    Music Hath Charms

    Send us Fan Mail This week's episode is a whirlwind of musical mischief. We meet two self‑proclaimed Pied Pipers — one trying to whistle to pigs but got himself a date with the judge. In the 2nd story, fifty people were lead by a vocalist and a flute to dance down a street. A devoted musician becomes a private eye to find a stolen century‑old violin and sparks fly when “Turkey in the Straw” is played on it. Next, a circus midget returns home and fiddles his way into jail using a loaf of bread and a carrot leading to a command performance at Municipal Farm. Thrown into this medley of comical characters, the Salvation Army becomes a nuisance and mixing music with whiskey becomes illegal. Karen O'Infinity makes a return with her singing debut and Gomer Clodhopper has a cameo as a banjo artiste!

Unattractive men get reminded not to look a gift horse in the mouth. City slickers get hoodwinked by a hayseed, a big‑nosed “Mongoose” and Silent John are forced to win $200,000, and Maxey, aka Gold‑Tooth, retires rich while folding napkins for the war effort. We meet Karen O’Infinity, who enlightens us about pimps and brothels, while across town Gomer Clodhopper provides details on “Mad Dog.” And finally, Mormon Bishop Pills gets a rise out of men.

    Youth Has It's Fling

    Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is truly “hair‑raising.” A destitute, dark‑haired Rapunzel sells her hair for a movie ticket, while two grown women become best friends and roommates over their shared love of entertainment—until an undercover detective sends them both back home to their parents. Neighborhood boys spark a miniature border war that gets a neighbor lady arrested. We uncover the real truth about what used to soothe cranky babies. Pope Leo XIII drinks cocaine wine. A bad‑driving doctor hits a pedestrian and then tries to pawn off his daughter on the victim. A male cook from the Midget Restaurant hides under a woman’s bed. Thieves steal an entire sidewalk. A bride and groom get the neighbor’s 13‑year‑old son drunk. A traveling salesman has buyer’s remorse then claims an exotic woman stole his money. A proto‑FaceTime machine from 1905 foreshadows today’s hidden webcams and virtual‑meeting fatigue. And somewhere in the middle of all this, I catch a fever and Oxford University teaches me how to spell.

Also, Grace thinks she can reform a bad boy, and we find that “Breezing Along” with a "Tart" reaps an award no one wants. Plus, don’t miss our “It Takes Two to Tango” segment, and meet a garbage man who ultimately kills with just a gaze.
