shouted, "Who's there?"

And I said, "It's me."

- Well, it was, wasn't it?

- Well, yeah, but then
when she said, "Who's me?"

I was stumped.

I couldn't remember my own name.

- I don't think Ricky will
have the same trouble.

- Well, I hope not.

I hope he doesn't get
too many turn downs,

because that's what destroys
a kid's self confidence,

you know.

- We're still talking
about Ricky, aren't we?

- No, I-- I, uh, really
mean that, Harriet.

You know, maybe I ought to
phone a couple of the neighbors,

you know--
- What for?

- Well, let them know that
he's on the way, so they'd be,

you know, kind of
considerate of him.

- Oh, I don't think you
have to worry about Ricky.

Might not be a bad idea to phone
some of the neighbors, though.

- Well, what do you mean?

- Well, just to warn them not
to let this poor little fellow

take advantage of them.

- Hey, Oz.

- Oh, hi, Thorny.

- Oz, tell me, how do you do it?

- How do I do what?

- You must have some secret
hidden charm or something.

- Oh, did you just
discover that, Thorny?

I--

[laughter]

What brings this on?

- I just saw Ricky
striding down the street

as if he were a man on
an important mission.

- Oh, oh, well, I had nothing
to do with that, Thorny.

That's his own idea.

You know how Ricky is
somebody different every day?

Today he's a super salesman.

He's selling some, uh, spot
remover, some cleaning fluid.

I-- uh, Spots Away, it's called.

Really dynamite,
according to Rick.

- Boy, I wish some of that
Ricky's enthusiasm would

rub off on my boy, Will.

- Well, what's the
matter with Will?

- Well, he could sure
use that pep and energy.

He's always deep in some
book, or experimenting out

in the garage, or
something rather.

- Well, gee, that's funny.

According to David, Will is
sort of a whiz at chemistry,

and experiments,
and stuff like that.

- Well, maybe so.

But I wish he'd
get more interested

in personal contacts.

Oh, you take Ricky,
for instance.

Gee, he's got a lot of poise
and a lot of self confidence

for a kid his age.

- Oh, thanks, Thorny.

In fact, I'm a little
worried about that today.

I'd hate to have him lose
any of that self confidence.

You know, this
door-to-door selling

can be pretty
rough, particularly

on a little kid like Rick.

- Yeah, what'd you
say he was selling?

- It's called, uh, Spots Away.

[laughter]

It's a pretty corny
name, isn't it?

- You never can tell, Oz.

Some of those things
with corny names

turn out to be pretty
good sometimes.

You may not believe
this, but I bought

some stuff to polish my car once
called "Very Sleek, No Streak."

I put the stuff on the
car, and when it dried

you should have seen it.

Boy, it was-- you know, that is
a pretty corny name, at that.

- Getting back to Rick,
though, see, what I'm afraid of

is that, well, he'll go
out and be turned down

by a couple of people.

And it'll do something to
that self confidence of his

that you were talking about.

- Well, Oz, why don't I buy
a couple of bottles from him?

- Oh, well that's very
nice of you, Thorny,

but I think the kid ought to
stand on his own two feet.

Af-- where'd he go?

Oh, as I say, it-- it's-- it's
very generous of you, Thorny.

- [laughs]

Well, I'm a very
generous fellow.

- Mmm, uh, well, I--

I'll tell you what.

If you insist, go ahead.

Buy just a couple of bottles.

But there's one thing--

I want to repay you for it.
- Oh, Oz, please.

- Oh, yes, yes, now wait a
minute, I insist, Thorny.

After all, you're
doing enough as it is.

- Oh, for goodness
sake, Oz, I'm not

worried about the
money part of it.

- No, no, of course,
I know you aren't.

- Well, of course not.

Pay me any time...

This afternoon?

- Is that you, Ricky?

- No, it's me.

- Oh, then you come
and stand right here.

I've got the most
wonderful surprise for you.

- Pancakes for lunch?

- Nope.

You remember the golfing
cap a bunch I bought you

for your birthday, the checked
one that looked so cute on you?

- Oh, yes, I threw it a--

I misplaced it someplace.

- I found it.

[stutters]

- Gee, I-- I didn't
think you would.

Uh--

- You know, it's
the funniest thing.

It was way back in
the hall closet,

underneath a whole
bunch of stuff.

- Well, yes, the uh-- yeah.

Uh, Harriet, I-- I know that
this is a very smart-type cap,

and don't think I don't
appreciate your giving it to me

for my birthday, but gee, I
just wonder whether I'm the type

for a--

- Well, I think it
looks real cute on you.

- Do you?

Well, it's just that-- that--

frankly, you don't see an awful
lot of men on the golf course

with a cap.

- Well, not everybody
can wear a cap like that.

- Well, that's the point I'm--

I'm trying to make.

- Have you seen Ricky?

- Oh, uh, no, it was--

Thorny and I were
talking about Ricky.

I just hope too many
people don't turn him down,

because he's such a
well-balanced little guy now.

I'd hate to have him develop
an inferiority complex.

- Oh, I don't think you
have to worry about Ricky.

- Well, I hope he sells some.

Rick?

- Yeah, it's me, Pop.

- Oh, Harriet, in case he's
real down in the mouth,

kind of build him
up a little, huh?

- Oh, well, naturally.

- Oh, hiya, Pop.

- Hi, son.

- Do you mind if I don't
have a lunch today, Mom.

- Well, no, dear, not
if you're not hungry.

- No, no, no, wait
a minute, Rick.

Don't get discouraged
that easily.

After all, this door-to-door
selling is tough.

- Oh, I know that, Pop.

Heck, I'm doing fine.

- Well, what brought
you home then?

- I ran out of bottles.

- You made to say you
sold a whole dozen,

or whatever it was you had?
- Yes, sir.

Well, I better
get out the garage

and load up the wheelbarrow
with some more cleaning fluid.

- How about that?

Looks like Ricky and Spots Away
are really going to clean up.

[stammers]

- Can you imagine that little
guy selling a dozen bottles

of that spot remover?

I-- I can't get over it.

You know, that's tough,
even for a grown up,

Harriet, that
door-to-door selling.

- Yeah, I know it is.

I wonder who he
sold the stuff to.

- Well, who knows?

You know Ricky.

He probably went
down the corner,

shimmied up an
electric light pole,

and just started to
give his sales pitch.

- Well, I hope not.

Isn't there a law against
that or something?

- Oh, that wouldn't
bother him any.

They said anything
to him, he'd probably

wind up selling the
policeman a bottle to keep

his uniform clean with.

- Hi, Mom.

Hiya, Pop.

- Well, if it isn't the
super salesman, himself?

We were just talking
about you, son.

- How's the
spot-remover business?

- Oh, swell.

I just got a big order
for another dozen bottles.

- Oh, another dozen, huh?

Good for you.

- Yeah, I'm a real
hot wire, boy.

- Whatever that is,
I'm sure you are.

That must be pretty good
stuff you're selling.

I think I may try one myself.

- I just happen to have
an extra bottle here.

- Well, good.

Oh, this is it, hey?

And how much do I owe you?

- Well, that's OK, Pop.

This one's on the house.

- Well, thanks a lot.

- That doesn't sound like
very good business to me.

- Well, that's OK, Mom.

I can afford it.

I'm doing great.

Well, I'm going to get going.

I got to deliver
another dozen bottles.

- Well, keep up the good work.
- You know me, Mom.

I don't mess around, boy.

- How about that little guy,
selling two dozen bottles

of this stuff, Harriet?

- It's really amazing.

This keeps up, he'll be
able to retire by next week.

Either the spot remover
is good, or as Ricky says,

he's a hot wire, boy.

- Well let's try it out.

You got a spot on your tie.

- Oh, all right.

- I'll get a cloth.

- No, that's all right.

I'll use my handkerchief.

Oh, yeah.

Little spot right down here.

Wonder how much of this
stuff I'm supposed to use.

- Oh, not very much.

Just a little bit.

Now, this is pretty
good business training

for the little guy.

Hey!

For goodness sakes!

Oh, Harriet--

- Right where the
spot used to be.

How about that?

- Oh, this is--

oh, no!

Look at my handkerchief.

- Ozzie, this is just terrible.

- Well, yes, do you
realize that he's

sold two dozen
bottles of this stuff

all over the neighborhood?

- What are we going to do?

- Well, there's only
one thing we can do.

Where's the telephone?

We'll just have to call the
people up and warn them.

I hope we're not too late.

Well, wait a minute.

Who the heck did he
sell the stuff to?

- I don't know.

Don't you know?

- No, all I know is that he
sold two dozen bottles of this.

Harriet, you get in the
car and go downtown,

see if you can find him, and
I'll get on David's bicycle

and circulate around the
neighborhood, and I see what--

[loud knocking on door]
--I can do.

- Uh-oh.

- Oh, looks as if we've
discovered one of--

[loud knocking on door]

--Ricky's customers.

- And not a very
happy one, either.

[loud knocking on door]

- Well, go ahead
answer the door, dear.

- Oh, no, no, you
answer the door.

- No, don't you
remember, I'm supposed

to circulate around the
neighborhood on David's

bicycle.
[loud knocking on door]

- Come on now.
Open up!

I know you're in there!

- Oh, it's Thorny.

- Oh, come on in, Thorny,
the door is unlocked.

- I've got a few harsh
words to say to you.

- Well, gah, oh, Harriet,
where are you going?

- I'm going out to
find Ricky, remember?

- Now, just don't try to
butter me up, that's all.

- No, no, no, no, no--

- I want you to take a
look at this sweater.

- Thorny, now wait a minute!
- Oz, look at that sweater!

My very best sweater!
That is, it was my best sweater.

Look, it's ruined!
Look at the hole in it!

- Oh, for goodness sake.
- Oh, I--

- Now, just a second, Thorny.

For goodness sakes,
relax, will you?

Now, let's discuss this like
normal, civilized human beings.

Evidently, you purchased
a bottle of spot remover

from Ricky.

- Oh, Oz, you know
darn well I did.

You asked me to.
- No, you bought--

- And not only
that, you're going

to repay me for
the stuff I bought,

plus the 100% repayment
for this cashmere sweater.

- Now, just a moment.

I will very gladly
refund you the price

of one bottle of spot remover.

- Now, wait a minute, Oz, I
bought more than one bottle.

- How many did you buy?

- Two dozen.

- Two dozen?

- Yes, and at $0.25 a bottle,
that comes to exactly $6.

- Now, look, there
was no understanding

you were to buy anything like
two dozen bottles of spot

remover.

- Oz, can I help it because
I'm a sucker for a smooth sales

talk?

- Oh, a smooth sales talk.

A little boy this high--

- The agreement was if
you were to repay me

for every bottle of spot
remover I bought from him.

- Yes, but this is
ridiculous, buying two dozen!

- Well, Oz, you said you wanted
the boy to have a little self

confidence.

- Yes, but not $6 worth.

- Well, let me
tell you, Oz, it's

going to cost you
a lot more than $6.

This 100% cashmere
sweater was given to me

by a very dear friend.

[sentimental music playing]

Besides being quite expensive,
has a great sentimental value

to it.

Now look at it, Oz.

- Ooh, gee, pull yourself
together, Thorny, and come on

over here and we'll sit
down and talk this over.

- I'd like to settle
this out of court, Oz.

I think it'll be less
embarrassing for all of us.

- Uh, how much do you
figure the sweater is worth?

- Well, at least $15.

- Let me take a look at it.

- See, it's ruined.

Look at the big
hole in the middle.

- Doesn't feel like
cashmere to me.

- Well, it is cashmere.

It's a new type
of rough cashmere.

Very expensive, too.

- Hey, wait a second.

This looks a little
familiar to me.

- Oh, now, don't try to
change the subject, Oz.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Just because you're an
old friend and neighbor,

I'll settle for $10.

- [SHOUTING] Certainly
this isn't cashmere at all!

This is my old wool sweater!

You borrowed it from me six
months ago to play golf in

and never returned it!

- [laughs]

Oh, really?

All right, I'll tell
you what I'll do, Oz,

I'll settle for $5.

- What kind of a game
do call this, anyway?

Present from a very
dear, old, friend.

- Well, I do consider you
a very dear friend, Oz.

- Fine thing.

What kind of a
flim-flam, jim-jam game

do you think you're
playing around here?

- OK, OK, Oz, I'll
tell you what.

We'll forget all
about the sweater.

Here, you can have it back.

- But just a sec.

Just a sec.

That's the facts, old boy!

You've ruined my sweater and
you're going to pay for it!

- Who, me?

- Yes, you.

You ruined my beautiful,
expensive, cashmere sweater!

It's going to cost you!

- Oh, oh no you
don't, Oz, you already

told me it's a cheap wool one.

- That was before
you convinced me

of how expensive it really is.

[groans] Oz, I
thought I was doing it

for the good of your own son.

[groaning]

- Oh!

You got a lot of nerve, putting
that junk on my clothes!

- Well, you certainly
don't expect

me to put it on my own clothes.

You're lucky I didn't.

- Yeah, no know,
come to think of it,

I guess it is pretty
lucky, at that.

It's also pretty lucky that
you bought two dozen bottles

of the stuff before Ricky
had a chance to sell it

all over the neighborhood.

- Yeah, you know, someone ought
to tell the Better Business

Bureau about that
Spots Away company.

- By golly, you're
right, Thorny.

It's little short of
criminal to send kids out

on the street selling that junk.

- You're darn right, it is.

Those people ought to be boiled
in their own cleaning fluid.

- Ow!

[groaning]

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Oh, hiya, Pop.

Hi, Mr. Thornberry.
- Oh!

- Ready for another
dozen bottles yet?

- No, no, no, wait
a second, son.

There's something we'd
like to talk to you about.

- Is something wrong, Pop?

- Yes, I'm afraid there is.

Now, I realize this
probably isn't your fault,

but that spots remover you're
selling is pretty bad stuff.

- Gee, I think it's great.

I made $3 off it.

- Well, I wouldn't be so
anxious to count your money.

It seems you're selling a
very dangerous product here.

I tried some on my necktie.

- You mean it isn't any good?

- Well, yes, it's fine if you
want to ventilate your clothes

with nice big holes in them.

- Gee, I didn't know
anything about that, Pop.

- Well, we're not
blaming you, Rick.

- No, no, no, we realize
that you're probably

the innocent victim of
some unscrupulous people.

However, Mr.
Thornberry and I would

like to ask you a few
routine questions.

Just for the record,
you understand.

- It was obvious from
the start that the kid

had nothing to conceal.

His answers were
straightforward.

His manner was direct.

We had a job to do--

find the people behind all
this and smoke them out.

We had nothing to go on.

We were starting from scratch.

- Just want to ask a few
questions, just routine,

you understand.

I want to get at the facts.

- I'll be glad to tell
you anything I know.

- Just want to get the facts.

Could you give us a description
of the fellow who approached

you about selling the stuff?

I just want to get the
facts, you understand.

- Sure.
He has brown hair...

- Mm-hmm.
- And blue eyes.

- Mm-hmm.

You get that?

- Mm-hmm.

About how tall would
you say he was?

- A little shorter than Pop.

- Uh-huh, about 5' 8" or 9?

- Yeah, I guess so.
- Mm-hmm.

- Uh-huh.
- Mmm.

- Mm-hmm.

- Did you get that, Friday?

- Mm-hmm.

Remember what he was wearing
at the time you talked to him?

Just for the record, of course.

- Sure, he had on a
t-shirt and blue denims.

- Obviously not a
legitimate business man.

- Could you give a
guess at his age?

- Sure, that's easy.

He's just 17.

- One more question.

Do you know his name?

- Sure, he's my brother, David.

He's also your son, Pop.

- This is quite a
shock, of course.

After all, we had a job to do.

At least we were
on the right track.

The man we were
looking for now was

Mr. Big, the big boss, the man
behind all this, the brain.

[suspenseful music playing]

- You mean David has
been making this stuff?

- Not all by himself.

- Oh, so there are other
members of the gang, too, huh?

- It's just one guy.

- The big boss?

- Yeah, I guess
you'd call him that.

- Now we're getting somewhere.

Do you know the name
of this big boss?

- Sure, his name
is Will Thornberry.

- This is what we were after.

We'd been playing a hunch.

Sometimes the path of duty
leads you in strange directions.

Thorny took it pretty hard.

- Holy smoke!

You mean to tell me my
boy Will is in on this?

- Sure, he's the brains.

He started it all with
his chemistry set.

- What do you got
to say now, Thorny?

- Oz, I just can't believe it.

where have they been
making this stuff?

- Out in your garage.

- That's what Will's been
doing on the garage all week.

- Hi, Pop.
Hi, Mr. Thornberry.

- Hi, David.

- Oh, David, Ricky tells me
that you and Will Thornberry

have been making this spot
remover he's been selling.

- That's right, Pop.
Is there anything wrong?

- Well, gee, don't you know
it's dangerous to fool around

with chemicals like that?

- We got the formula right
out of a chemistry book.

- Well, then I'd strongly advise
you to get rid of the book.

- Yeah, just pour some of
your spot remover on it.

- Stand back about 10 paces.

That stuff eats up everything
it comes in contact with.

- Yeah, I can't understand that.

You got a bottle of it here?

- Well, yeah, right
over there on the table.

Don't drop it now.

We don't want to lose
the living-room rug.

- Hey, this isn't
my spot remover.

- Doggone it, Ricky.

I told you just to take
the bottles we gave you.

- Yeah, but there was a whole
mess of them in the garage,

and I couldn't
find you and Will.

- Gee, I'm sorry, Pop.

This is the new
secret formula Will

and I have been working on.

- Well, what's it for?

- We haven't figured
that out yet.

- You could always sell it
as a liquid buttonhole maker.

- No, no, I think
you'd better forget

about the whole thing, Dave.

This stuff is too dangerous
to fool around with.

- Oh, Will had a pretty
good idea, though, Pop.

He suggested we turn it into
a formula for cutting grass

without a lawnmower.

- Well, by golly, that
is a pretty good idea.

[laughs]

- Yeah, we tried it out on
the grass and it works well.

- Now wait a minute.

You mean say this stuff
actually cuts grass?

- Ah, yes, sir.

Only one trouble though.

I don't think anybody's
going to want a black lawn.

[laughter]

- That's for sure.

- Tell me, Dave, where'd
you try this experiment out?

- On your front lawn.

[laughter]

[ding]

I'll see you later, Oz.
- No, no, wait.

Where are you going?

- I think I'll do a little
experimenting on my boy, Will.

- Why?

Does just mean I'm
out of business.

- Uh, yeah, I'm afraid so, Rick.

- What do we do
with all the stuff?

- I guess we better bury it.

- Yeah, I think David's right.

- Come on, Rick.

- Oh, say, Dave, just a second.

I just happen to
remember something.

Your mother gave me a
golfing cap for my birthday,

and I think it could
stand a little cleaning.

- Goodnight.

I'm going bowling with Thorny.

- OK, don't forget
your bowling ball.

- No, I've got it
right out in the car.

- Got a sweater on?

It's pretty chilly outside.

- Yeah, yeah, I've
got a sweater on.

- Oh, and put a
tie on, will you?

You never can tell who
you'll meet over there.

- I've got a sweater on.

I've got a tie on.

- Got a handkerchief?

- Harriet, for goodness
sakes, I'm not a child.

Do I have a sweater?
Do I have a tie?

Do I have a handkerchief?
Yes, I have a handkerchief.

I--

- Well, let me see it.

- There, there.

I-- I-- told-- oh--

[laughs]

--look at the handkerchief.

Oh, It's really something.

[laughs]

Of all the handkerchiefs
I have, I have--

- Next week, "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family--

Ozzie, Harriet,
David, and Ricky--

will be brought to
you by Antizyme.

Listerine Antizyme toothpaste
stops the major cause

of tooth decay every
minute of every day.

- Well, goodnight, folks.

We'll see you again next week!

- Good night, and
remember, always look

to Hotpoint for
the finest first.

- Yes, sir, that's
what I always say, boy.

- What do you always
say, little man?

- Always look to Hotpoint--

[ding]

--for the finest first.

- And don't forget that a
completely different episode

of "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet"

is heard every Friday
night on radio.

Consult your newspaper for
time and radio station.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
blood serum albumin

and gamma globulin are saving
the lives of both our wounded

in military hospitals and
our civilians here at home.

What happened to that pint of
blood you were going to give?

It only takes a short
time to give blood.

It's easy, painless, pleasant.

And the donor leaves
with a sense of pride

in having helped save a life.

How about calling your local
Red Cross chapter or blood donor

center and making
an appointment?

And please be sure and keep it.
