00:00You have a date with the Angels, starring Betty White, Bill Williams as Gus Angel,
00:28presented by Plymouth, star of The Forward Look, and the Plymouth Dealers of America.
00:42The time? Eight months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:46The plot? There's no such thing as a miserable Santa Claus.
00:50The main character? There's no such...
00:53Well, with one possible exception.
00:58Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
01:28appreciate you coming up here and always helping Mrs. Angel, Mr. Finley. Noelle. Noelle. My finger's
01:35getting fat, Mrs. Angel. Well, that's all right. I got nothing else to do. Now, what's for dinner?
01:44I have some stew on the stove. Oh, great. Can I clean this stove for you? Stew can be pretty messy.
01:51The stew is in a pan on the stove, Mr. Finley. Oh. Is there something else I can do? Well, I don't
02:00know what it would be, but thanks anyway. That's what they all say. Nobody needs me. Why, that
02:06isn't true, Mr. Finley. Yes, it is. Well, it is not. Yes, it is. No, it... Mr. Finley, I happen to know
02:17that your son counts on you to do chores around the house. Well, you're always watering
02:22the lawn or doing housework. Watering the lawn. Big deal. If you feel you don't have enough
02:29to do at home, why don't you get a job? What kind of a job? Well, I'm sure two weeks before
02:36Christmas, there are a lot of places that need help. Give me a for instance. Just offhand,
02:42it depends on what you can do, I guess. When I was a boy, I used to braid buggy whips for
02:48the carriage trade. Somebody invented a machine. I know. They call it the automobile. No, they
02:57call it a buggy whip braiding machine. Sweetheart, Mr. Finley is looking for a job. Why? He says
03:07he doesn't have enough to do at home. Well, he's always up here helping us. Not much future
03:12in that. No, I guess not. You know, sweetheart, if Mr. Finley had a regular job, he wouldn't
03:19have so much time to be helping us. Honey, I don't think that... Yeah. Have you thought
03:27about calling Dolly? Dolly? Why, sure. We have this friend who works at Martindale's department
03:33store. If they're open evenings, I'll call her right after dinner. Oh, thanks for the invitation,
03:38but I've got to get home and cook dinner for my son. He'll be wondering where I am.
03:45Noel. Noel. Noel. Noel. Noel.
03:49Noel.
03:55Vicki, if he's breathing, we can use him down here, honey. Wonderful, and thanks. Don't thank me,
04:02dear. During the Christmas rush, it's Martindale's policy to use anything that can walk, wiggle,
04:06or crawl. Is it as bad as all that? Vicki, you could use a little extra money.
04:13No, thank you. I've met Mr. Wallace. Oh. Well, if you think he's revolting normally,
04:19you should see him now. He's been made floor manager at the toy department, and he actually
04:23loves it. Well, then he isn't as bad as I thought.
04:27He loves it for two reasons. A, he gets a percentage of the department's cut, and B,
04:33he gets a chance to be nasty to hundreds of little children.
04:39Customers are waiting, Mrs. Koenig.
04:42I'm recruiting, Mr. Wallace. In that case, go right ahead. Let them wait.
04:48All right, Vicki, have your friend down here first thing in the morning.
04:50I will, Dolly, and thanks a million. Bye, dear. Bye.
04:53Bye. Mr. Wallace, I got another, oh, another victim for you. He'll be down tomorrow.
05:00Oh. If I hear just one more fa-la-la, I won't be responsible.
05:08Mr. Wallace, doesn't Christmas mean anything to you at all?
05:11Oh, let's not get maudlin'. What about this man?
05:16His name is Finley, and he got old without any help from you.
05:20Holy Santa Claus.
05:26I'll put Spencer back in shipping where he belongs.
05:29He's a miserable Santa Claus.
05:32Mr. Wallace, there is no such thing as a miserable Santa Claus.
05:36Oh, now, don't you go soft on me.
05:39It's Christmas.
05:41That's exactly what I mean, Mrs. Koenig.
05:43This is the time when Martindales are supposed to make a little money.
05:46Tell me something, Mr. Wallace.
05:49Is the first dollar you ever made hanging on your wall?
05:52Naturally not.
05:54It's where it belongs, in the bank, drawing interest.
05:59What a lovely sentiment.
06:01If I don't look out for myself, who will?
06:04I respect money because it's...
06:06Little girl, put that down.
06:08Little girl!
06:09Good morning and Merry Christmas.
06:21Don't let Mr. Wallace hear you say that around here.
06:24Merry Christmas?
06:25Even good morning ties him in knots.
06:29He can't be as bad as all that.
06:31He's worse.
06:33Where's the new boy you were going to bring down?
06:34Well, he's not very new, but he's so anxious to be of help.
06:41Woo, woo, woo.
06:46Well, well, here's Casey Jones.
06:50Glad to know you, Mr. Jones.
06:51My name's Pringham.
06:55Hello, Mr. Wallace.
06:57This is the man I told Dolly about.
06:59Oh, and Mrs. Angel.
07:00Look, in spite of what you did to Martindale's last time,
07:04I'd like to offer you a job as a salesperson.
07:06Now, at first, it won't be...
07:07Oh, no, thank you, Mr. Wallace.
07:08No, but Mr. Finley here is very anxious to do something useful.
07:11Oh, yes.
07:12Yes, I am, Mr. Jones.
07:13But if my boy shows up, throw him out.
07:17Why, Mr. Finley?
07:19Well, when I told him I was going to work down here,
07:21he had one of his tantrums.
07:22He's a spoiled brat.
07:25Kid like that ought to be spanked and sent to bed.
07:28He's 37.
07:30Huh?
07:31If I had said something, Mr. Finley,
07:33we wouldn't have taken Mr. Wallace's time.
07:35Mr. Finley has a perfect right to make up his own mind.
07:39Do you want a job?
07:40Yes, I do.
07:42Well, come on.
07:44Get away from those trains.
07:45Oh, Mr. Finley.
07:45Well, Mr. Wallace is nice to him.
07:58Would you say that Mr. Finley is just a few points off magnetic north?
08:05He just takes everything literally, that's all.
08:08Well, maybe you could explain to Mr. Wallace that he's a sweet old man.
08:13Everybody in the neighborhood just loves him.
08:15And that he ought to be given the kind of job where he'll feel he's needed.
08:19That would touch Mr. Wallace so deeply, he'd fire him on the spot.
08:24What does Mr. Wallace have planned for him?
08:26Oh, you'll see.
08:27Oh, excuse me.
08:27Well, Mr. Finley.
08:45Mrs. Angel, where is my father?
08:48He tells me you've embroiled him in some enterprise in this store.
08:51I must forbid it.
08:53Well, he asked for a job and I helped him get one.
08:56I had no idea you'd object.
08:58I do not object.
08:59I forbid.
09:01Mrs. Angel willy-nilly who have upset the entire routine of my life.
09:05I can assure you I need my father at home.
09:08Well, Mr. Finley, I think that's just wonderful.
09:11Have you ever told him that in so many words?
09:13I have told him repeatedly that when I come home, he must have my supper ready for me.
09:20Oh, I see.
09:22Well, doesn't it matter to you that he wants to do something useful?
09:25Well, there is nothing more useful to me than having my supper ready for me.
09:30Now, where is he?
09:32At this moment, I can truthfully tell you I don't know.
09:36Mrs. Angel, your attitude strikes me as one completely lacking cooperation.
09:41Now, will you please tell me where he is?
09:44He went that way.
09:45You just described a hundred and eighty degree arc.
09:52Did I?
09:54I will find him myself.
09:59Mrs. Angel, it pains me to discover that you have absolutely no Christmas spirit.
10:04What?
10:05Ho, ho, ho.
10:17Ho, ho, ho.
10:20No.
10:21Ho, ho, ho.
10:24Ho, ho.
10:25Can't you do anything with him?
10:30He sounds like he's coughing.
10:31I am.
10:32It's hot in here.
10:34Oh, you're a beautiful Santa.
10:37I hope the children like me.
10:39Oh, they will.
10:41Oh, incidentally, your son is very upset about your being here.
10:44Well, that's tough.
10:46Where do I work, Mr. Jones?
10:48Mr. what?
10:49Never mind.
10:50Right over here.
10:52Oh, and for heaven's sake, work on your ho, ho, hoes.
10:57Now, get away from these trains.
11:00Ho, ho, ho.
11:04Well, I guess I can't be mother hen to him all day.
11:08Oh, well, I'll try to keep an eye on him.
11:10Where are you headed?
11:11The bank.
11:12We have a list of presents a mile long.
11:15Gus and I are going to get some gifts and toys for the nieces and nephews later on.
11:18Well, I hope he lasts out the day.
11:21I know how Mr. Wallace can be.
11:24Hoping Christmas will catch up with him.
11:26Maybe today's the day.
11:29Barnum! Barnum!
11:30Come back here, you little little delinquent!
11:32Come here!
11:33That's a display!
11:34How would you like to have an income of $500 a month for the rest of your life?
11:53Someone will win $500 a month for the rest of his or her life.
11:58That's the grand prize in the most exciting contest ever held.
12:03Plymouth's Money Ahead Contest.
12:06And listen to these added prizes.
12:09Two brand new Money Ahead Plymouths will be given away each week plus 450 other valuable prizes.
12:17Now, here is what Plymouth's Money Ahead Contest is all about.
12:20You simply solve the scrambled word puzzle.
12:23Place the letters in their correct order, and they spell out one of the Money Ahead features of the new Plymouth.
12:30Now, for example, the answer to this puzzle is Money Ahead.
12:34The name of the contest.

12:37Loads of family fun.
12:40So go into your Plymouth dealer tomorrow.

13:06Wallace in toys.
13:27Send me up three dozen more dolls number 71, two dozen train sets number 12X, and all the model airplanes you've got.
13:34We've finally got a Santa Claus here, stirring up a little business.
13:39Ho, ho, ho.
13:41Merry Christmas.
13:43Thanks.
13:53I was told that my father worked in this department.
13:55His name is Finley, as is mine.
13:57I see.
13:58I want him removed.
14:00Finley, Finley, Finley.
14:01I was told he was here.
14:04Finley, of course.
14:06Tropical fish, second floor.
14:13Personnel told me he was here.
14:16Well, he isn't.
14:16Are you lost, little girl?
14:30I said, are you lost, little girl?
14:36What is your name?
14:40Is she lost?
14:41She doesn't answer.
14:43Perhaps she's a foreigner.
14:46That means, are you lost?
14:50That means, what's your name?
14:54Now, I assume you have departments to take care of situations like this.
14:58I must find my father.
15:01For goodness sake, little girl, I have other things to do here.
15:05Just tell me your name so I can find your stupid, so I can find your mother.
15:09I'd like to have you meet my husband.
15:13This is Mr. Wallace, huh?
15:14Oh, how do you do?
15:15How do you do, sir?
15:16Well, hi there.
15:19What's your name, sweetheart?
15:21Susan.
15:22Huh?
15:22Well, are you lost?
15:25Where's your mommy?
15:26She's lost.
15:29Well, we'll help you find her.
15:31Don't you worry, sweetie.
15:33What's your last name, honey?
15:36773 Los Angeles.
15:39Mrs. Katie.
15:42Hi, Gus.
15:44Welcome to Happy Happy Land.
15:46We've got another lost child, Mrs. Katie.
15:48Make the usual announcements.
15:50Her name is Susan.
15:51Susan.
15:54We have a lost little girl named Susan.
15:56Will Susan's mother please pick her up in Santa Claus Land?
16:00We ought to be kept on a leash.
16:02Do you know that 50%...
16:05Now get away from those trades.
16:08He hates any human being under four foot three.
16:12All right, Susan.
16:13Let's go see Santa Claus and wait for mommy.
16:16Oh.
16:17Oh, well, I'll take her, darling.
16:19I want to see how Mr. Finley's doing anyway.
16:21He's doing fine.
16:23He is?
16:24We've moved three times as many things today as we did yesterday.
16:28I'll start looking around for some presents for the kids.
16:30Where do you keep the nephew type toys?
16:32Out of reach.
16:34All right, Susan.
16:35You go with Vicki, dear.
16:37Come on, darling.
16:38Oh, dolly.
16:39How will I know Susan's mother when I see her?
16:42She'll be spanking Susan.
16:45No, she won't.
16:46I'm going to explain the whole thing to her.
16:47Bye.
16:48You bye.
16:48I'll see you later.
16:49Come on, darling.
16:51We can't stop if we're going to find your...
16:54Oh, Susan, look at her.
16:57Isn't that the cute...
16:59And look, her little dress all on snaps there.
17:03And here's her little bonnet.
17:06And here's her petticoat.
17:10And here's her slippers.
17:12And here's her price tag.
17:17You too, little girls.
17:19Mustn't keep Santa waiting.
17:21Sorry.
17:22Come on, darling.
17:24Merry Christmas.
17:26Ho, ho, ho.
17:29There's been a good little girl.
17:31Oh, Santa, here's...
17:33Oh, I'm sorry.
17:35Here's a little dolly for you.
17:37Merry Christmas.
17:38Ho, ho, ho.
17:41Santa, this is Susan.
17:42Oh?
17:44Sweetheart, this is Santa Claus.
17:46Do you know him?
17:48Why, we're all friends.
17:49Yeah, hello, Susan.
17:51Where did you have her?
17:56We're looking for her mommy.
17:58Oh, come on.
17:58Petey, why don't you go down to the end of the line there, and you can tell Santa what you want, all right?
18:02I'll be right here.
18:03All right.
18:03Next boy.
18:04Well, I will.
18:05Well, what do you want to have for Christmas, young fella?
18:08You're not a real Santa Claus.
18:11Of course not.
18:12The real Santa's at the North Pole.
18:14I work for him.
18:15Oh.
18:16What do you want for Christmas?
18:18A train.
18:19A train.
18:20Well, now, let's see about that.
18:23Here you are.
18:24Can I have it?
18:25Sure.
18:26Look what Santa gave me.
18:28Oh, great.
18:30Okay, Santa, where do I pay for this?
18:32Since when does Santa Claus charge?
18:35You mean, oh, well, Merry Christmas, Santa.
18:40Ho, ho, ho, next little girl.
18:43Well, well, here's a nice little girl.
18:45What do you want for Christmas?
18:51I believe I was next.
19:02Having fun?
19:07There's a little hoyton in all of us.
19:10The freight train won't run.
19:11Put it back on the track.
19:12Oh, sure.
19:20Oh, uh, it's off the track.
19:23Naturally, that's why it won't run.
19:25Mm-hmm.
19:27It may interest you to know the tropical fish never heard of my father.
19:32Oh?
19:34Personnel tells me he works for you.
19:35Where is he?
19:36Oh, didn't you know he's Santa Claus?
19:38He's right over there.
19:39Well, I'll be right with you.
19:40Look, you can't take my Santa Claus.
19:42I need him.
19:43So do I.
19:46Merry Christmas.
19:47Ho, ho, ho.
19:51Kim, thank goodness you're here.
19:52Can you stay with Susan?
19:53I've got to find Dolly.
19:55Sure, what's up?
19:56Mr. Finley's giving toys away.
19:58He can't do that.
19:59Oh, yes, he can.
20:00Um, darling, you stay here.
20:02I mean, Uncle Gus will be right over here when you get through talking to Santa.
20:05Now, I'll be right back until your mommy comes, okay?
20:08Okay.
20:08Bye.
20:08Father, I want to talk to you.
20:17Go to the end of the line, Sonny.
20:22I want to talk to you right now.
20:25We must take a turn.
20:26That's the only fair way.
20:29Father.
20:32Here's a Dolly for you.
20:33Is there a little girl named Susan here?
20:41Oh, yes, ma'am.
20:42Right there.
20:46Hello, Susan.
20:47Honey, your mother's looking all over for you.
20:50Come along.
20:51Ah, can't she wait to see Santa?
20:53She's next.
20:54Oh, I guess so.
20:59Let me see your sales book, Mrs. Gates.
21:02We ought to be breaking some sort of a record.
21:05A bully for us.
21:08Is this all you've sold?
21:10Every red set, including your percentage.
21:13Well, who's been selling all the dolls and trains?
21:17Must be one of the other girls, not I.
21:19Dolly, we have some figuring out to do.
21:32What?
21:33Mr. Finley's giving away toys.
21:35The big ones.
21:36Dolls and trains.
21:37Oh, we've got to stop him.
21:39Please don't tell Mr. Wallace yet.
21:40We should be able to figure something out.
21:41We can't hurt him, Dolly.
21:43Hurt him?
21:44Mr. Wallace will have him flogged from here to the mezzanine.
21:47Does he know?
21:51He's finding out awfully fast.
21:55Three gross dolls, seven dozen trains, and 14.
22:01If I didn't know better, I'd swear we were giving this stuff away.
22:05You are.
22:07What do you mean, Mrs. Angel?
22:09Well, Mr. Finley thinks he's Santa Claus.
22:12He really thinks it.
22:14So, he's giving the toys away.
22:17Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:20I'll kill him.
22:21No, please.
22:22Listen a minute, Mr. Wallace, please.
22:24He's a good, kind man.
22:25I just couldn't bear to see him hurt.
22:27He's being good and kind with Martindale property.
22:31But he has no idea he's doing anything wrong.
22:34My husband and I don't have much money, but...
22:37Why, I wouldn't let you pay for it if you offered.
22:40It's his mistake, and he'll take the consequences.
22:42Oh, please, Mr. Wallace.
22:44Maybe if you just told him not to do it anymore.
22:46Oh, he'll be told, all right.
22:48That's not all he'll be told.
22:50Mr. Wallace.
22:51Becky.
22:52No use.
22:53Look, I think I've got an idea.
22:55What?
22:55Come on.
22:56I'll call Mr. Mark.
22:56Come on.
22:57Come on.
22:57Come on.
22:57Sometimes you don't see what you think you see.
23:06Actually, there is only one girl in this picture.
23:09The reason you see several is because of a neat trick with mirrors.
23:13Tricks are used to create an impression or illusion.
23:17But there are no tricks about the new Plymouth.
23:21It's exactly as you see it.
23:23America's most advanced styled car.
23:25Its clean, uncluttered beauty stands as a fitting symbol of automobile styling perfection.
23:32From impressive new front end, with that custom car luxury look,
23:37along its low, sweeping silver dart lines,
23:41here is styling that will stay new for years to come.
23:45And only Plymouth in its field has the riding superiority of torsion air suspension,
23:51the most advanced complete suspension system in use today.
23:55It's yours at no extra cost in every new Plymouth.
23:59Now add to this all of Plymouth's many other sensational new features,
24:03and you'll see why.
24:05There's no catching Plymouth now.
24:07Plymouth is ahead for keeps.
24:10And remember, be sure to see your Plymouth dealer tomorrow
24:13for your entry blank in Plymouth's gigantic money ahead contest.
24:17The grand prize is $500 a month for the rest of your life.
24:23And you may be the winner.
24:29Ho, ho, ho.
24:31You do that good.
24:33Thank you, Ryan.
24:35Do my best.
24:36I want to talk to you.
24:38Go to the end of the line, Mr. Jones.
24:42You want a dolly?
24:43Yes, sir.
24:45Here's a dolly for you.
24:47Oh, don't thank me.
24:49Thank Mr. Jones.
24:50He made a deal with Santa Claus.
24:54Thank you, Mr. Jones.
25:09You know, Sonny, you're making a lot of children mighty happy.
25:12There ought to be more people like you in this world.
25:22Well, that's that.
25:24I guess Mr. Martindale's out spying on the May Company.
25:28Maybe we could try once more to make Mr. Wallace understand.
25:32The only thing Mr. Wallace understands is compound interest.
25:37Losing his job is what's going to hurt Mr. Finley.
25:40Getting soaked for all those smackers isn't exactly going to...
25:43Hey, come on.
25:44Come on.
25:45Come on.
25:45Come on.
25:45What?
25:46What?
26:01Accounting department?
26:02Wallace and toys.
26:04You're going to find the shortage of about $400 in my department.
26:07No, no, nothing like that.
26:10Don't be concerned.
26:11It'll be covered.
26:13I'll give you my personal check for the full amount.
26:15And this is for you.
26:35Merry Christmas.
26:37Ho, ho, ho.
26:38Next.
26:39I will stand, Father.
26:48What did you wish to say to me?
26:50Father, I...
26:51This...
26:53I'll drive you home in the car when you're through work.
26:58Fine.
26:59I'll be a good boy, sonny.
27:01I'll try.
27:04I hate to go without at least thanking Mr. Wong.
27:11That was a very nice thing he did.
27:12Yeah, but the worst thing he could do is let Mr. Wallace know you found out he's soft-hearted.
27:16Oh, ho, ho.
27:17We'll see you later, darling.
27:19Bye.
27:19Very good.
27:34Bye.
28:04Got a date with an angel, going to meet her at seven.
28:29Got a date with an angel, and I'm on my way to heaven.
28:33Ladies and gentlemen, your Plymouth dealer invites you to watch
29:03the Lawrence Welk program, top tunes, and new talent on this same network.
29:08Tom Kennedy speaking.
29:09Good night, everybody.
