00:00Three of these boxes will break the $6,000 bank.
00:13Is this one of them?
00:14Or is it this one?
00:15Or this one?
00:17We'll find out in a moment in this game of hide and seek
00:20as these nine celebrities.
00:22Anson William.
00:24Lee Merriweather.
00:27Liz Torres.
00:30Alan Tarras.
00:32Jan Murray.
00:34Jeanne Dubois.
00:36Sandy Duncan.
00:39Tom Bosley.
00:40And Pat McCormick.
00:43All join us in playing Break the Bank.
00:49Now meet our host, Tom Kennedy.
00:55Hi, guys.
00:57We're here.
00:58I was tired.
01:00Hello there.
01:02Thank you very much.
01:02Welcome to Break the Bank.
01:03You'll find our game simple and fun to play.
01:05You've met our celebs.
01:06Let's meet our contestants.
01:08Johnny Jacobs, would you introduce them, please?
01:10I'd be happy to, Tom.
01:11Let's welcome the two players whose game was interrupted yesterday,
01:14our current champion, whose winnings are over $2,400,
01:18Glenda Wilson, and her challenger, a freelance writer whose interest is gambling, Fred Wallen.
01:30Welcome back to you, Glenda and to you, Fred.
01:32And welcome to you, folks.
01:33Here's how we play Break the Bank.
01:35Our game board has various denominations of money in groups of three.
01:38There are also money bags scattered here and there.
01:40Here is what a typical board might look like.
01:43The three $100 boxes touching each other along one of the sides.
01:49The three $200 boxes, each touching each other.
01:53And the three $300 boxes.
01:55And again, they touch each other.
01:58The five money bags are scattered all over.
02:01And a wild box, which can be located anywhere and can be used for any value.
02:07The remaining boxes are blank.
02:09They have no value, but they do not touch each other along any of the sides.
02:13You get three of the same and you win.
02:14Get three money bags and you break our bank, which today is at $6,000.
02:20That's the game we'll play after these words.
02:30I remember now, for every question used,
02:32you will hear a true answer from one of our celebrities and a false one from the other.
02:36All you have to do is pick the right one.
02:38Three of the same money boxes always touch each other along one of the sides.
02:42And the first player to get three of the same money boxes wins.
02:45Now, when we ended our game the last time, our game was interrupted.
02:48And here is how the exposed portion of our game board looked.
02:52You, Fred, had a $300 box and you had one money bag.
02:55And Glenda Wilson, you had one money bag and a $300 box as well.
02:59Whenever a game is interrupted due to lack of time,
03:01parts of the undisclosed portion of the board are rearranged
03:04and both contestants are so notified.
03:06Well, Glenda, we're going to start with you.
03:09Pick a box and away we go.
03:10Okay, number three.
03:11Number three.
03:12Could we see box number three?
03:14What did she find there?
03:15Oh, she found a wild card.
03:18And you have to win that wild card.
03:22That is connected to Jan Murray and Lee Merriweather.
03:24And Jan, here is your question, sir.
03:26The sea crab has unusual teeth because they aren't where you'd expect them.
03:31Where are they?
03:33They're under the gums.
03:36That's what makes them so crabby.
03:38You know what a pain this is?
03:42No, the crab's teeth are in the claws.
03:46Lee Merriweather, where are they?
03:50Beneath the feelers.
03:53Glenda, is it under the claws or beneath the feelers?
03:57I know nothing about crabs, but I hope it's in the claws.
04:02Wrong.
04:03They're beneath the feelers.
04:04And so that wild card goes back to its neutral position.
04:06And we're over now to Fred Wallen.
04:08I'll gamble and take number three.
04:09Yeah, terrific gamble.
04:11Good gambler.
04:11Could we see box number three?
04:13Here is your question once again to Jan Murray and Lee Merriweather.
04:15Jan, statistics in today's health show that the ideal woman to become pregnant
04:20is five feet five, a bit plump, and how old?
04:26What's the difference?
04:26I say, let's find that woman.
04:30I think the ideal age would be about 18.
04:34Lee?
04:36Well, having become pregnant at 25, I think it's 25.
04:41Fred, 18 or 25 for the wild card?
04:4418.
04:45Wrong.
04:46It's 25.
04:47And the box returns us neutral position.
04:50What will Glenda go for, folks?
04:53If he can take a chance, I can take a chance.
04:55Number three.
04:56Let's see, box number three.
04:57Once again to Jan Murray, Lee Merriweather.
04:58This is beyond the show.
04:59It's my special now.
05:02Jan, the proper way for a lady to ride side saddle
05:05is to place one of her legs in the stirrups
05:07and to hook her other leg over something.
05:09What?
05:10Over the next of kin.
05:14I don't know.
05:14What are you talking about?
05:16Over some, I would see you ask these silly questions.
05:18I would say, let me see that you, if she puts one leg,
05:22oh, the other leg would be over the saddle horn.
05:24Uh-huh.
05:25The drive side saddle.
05:26That's what you want to know, right?
05:27Yes, that is correct.
05:28Right.
05:28Yes.
05:29Lee?
05:30I really think it's the bridle.
05:32All right.
05:33Glenda, is it the bridle or is it the saddle horn?
05:36The bridle.
05:38Wrong.
05:39It's the saddle horn.
05:41Well, nobody seems to want the wild card.
05:43How do you like that?
05:43We return that to its neutral position.
05:45Fred, what on earth are you going to go for?
05:47Number three.
05:48Oh, number three.
05:49Good idea.
05:49Could we see box number three?
05:51All right.
05:52Now, that is connected to Jan Murray.
05:54Do you know something?
05:55The show is 30 seconds old and I'm tired already.
05:59Jan, here is your question.
06:00And Lee, Jan, how many legs do insects have?
06:05How many legs did you say?
06:06Yes, sir.
06:07How many legs do insects have?
06:10I would say it varies from two to eight.
06:13And Lee, what would you say?
06:16I thank heavens for my daughter.
06:17All insects have six.
06:19No.
06:20Six.
06:20Six is it.
06:21You've got the wild card.
06:23That is it.
06:24And that means that, in effect, you have two $300 boxes.
06:28And it also means that you have two money bags.
06:30So either another money bag or another $300 box could win the game for you.
06:34What's your pick, Fred?
06:36Number eight.
06:37Number eight.
06:38Did he find either a money bag or a $300 box?
06:41There is a $100 box.
06:42That box is connected to Jan Murray and to Alex Karras.
06:46Jan, here's your question.
06:46And according to legend, only one person saw Lady Godiva ride through the streets naked.
06:52How did he make his living?
06:54By selling the instant replay.
06:58No, that I happen to know.
06:59He was a page in the king's court, Lady Godiva's husband.
07:02All right.
07:03Alex?
07:03Because of the fact that she was naked, it's ironic enough that the man was a tailor and
07:11could make whatever she needed to put on.
07:13Glenda, was it because he was a knight in the king's court or was it, pardon me, Fred, was
07:18it, was he a knight in the king's court or was he a tailor for that $100 box?
07:23He was a knight in the king's court.
07:24He was a tailor.
07:26We return that box to his neutral position, box number eight.
07:30We're not doing real well, are they?
07:31Oh, we're doing well.
07:32Glenda?
07:33Well, I'm going to go to number 10 to block.
07:3710 to block.
07:38All right.
07:38She doesn't want him to get the third $300 box.
07:40Could we see box number 10?
07:42Did she?
07:42Yes, she did.
07:43$300 box.
07:44Of course, she knew it had to be that because they touched on at least one side.
07:47This is for Pat McCormick and for Alex Harris.
07:49Pat, according to good housekeeping, the average child isn't ready for potty training until he
07:54is at least how old?
07:56In my neighborhood, about 37.
07:58No, I think the good housekeeping article, I didn't see that, but I think it's the same
08:05one as Spock.
08:06It's two and a half years.
08:08Alex Harris?
08:10Well, I was trained at one, and of course, I'm probably more advanced than normal babies,
08:14but I think one.
08:16All right.
08:16Is it two and a half or is it one for that $300 box, Glenda?
08:20I hope it's one.
08:21I'm going to say one.
08:22You are right.
08:22One year.
08:24That $300 box now belongs to you, and that means you have two $300 boxes.
08:28And the wild card's already taken, so that's blocked.
08:30And now, pick another box.
08:32Okay.
08:32I'm going to go with number eight.
08:34I know what's there.
08:35You do?
08:35All right.
08:35Let's see box number eight.
08:37Could we?
08:37Box number eight is a $100 box, as she knows from before.
08:40Jan Murray, it is connected to, and Alex Harris.
08:43Jan, weight-wise, what is the toughest part of a woman's body to slim down?
08:49You say slim down or pin down?
08:51Slim.
08:52Oh, oh.
08:53I haven't had much luck either way.
08:54The toughest part of a woman's body to slim down are the upper arms.
09:00They're murder.
09:01They just hang.
09:02No way to get you.
09:03The rest of it comes off the way.
09:05Alex Harris.
09:06Well, there's the mythology of the secretarial spread, which would be more or less the upper
09:12thighs area.
09:13So I would say the foot.
09:16No.
09:17Upper thigh.
09:18I would say upper thigh.
09:19Glenda, is it upper arms or upper thighs?
09:21Upper thighs.
09:22Upper thighs is the answer.
09:23You have the $100 box.
09:27Take another box, Glenda.
09:28Okay, looking for another $100, number seven.
09:30Number seven.
09:31Could we see box number seven?
09:32Looking for another $100 box, and she found it.
09:35And that is connected to Liz Purse and Alex Harris.
09:38Liz, in mythology, Apollo used to get up every morning and jump into his chariot because he
09:43had to bring something big and hot to a waking world.
09:47What?
09:48Pepperoni pizza.
09:49He had to bring to the world the god of fire, Zeus.
09:57Zeus.
09:58Yes.
09:59The god of fire.
10:00Yes.
10:00Alex Harris.
10:03Very heavy bull.
10:06In heat.
10:07No.
10:09The sun.
10:10The sun.
10:10It has to be the sun because I'm Greek and I know mythology.
10:13All right.
10:13Was it the god of fire, Zeus, or was it the sun?
10:16I'm going to go with the sun.
10:17You've got it.
10:18That's the sun, $100 box.
10:20You now have two of those.
10:22And if you get one more, you can win the game and $300.
10:25So which box would you like to pick?
10:27You know they touch on at least one side, the three $100.
10:30Gosh.
10:31Number six.
10:33You have a one out of four chance.
10:34Did she find the third $100 box?
10:36Could we see box number six?
10:39It is a blank.
10:40How can we go back to Fred Wallen?
10:42I'm looking for a money bag.
10:43Number one.
10:46And if he finds the money bag, he breaks the bank.
10:49Is number one a money bank for $700,000?
10:55$600,000.
10:56You've got it.
10:59Oh, oh, oh, oh.
11:01Looking for the huge pounder, folks.
11:04Oh, that's a good.
11:06Too many bags and a oil car that is $6,000 richer.
11:12Congratulations to you.
11:15Glenda Wilson, you racked up in your time here on our show $1,200 in cash.
11:21You've got the records in the stereo, the fun room, and the barbecue for a grand total of $2,430.
11:26Well done, Glenda.
11:28Congratulations.
11:30We know who the wild card was on that.
11:33And now you not only won and broke the bank for $6,000, we have a very special surprise for you.
11:38And Johnny Jacobs is going to tell you what it is right now.
11:41No.
11:42No.
11:42Not on the bank.
11:43You don't get that special surprise.
11:45That goes to Jan.
11:46And you'll get it.
11:47It'll be in your garage in the morning, and I hope you're very happy.
11:50Oh, good.
11:50We had to say goodbye to Glenda, and Fred will take on a new challenger, and we'll start
11:54our next game off by starting the bank out at $5,000 that game after this.
12:08Well, Fred Wallen, our freelance writer here, is our current champ, and he just broke the
12:11bank.
12:11He has five.
12:12He has $6,000 is what he has, and we have the bank at $5,000 for this game, and we also
12:18have a new challenger.
12:18Johnny Jacobs, would you introduce her, please?
12:20I'd be happy to, Tom.
12:21She's a homemaker, a mother, and a teacher.
12:23Mrs. Carol Wingate.
12:27All right.
12:29You know how to play our game, don't you, Carol?
12:31Yes, I do.
12:32Well, we're going to start with you, young lady, so pick a box there.
12:35I'll take number 12, please.
12:36She says number 12.
12:37Could we see box number 12?
12:39What does she find on the very first?
12:40Hey, she found a $200 box that is connected to Liz Torres and to Jeannette Dubois.
12:46Liz, here's your question.
12:47According to reports from San Clemente, Gerald Ford has called Richard Nixon once this past
12:53year, and that was just to say what?
12:56Did you bring my shirts back from Peking?
13:00No, he called him to say happy birthday.
13:04Jeannette?
13:05She's wrong.
13:05To get a report on his trip to China.
13:07Believe me, I would not lie to you.
13:09Was it to say happy birthday or to get a report from China?
13:13It was for happy birthday.
13:14That's what it was.
13:15You've got a $200 box.
13:16There's another one, Carol.
13:19I hope it's lucky 13.
13:21Lucky 13?
13:22She hopes.
13:23Could we see box number 13?
13:24Did she find?
13:25She did find another $200 box.
13:27First, it's connected to Jeannette and Jeannette.
13:30And now, Jeannette, the average elephant has something that can hold six quarts of water.
13:34What is it?
13:36Whatever it is, you've got to follow her with a bathtub.
13:41I think it's a son-in-law.
13:42It's a camel.
13:44I know what the-wait a minute.
13:46Six quarts, of course, the kidney, his kidney.
13:48Or her kidney.
13:49Uh-huh.
13:50Jeannette?
13:50Let me see now.
13:51Six quarts of water.
13:52No, it could be indecent if I had-no, that couldn't be it.
13:55Let's say his trunk.
13:58I'll say trunk.
13:59Trunk is right, yes.
14:00You've got two $200 boxes.
14:03If you find that third $200 box, and if you win it, you will then indeed win the game in $600.
14:09And you know they touch on at least one side.
14:11Which box would you like to try?
14:13There's so many possibilities.
14:14Well, you have a one out of six possibilities.
14:16And that's one of the six.
14:17And if this is the third, you can win the game.
14:19Could we see box number 18?
14:22She found a blank.
14:23Over to you, Fred.
14:24Number 17.
14:26Number 17.
14:27He's going to hope to find it and block.
14:28Could we see box number 17?
14:30Did he find-oh, he found a money bag.
14:31Now you know what your decision is.
14:33Any player who gets three money bags, breaks the bank, which today is at $5,000.
14:38The rule of the game is you can keep this money bag without having to answer a question, but you lose your turn.
14:42Or you can refuse to take the money bag and then keep on playing.
14:44So what do you want to do?
14:45I must refuse to try to block her, so.
14:47Oh, he's going to keep on playing.
14:48So we return that to his neutral position.
14:50Pick another box now.
14:52Number 7.
14:53Number 7.
14:53He's looking for a $200 box for a block.
14:55Did he find it?
14:56Box number 7, please.
14:58It's a $300 box, and that is connected to Liz Tordeson to Alex Karras.
15:02Liz, according to the book of Proverbs, he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made what?
15:08Treasurereth.
15:11Safe.
15:12What is that?
15:13Safe.
15:13Safe.
15:14Alex Karras.
15:17He that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made...
15:22A saint.
15:24Say it again.
15:24A saint.
15:25Sane.
15:26Is it safe?
15:27No, it's safe.
15:28Saint.
15:28I'm pronouncing mine because I have a deviated septum.
15:32I see.
15:33But it's saint.
15:34Saint.
15:34All right.
15:35Is it the Lord shall be made...
15:38Now, he that putteth...
15:39Safe.
15:40Safe.
15:41Safe is what you say.
15:42That is a correct answer.
15:43It is safe.
15:44And not safe.
15:45S-A-F-E.
15:46And you have a $300 box.
15:49That was pretty ticklish, that one.
15:51Yes, it was.
15:51Looking for another one.
15:55Yes.
15:57Number eight.
15:58Another one being a $300 box.
16:00Did he find it?
16:00Box number eight.
16:01Could we see it, please?
16:02It is the wild card.
16:04If you must earn that wild card by answering the question correctly.
16:07And that is connected to Jan Murray and to Alex Karras.
16:10Jan, you have just met a shush boomer.
16:15Well, what can a shush boomer probably do better than you can?
16:18Answer this question.
16:21Not only a shush boomer, but a boom shush can do it.
16:23Now, a shush boomer, what do you want to know about it?
16:27I say, what can a shush boomer probably do better than you can?
16:31Oh, shoot off a cannon.
16:33Uh-huh.
16:34Alex Karras.
16:35There's nothing he can do that I can't do is shushing and booming.
16:38But terminology would say that a shush boomer is a skier.
16:43Ski.
16:44All right.
16:44Cannon or a skier?
16:46I'll try skier.
16:47That is it.
16:48A shush boomer is a skier.
16:50And you now have a wild card, which means, in effect, you have two $300 boxes.
16:55If you find the third $300 box, you could win the game at $900.
16:59And we'll see if you find it right after these words.
17:02Don't go away now.
17:08All right, our current champ, Fred Wallen, is in control here.
17:13And so far, he has one $300 box, and he has a wild card,
17:17which means, in effect, you have two $300 boxes.
17:20Now, if you find the third one, and if you get it successfully,
17:22you will win the game at $900.
17:25And you know they touch each other on at least one side.
17:27So what is your pick?
17:28Lucky number two.
17:30He wants number two.
17:31Did he find a $300 box?
17:33Could we see box number two?
17:34He did.
17:35And now, you must answer this correctly in order to win the game.
17:40That box is connected to Liz Torres and to Lee Merriweather.
17:43Liz, here is your question, my dear.
17:46Which religion has the largest number of adherents?
17:51Of what?
17:52Adherents.
17:53Those who adhere to?
17:54To the Buddhists.
17:57The Buddhists, she says.
17:58Lee, what do you say?
18:00I believe it's the Christian religion.
