 Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and Luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous Corusable hair bring you our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden It's time once again for another comedy episode of our miss Brooks under the direction of Al Lewis Well, it's always wise to obey the traffic regulations and our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School Has always tried to do so Especially since last week when our beloved principal mr. Conklin Instituted another of his drive safely campaigns Friday morning at breakfast my landlady asked the reason What's behind this campaign time? Oh same thing as last month mrs. Davis somebody parked too close to his car and scratched his bumper As if that wasn't enough. I got this ticket last Monday right after he warned us about driving carefully But you didn't tell me about it. I was afraid to mention it if mr. Conklin hears about it I'm a goner. What kind of a ticket was it Connie for illegal parking? Not exactly It's for speeding going through a red light reckless driving driving on the sidewalk and hitting a fruit stand Well my goodness a person's entitled to a little of fun once in a while You don't understand mrs. Davis none of it was my fault. Oh, who was driving nobody? I Know you haven't much money Connie, but if we sell my Hudson you can go away for a nice long rest I may go away without selling your Hudson Fortunately, I asked for a trial by jury. I'm sure I can prove my innocence to them Well, I'm sure you can dear now. How about proving it to me? Of course I simply ran out of gas mrs. Davis So I parked my car on top of a hill and walked down to get some Then some idiot tried to squeeze into the parking space behind my car And in doing so pushed it hard enough to start it rolling when it came to a stop against the fruit stand I ran over to try and back it off the sidewalk. That's when the policeman came over and wrote out this ticket But Connie why didn't you apply the brakes before it hit the fruit stand? I told you I wasn't in the car. Oh Well, couldn't you explain that to the policeman? I did but he insisted that driving from outside the car is very dangerous Anyway, he wouldn't listen to reason and I've got to be in court today at 2 p.m But school won't be over by 2 for me it will My problem now is to get off without mr. Conklin knowing why oh, that's Walter Denton He's driving me to school today. The mechanic is still picking peaches out of my fan belt I'm in Walter. I'll put up some more toast. Walter always likes to have his second breakfast with us Greetings most radiant son in my universe I haven't come up yet What makes you so chipper this morning the movie I saw last night William Bendix and Johnny holiday It shows that no matter how underprivileged you are or that even if you run a foul of the law There's still a way out. You didn't get here a minute too soon I was a little brought down after the movie when I took Harriet Conklin home Now I wasn't on her porch five minutes before her father politely asked me to leave politely I jumped down the steps before he could kick me What's the matter with you this morning miss Brooks you look a little glum I am a little but I'd rather not discuss it if you don't mind. Well, maybe I can help. What's wrong? I'm afraid it's a secret Walter. Hello, Walter. I fix some cinnamon toast for us Also, well, Mrs. Davis and how are you this morning? I'm fine. Thanks, but miss Brooks could do with a little cheering up That traffic ticket has her all upset Mrs. Davis. So that's why you're glum Well, when did you get the ticket miss Brooks last Monday, Walter? But I don't want anybody to know about it. Your secret will never pass my lips What did you get the ticket for well according to the policeman who made it out? It's for speeding going through a red light reckless driving driving on the sidewalk and hitting a fruit Stand For that you got a ticket Sure cracking down aren't they It wasn't her fault She simply parked on the top of a hill to get some gas which I'd run out of then when another car tried to park behind my Car it was pushed and started rolling down the hill That's when it went through the red light up on the sidewalk and into the fruit stand. Yeah, but there's one thing I don't understand. What's that before your car hit the fruit stand Why didn't you put on the brakes? I had lost them playing canasta Look, I'll explain the gory details on our way down right now I've got to figure out some way to get out of school so I can appear and court at two o'clock Well, I've got an idea miss Brooks Why don't you just take the ticket down and show it to mr. Conklin wonderful, Walter? Then I won't have to go to court at all. He'll hang me in his office We seem to have beaten mr. Conklin to school this morning his office doors open and he's not in it Well, it's just as well I'll have another few minutes to think up a good excuse for wanting this afternoon off. I'll keep you company till he shows up Come on. Let's go in. All right Say what's this by his desk? It's a fishing rod boy. You look at this swell trout fly on the hook Oh, I'm real good at fly casting. Hey watch this miss Brooks Look at me. I caught a wastebasket That isn't all you'll catch if mr. Conklin walks in oh, it's pretty early for him. I guess old marble head Mr. Conklin Fishing trip after school. Oh boy, that's a life. Yeah, it must be fun at that fun here miss Brooks Just half this pole and go ahead grab hold like this right now toss the hook at the wastebasket Go ahead. You won't hurt anything. Oh, but I've never done anything like this Just throw it back first and then forward. Oh, there's nothing to it like this What was that? I don't know but it feels like a whopper Father reeling me in I'll come quietly. Mr. Conklin. Well, I gotta be running along now. I just remembered my well Oh, I'm I'm terribly sorry mr. Conklin here. Let me help you get the hook out stand back I'm going to be fill aid. I'll do it myself Oh There it's out. So are you Little rip behind the knee of your trousers. I'll sew that up in no time never mind miss Brooks I'll have them repaired and send you the bill. Oh good Mr. Conklin, I know you're not the type of person to hold a grudge. Oh, I'm not am I not no, sir You're not sir. You're not That's why I'd like to ask you if I might have this afternoon off what Miss Brooks as much as I need the rest Request denied. Oh, but it's urgent, sir. That will be all miss Brooks. Just miss Hello, Harriet, I haven't seen much of you lately. We're in the world. Have you been keeping yourself me? I've been fishing fishing you. That's right.

Boynton in the school cafeteria, I thought it best to conceal my dilemma Oh, here's a nice table mr. Boynton. Let's sit down here. All right, miss Brooks May I hold your tray if that's your best offer go ahead? Thanks mr. Boynton Your gallantry is quite overwhelming this afternoon. It was very nice of you to pay the check for all this food Don't mention it miss Brooks with that tray in your hands. I realized you'd have difficulty reaching into your purse That was very thoughtful. You can give me back the 50 cents anytime No, hurry about it miss Brooks, I know that you know, I like to keep my book straight You always pay your debts, so why should I worry about it mr. Boynton? I also know that you're well aware of the fact that I don't make any more money than you do So well, it'd be rather foolish gesture for me to actually treat for lunches mr. Boynton I haven't a quam in the world about Laying out this 50 cents. I know I'll get it back Maybe not today. Maybe maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not even this week But I know that someday some way Thanks You're welcome sporty Fine, you know, I'm happy to see that your traffic ticket hasn't spoiled your appetite now I don't believe in letting How did you know about my traffic ticket Walter Denton told me about it? I teach him third-term biology, you know Somebody should teach him to keep his mouth closed He promised me that he wouldn't mention it. Oh, he told me he wasn't supposed to tell me before he told me. Oh, that's different You shouldn't brood about a traffic ticket miss Brooks, especially since you're completely innocent There's just one thing I can't figure out about that accident though That's why you didn't slam on the brakes before you hit the fruit stand Mr. Boynton it's faith such as yours that gives me the courage to stand up and quit Honestly if I have half as much trouble with that mr. Boynton mind if I join you the cafeteria is filled a Kappa city Might be pretty country up there How's the old pitching arms not grass you think we'll be Clay City this year Well, I hope so mr. Boynton right now. I'm not too worried about athletics and my personal physicality. It's mentality I'm upset. I can't understand it It's the final exams. They're coming up soon, and I think I might flunk some of them in fact There's only one subject. I'm pretty sure I'll unflunk. Oh, what's that English naturally? Now look stretch the fact that I've been patient with you and tried to help you stay eligible for athletics Shouldn't that influence you to relax in your study of English? You know, I won't miss Brooks from here on in I'm gonna stick my head in my books and bone like mad Well, you've certainly got the head for it Still a few weeks though stretch and I'll help you all I can now will you pass the mustard, please? Yeah, ma'am Well, sure does my heart good to see eating. I thought sure your appetite will be shot shot. Why Walter Denton told me about your traffic ticket You know, this would have been more of a secret if I'd published it in the newspaper Miss Brooks is completely innocent stretch. I know we all know it's just a bunch of trapped up charges When you tell a story in court miss Brooks, they'll let you off in a jaffy There's absolutely nothing to worry about thank you counselor and remember all us kids at school love you like our own mothers So you can be sure you'll keep getting candy and things wherever they send you They're not sending her anywhere stretch miss Brooks is going down to court stand trial and she'll be back with us in a matter of hours Well, I certainly stretch of course if something should go wrong Well, is there any little gift or something you'd like to take with you? Yes, mr. Barton there is I saw a wonderful doll in Sherry's department store the other day It's called a tiny tears doll. Oh, I've seen that she cries real tears when you squeeze her Well, lots of dolls do that you keep out of this I always say it's up to the doll and who does the squeezing But I thought that a doll would be nice company in the cell you two have assigned me gosh miss Brooks I didn't mean it that way folks mind if I join the group. Well, if it isn't Paul revere I told miss Brooks that you told me Walter what fine blabbermouth you are Look miss Brooks. I only told the people I thought would want to help you like I do I'm sure he meant well miss Brooks. We would like to help you plot some sort of a defense I appreciate your interest mr. Boynham, but my immediate problem isn't the court itself But how to get there if you'll all excuse me now I'm going to print up a bit and take one more crack at mr. Conklin. Oh certainly miss Brooks. What's a lot miss Brooks? Yeah, take a crack at him for me miss Brooks. I mean see you later Boys there goes a fine upstanding young woman. Those are the best kind Oh She won't be upstanding long if she bucks up against mr. Conklin We've got to figure some way we can spring miss Brooks by two o'clock springer. Yeah, get her out of here without mr. Conklin No, and why No, wait a minute. I've got a thought Suppose one of us were taken ill suddenly Maybe we could get mr. Conklin to let miss Brooks take the stricken party home Yeah, then when they got off the school ground she could go to court and the one who was suddenly taken ill can get suddenly taken well and blow for the day No, I don't think that's a feasible plan boys at least as far as I'm concerned whenever I tell it on truth. I hiccup. It's psychosomatic Yeah, I guess it is Mr. Boynham if we don't try my scheme, what will we do? Well, we'll just have to think further Walter Okay, well you heard him stretch keep that old brain working. Please not while I'm eating Finished with lunch daddy. I just thought I'd stop by your office and see if you wanted something. No, thank you Harriet I'm quite full. I've been eating my heart out. I just received a call that cancels my fishing trip What kind of a call daddy? I've been called for jury duty Harriet shirking one civic duty is totally unamerican Jury duty like voting is an honor and a privilege and a great American heritage, and I've weaseled out of it twice already You have to be there all today if it wasn't for some stubborn female who insisted on a jury trial for a traffic violation She'll get a jury trial Oh But daddy wouldn't you have to leave school at 1 30 Harriet and whatever you do keep my going a secret The minute anyone knows I'm off the grounds. They start cutting classes They've got all sorts of excuses, but I know it's the weather on these lovely days cutting is a great temptation Is that why you were going fishing daddy? Hush child Okay, daddy see you tonight Six months I've been looking forward to casting this rod. Oh, what a beauty you are Come in It's you again What now miss Brooke? I'd like to go home. Mr. Conklin. I don't feel well Not four hours ago you harpooned me with a fish hook and now you don't feel well I'm not just thinking of myself, sir. It's the students. I might be suffering from something contagious Excuse me miss Brooks, but I've got to talk to mr. Conklin What do you want Denton? I'd like to go home mr. Conklin. I don't feel well Well, what do you know miss Brooks Denton's caught your melody already read it Walder. I'm working this side of the street This boy may be telling the truth mr. Conklin. Oh really mr. Conklin. I'm sinking fast I think miss Brooks ought to take me home. I second the motion mr. Conklin. He must be sick. He looks terrible Yes, he does But he's not sick Sure, I am look at my tongue Roll that up and now put it back in its holster I'd better take him home mr. Conklin before this spreads Mr. Conklin. Yes, what is it's not grass? I'm sick as a dog It's an epidemic dropping like flies I got spots before my eyes, I guess it's my appendix The spots look like your appendix. Yeah only bigger And would you say they look like my appendix? Well, I got other things too like Reminitism Infligration of the sacral alley act how about hardening of the artilleries I'm sure I got a touch of those Amazing improvisation. Oh, that's been kicking up a lot too lately Maybe mr. Brooks ought to take me home. I've already been spoken for a stretch. Yes Florence nightingale is ministering to the wards today Pardon me mr. Conklin What do you want boyton Someone someone had better take me home sir. I don't feel very well I Said Sick And what pray are you suffering from it's only fair to warn you mr. Boynton that we've used up appendicitis Rheumatism and hardening of the artilleries Now see here all of you I know what's behind these shenanigans and I won't stand for it There'll be no cutting classes at this institution just because a few balmy days come along I haven't time now to deliver the lecture you all so richly deserve Suffice it to say I'll deal with this problem later on now return to your classes at once dismissed Let's go fellas. Now that was a pretty scene. What do we do for a non-core? We just wanted to help miss Brooks. I guess we got our signals crossed. Hi miss Brooks. I left my person Say what are you all doing outside daddy's office? We're trying to get him to do miss Brooks a favor He picked a pretty poor time to ask him for favors. He's had to cancel his fishing trip so he can leave school at 1 30 and oh Dear, I wasn't supposed to mention that Harriet Did you say that your daddy's leaving the premises at 1 30? Yes, but you've got to promise not to let it go any further. It doesn't have to go any further Excuse me kids, but I'm gonna take off right now. Good luck miss Brooks. Yeah all the best to you miss Brooks I don't know what came up that made our principal cancel his fishing trip, but I'll tell you one thing I'd hate to fuck up against old Marvel head today Your honor as a firm believer in our American system of justice I have confidence in the fairness and impartiality of this jury and if it pleases the court I should like to address my remarks directly to them Ladies and gentlemen of the jury Yes miss Brooks I wonder how long it takes to become a trustee Returns in just a moment, but first Tonight yes tonight show him how much lovelier your hair can look after a luster cream shampoo Luster cream world's finest shampoo No other shampoo in the world gives you K.

Look who I've invited for tea. Why it's Walder and Harriet Mr. Boynton. Well, this is a surprise. Hello, miss Brooks. Oh Hello, mr. Conklin. I think you've been punished enough my dear So when Mrs. Davis asked me to tea, I took it as an opportunity to bury the hatchet.
