The Red Skelton Show | Season 7 | Episode 9 | Thanksgiving

In this spoof of the Miles Standish-John Alden-Priscilla Mullins legend, Red plays John in a broad, farcical manner, given to slapstick clumsiness and cigar chomping anachronisms. The filmed quality of the show cuts out most of the spontaneous gags and asides expected of Red.

Writers: Will Fowler, Benedict Freedman
Starring: Red Skelton, Lola Albright, Kathryn Card
