The series' alternate sponsor was American Tobacco, on behalf of Pall Mall, Lucky Strike, and "Dual Filter" Tareyton (depending on which brand they were "pushing" during the episode).
This was adapted from a 1951 NBC summer radio series, "IT'S HIGGINS, SIR", with Harry McNaughton originally playing the lead role. This was the very first episode of the TV series [October 3, 1962, sponsored by General Motors' Pontiac division], adapted from the July 3, 1951 radio script, "Higgins Arrives". The TV show lasted 21 episodes more than the radio vresion!
Video stops and starts. Stopped five times in forty seconds and I had to give up.
