 That's the theme of the Sears Radio Theatre. Tonight's story is a comedy with Andy Griffith as your host. Here's a preview. You'll have to take over for a while. I'm deeming down to Earth, to Canada. Griff, warmly, and have fun, sir. Guardian angels aren't supposed to have fun, Dora. Oh, yes, sir. This is a fact-finding mission. In fact, I'm trying to find McLeod. The Sears Radio Theatre will begin after this message from your local station. Hi, I'm Jim Bakken. You know, trying to kick a football through goalposts and searching for a used car are similar. Sometimes you make the extra points, sometimes you don't. And sometimes you find the car you want, but you know how that goes. I don't know any sure-fire way to get those extra points every time, but I know a new way to make used car shopping a cinch. It's the St. Louis Suburban newspaper's new Sharp Pencil Guide, a collection of the best used cars from the area's leading auto dealers. You'll find it in the classified section of your September 12th issue. I've been stranded on this desert island for 27 months now. And if it weren't for these Max Cell cassettes of boss, Beethoven, Brahms, and Barry Manilow, I'd simply go crazy. You see, when I was washed ashore, I met this man named Spider. He already had everything taped on Max Cell cassettes. So I just lie here, listen to great music, and watch shifts passing in the night. I don't care if I'm never rescued. All I can say is thank God for Friday. Listen to your Max Cell deal as the sound results. This is Andy Griffith, and we have a problem on our hands. Actually, it's Teddy's problem. He manages Kate McCall, who has a highly developed... Well, shall we say beautifully formed? Well, she's an exotic dancer, if you know what I mean. Hey, hey, Kate. Want to hear the hot new angle I got? Maybe you've got more angles in the top of your eyes. Is that a yes or a no? Yes, it was a no. Oh, I'm first, Teddy. I'll be in my undressing room. Sure, Kate. I can see that once a year, Kate will be my only child. Why can't my problems look like that? You can convince her, Teddy. You may take some doings, but like they say, Rome was in Britain at day. Burnt? I think it's time we extinguished ourselves from this particular situation. If you think the problems on Earth can get complicated, imagine what sort of problems might develop in another place. Sir? What on Earth is it, Doris? Sir, an unscorted soul has arrived at the gate. An unscorted soul? Well, who does it belong to? It's a Mr. Williams from Oshkosh, sir. We're in the office of Angus McCumulus, chief dispatcher for all guardian angels everywhere. Did you say, uh, Mr. Williams from Oshkosh? Yes, I did, sir. Oh, it figures. Somebody up here doesn't like me. McCloud again, sir. Who else? He's off somewhere having fun again. I'll try to locate guardian angel McCloud, sir. Thank you, Doris, and tell him to get his, you know what, up here on the double. Yes, sir. A lost soul, an exotic dancer, and a firm-loving guardian angel. And that's only the beginning of our story. Radio Theatre, a new adventure in radio listening.

You sent for me, sir? I did, McLeod. Ever see. I'd rather flutter about, if I may, sir. Well, suit yourself to get to the point, McLeod. I have a few questions regarding your behavior on Earth. Questions, sir? I've tried to conduct myself in compliance with the Guardian Angel Code at all times. Really, McLeod? And why do you still appear as a burning bush? Oh, sometimes it just happens, sir. If I'm nervous, excited, it's not that easy to control. Well, I suggest you learn to control it, McLeod. The new safety regulations are in effect, and the burning bush is definitely out. Of course, you would know all about this if you had read your code. Yes, sir. In fact, McLeod, for the time being, it might be best if you remain visible down on Earth. Oh, take away my power of invisibility, sir. Not the end of the world, McLeod. I even had to do it to Gabriel once. But, sir, my effectiveness. This could only help your effectiveness, McLeod. But everyone will be able to see me. Well, that's the idea. Uh, is there anything else, sir? Uh, yes, McLeod. How is your charge, Mr. Williams? Mr. Williams? Oh, he's not fine, sir. Do you know where Mr. Williams is at this moment? Yes, sir. He's down to sleep in Oshkosh. Are you certain, McLeod? Uh, well, I'm pretty sure he's there. He was when I left for New Orleans. And what were you doing in New Orleans, McLeod? Just having fun, sir. Guardian angels are not supposed to have fun, McLeod. While you were out boogieing in the French Quarter, Mr. Williams was passing through the pearly gate. Oh, gee, where's that monthly story, sir? Sorry, McLeod. Suppose Mr. Williams had gotten lost, or all ended up in the wrong place. That would have been a thorny situation, sir. Thorny, McLeod. You've been a thorn in my side ever since you were a sheriff. Why, if I hadn't promised your father I'd look after you. Oh, if you'd just give me another chance, sir. Quiet, McLeod. I ain't just a commuter here. What? Why, that's awful. I'll get on it right away. Sad news, sir. Of course, McLeod. McNimbus broke away and he'll be out for a month. Now I've got to get a replacement in Franco. Who's his charge? Oh, some sweet little girl named Kate McCall. And McNimbus was making such progress with her. Doris, please send in the roster of all available angels. What does she do with this sweet little girl? Well, right now she's an exotic dancer, but McNimbus has her interested in stamp collecting and watercolor. I'm sorry, sir, but there is no roster out here. Are you sure? Suffering seraphim. No available angels. What do I do now? I'm available, sir. Do I look like I've lost my mind, McLeod? This case requires tax finesse. But, sir, I do have a certain rapport with the female of the species. Oh, I suppose it's any port in the storm. McLeod, good for you, sir. I'll do my best. I'm afraid that will have to do, McLeod. Now, here's a brief report that McNimbus filed about Miss McCall. It'll give you some idea of her background, habits, et cetera. And I expect you to read... Oh, yes, sir. I'll read it on my way down. And here's a recent photo of Miss McCall. Wow. What a heavenly body. Oh, I hope I know what I'm doing. You'll find her at the No-Holes Bar in Champaign, Illinois. This is my kind of assignment. All right. Shake a wing, McLeod. Time as good as gone, sir. And keep that burning force under control. All right, sir. There goes the only guardian angel who needs a guardian angel.

I want to do something completely different. What's it about? Has it got a title? I think I'll call it Nero Burns while Rome fiddles. You mean Nero fiddles while Rome burns, don't you? You haven't seen the finished painting yet. Yeah. About this new angle I got. It's a piece of cake. If I have to pop out of one more cake, Teddy, the answer is... Oh, come on. Skin me out. I'd rather see you out. Listen, Kate, this time we even got the scientific community on our side. Oh, Teddy, sometimes you burn me up. It's kind of what I had in mind. What on earth are you talking about? Okay, here's the scam. This professor's invented this miracle substance, see? You can spray it on your clothes and light a match to it. Are you out of your mind? Wait a minute, Kate. You light up like a Roman candle, see? But in a few seconds it burns off and nothing's harmed. Not even a stitch of your clothing. It's not the clothing I worried about. Picture this, Kate. A dark and braless cast. A hush pours over the crowd. We sense movement out on the runway. You light yourself up and boom. The whole place goes nuts. The flaming stripper. You'll have every puddle in the country after you. Not to mention every fire marshal. Oh, look, Teddy, I wouldn't even do this for Smokey the Bear. This is legit, Kate. In fact, the professor will be in a little while. He can explain it a lot better than I can. Well, I hope so. You know, you're just like a brother to me, Teddy, and I do almost anything for you. But I'm not ready for my career to go up in smoke. Relax, Kate. The professor's a real smart guy. He must have a hundred degrees. Please, do you have to mention degrees? Just listen to the man, Kate. That's all I ask. That's all? Well, I took the liberty of arranging a few club dates for you and the professor, kind of a shakedown cruise before we go nationwide. You're using me as a guinea pig, Teddy. How could you? It was the most difficult decision of my life, Kate. And be nice to the professor when he gets here, okay? He's a little strange. Let's see. You know, I could stand a few more flames. Yeah, that's perfect. You sure hope Teddy knows what he's doing. He's come up with some heroine scheme before. This time he wanted me to pop out of a cake at a baker's convention. He didn't tell me he wanted to bake me into it first. Kate, it's Teddy again. The door's open, Teddy. Is he here yet, the professor? Sorry. Nobody here but the reluctant human torch. Must be running late. I swear some of these guys would be late for their own funeral. Do you have to mention funeral, Teddy? Don't be so touchy, Kate. I've seen a demonstration, and this thing is 99% safe. Ninety-nine percent? Well, nobody's perfect. Now, here's a list of the clubs I got you and the professor booked into. Oh, not the crowbar in Galesburg, Teddy. And why not? The town's got a great volunteer fire department. You're not exactly kindling my fate. Everything goes right. We opened in Chicago in six weeks. Thanks, Teddy. I'll be out front if you need me, Kate. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Oh, I wonder if I'm insured against fire damage. Oh, where is that darn insuring smokey mind? Out in there. Maybe it's in the closet. Who are you? How did you get in here? What are you doing in my dressing room? Well, why don't you answer me? Well, you haven't given me a chance. Well, here's your chance, and you'd better make it good, or I'm calling the police. The police? I haven't done anything. Breaking and entering. What if I break? I'll gladly replace it. Hey, hey. You smell something burning? I can't tell. I seem to have caught a cold on the way down. Something's burning in this room. Yes, it does seem a trifle warm, Oliver. Kate, Kate, you close it on fire. You're burning like a bush. Don't move. I'll catch something. Anything. That's all right. It'll burn out in a second. I'll be fine. Goodness. That was the worst case of spontaneous combustion I've ever seen. In fact, it's the only case I've ever seen. Are you all right? Yes, I'm fine, honest. If I could just sit down. Sure. Yes, that's marvelous. Thank you. Hey, your clothes aren't burned. Your hair isn't singed. You don't seem harmed in any way. No, of course not. Oh, I get it. You must be that professor. What's his name? McLeod, Michael McLeod. But I'm not exactly a professor. That's all right. Teddy gets these things confused all the time. How did you do that? Yeah, I didn't see you put any special formula on your clothes. Special formula? You know, a miracle substance? I thought you could coat a person's clothing with a flammable substance. Dear me, you do have an imagination. Oh, that darn Teddy. He gets everything confused. Well, can you teach me to catch on fire like that? Well, it's not something you can learn overnight, you know. It's taken some of us a lifetime to learn it. Well, I haven't got quite that much time. Teddy's got us all set to open in Chicago in six weeks. Oh, six weeks is hardly enough time. Can you be surprised what can happen in six weeks, Mr. McLeod? Yes, I'm sure I will be. Now, Teddy wants us to play a few of the smaller clubs to get the bugs out. Bugs? What exactly are we going to do, Miss McLeod? I think that you're a professor. That shall be his talk for perfecting your routine. And if we're going to be working together for the next six weeks, you better learn to call me Kate. It seems I'll be learning a lot of things, Kate. Me too. Now, you ready, Mr. McLeod? Michael, please. See? You're learning already, Michael. Maybe I should leave Teddy a note. No. It would serve him right after all the confusion he's caused. We can go out the back way. My car is out there. Kate, it's Teddy. Guess who's here? Kate, he's out front now. We don't want to keep the professor waiting, Kate. Kate? You who, Kate? That's funny. She's got to be around here. Her paints are still warm. You hiding in the closet, Kate? You can come out now. That girl brings me up sometimes. Hey, that sounds like Kate's car. It is her car. And who's acting the car with us? Here's Radio Theatre. We'll return after this message from your local station. The Osmobile Factory incentive program continues. That's great news for you, because there's never been a better time than now to buy a new old, especially if some Frank Bomarito Osmobile. The incentives program continues for a limited time only, so don't delay. See, Frank, while the selection is not standing, the prices are even better. Frank says you could be making a $500 mistake by not seeing Bomarito. You're going to save hundreds during the Queen's week sale, but who's now? Frank's inventory is still excellent. That means you'll be able to buy the old of your choice. You can also get a sneak preview of the exciting 1980 model right now. To stop me today while the factory incentive program continues, Frank is cleaning out a 1979 model. Remember, it could cost you $500, not to see Bomarito Osmobile. Frank Bomarito Osmobile. 1190 Manchester Road at Ellisville, also offering EMC trucks and Mazda. To run up and down your spine, there's a creeping sensation at the back of your neck. You're listening to CBS Radio Mystery Dare. I'm E. G. Marshall, your host for these hour-long dramas of suspense, adventure and the macabre. Heard seven times a week on most of these stations. Here's a sample of what we mean. What is happening? You're crazy. You do. You're drunk. Yes! We've got to get out of this house. I don't know what it is, but we've got to get out. I knew there was something about that picture. Come on, Georgia! Listen here for CBS Radio Mystery Theatre seven times a week on most of these CBS radio network stations. Main attraction deserves him, and now the professor won't leave him alone. No, professor. I haven't heard from him. It's been three weeks. Would I be interested in an invisibility rate? No thanks, professor. Don't call us, and we won't call you. What a crackpot. First, he wants to barbecue my number one attraction, and now he wants to make me invisible. No wonder Kate disappeared. I give anything to have her back, not to mention the rest of it. Teddy Tyler speaking. Hiya, Tony. How are things up in Rockford? Terrific. Glad to hear it. You want to thank me? For what? The hot and the whack I sent you? Tony, have you been sampling that private stock of yours? Kate's been there. My Kate? You sold out the whole weekend? And the fire department wants her for a fire prevention campaign? Wait a minute, Tony. Is she there now? They left last night for Kenosha? Thanks, Tony, so long. This can't be happening. She's doing the act without the professor. But how? Who's this guy with her? Well, only one way to find out. Off for Kenosha. Johnson is my home state, and me playing the bowl weevil club in Kenosha. It's like a dream come true. You must have unusual dreams, Kate. You're on, Kate. Thanks, Bob. I haven't had this much fun since New Orleans. Any word from McLeod yet? Not yet, sir. Thank you. I can't remember when an angel has given me more trouble. I used to like this job. An extremely long-distance call for you, sir. It sounds like Guardian Angel McLeod. Well, connect us, Doris. Angus McHughmill is here. It's McLeod, sir. McLeod, where the hell are you? I've been worried sick up here. Why haven't you reported earlier? This is the first opportunity I've had, sir. We've been very busy. We've been busy? Yes, sir. And she's making splendid progress, if I may say so. Oh, that's encouraging, McLeod. Stam collecting in watercolors. That's very funny, sir. Funny, McLeod? I wasn't joking. What are you doing down there? Just having fun, sir. McLeod, Guardian Angels aren't supposed to have fun. Are you still there, McLeod? Yes, I'm still here, sir. We seem to have a bad connection, McLeod. Where are you? I know, sir, sir. McLeod! McLeod! Suffering seraphim. It sounded like he said Canada. Doris! Yes, sir. You'll have to take over for a while. I'm beaming down to Earth, to Canada. Dress warmly and have fun, sir. Guardian Angels aren't supposed to have fun, Doris. Oh, yes, sir. This is a fact-finding mission. In fact, I'm trying to find McLeod. Yes, sir. Have McLeod called. Find out where he is. Goodbye, Doris. Good riddance. God well done, Kate. Well done. I thought I was... You were terrific. Well, in a few more weeks, you won't be needing me at all. Oh, don't say that, Michael. We can arrange something with Teddy. You can stay on as my trainer or my bodyguard. How about your Guardian Angels? Oh, sure, that too. Ah, we'd be the biggest thing to hit Chicago, says Mrs. O'Leary's cow. Move. Nothing can stop us now. All right. Nobody move. Now this is a raid. Nothing can stop us, huh? Almost nothing. Come on, you two. Let's move it. Chief Dispatcher McHugh, Mrs. Office. Doris, this is McHugh Millis. Oh, hello, sir. How are you? I got caught in a blizzard near Moose Jaw. The worst mess I've seen since we threw Lucifer and his rough necks out of paradise. Are you all right, sir? Oh, I'll live. Any word from McCloud? Not exactly, sir. What do you mean, not exactly? Well, McCloud hasn't reported in, sir. But something caught my eye in the Kenosha courier. It was my hometown paper, sir. Well, what caught your eye? Something on page 12 in the police blotter. Also arrested in the raid were exotic dancer Kate McCall and her bodyguard, Michael McCloud. They gave no hometown addresses. Hey, guard. Suffering seraphim. I'll be in Kenosha if you need me, Doris. I think they discovered you have a volatile personality. I may not be setting the world on fire, but I sure am having fun, Michael. Oh, so am I, Kate. This is the most fun I've had in ages. Guardian angels aren't supposed to have fun, McCloud. Back to business, Kate. Business? I hope you know where we're going, because I'm hopelessly lost. Sure I do. And where's that? I thought we'd make a short detour to my hometown. Oh, that's nice, Kate. What is your hometown? Oshkosh. Oshkosh? Is something the matter, Michael? I'm allergic to Oshkosh. I had a bad experience there. You've been to Oshkosh? Well, you might say I was stationed there. Small world, isn't it? Yeah, extremely. What kind of trouble did you have? I can't imagine anything bad happening there. It's such a sleepy place. Well, it had something to do with that. Sleeping. Oh, a sleep on the job. Night watchman or something. Yeah, something like that. Well, you won't mind going back. It won't be too painful for you, will it? Oh, no. No, I think everyone involved is long gone. Oh, good. Because I'd just like to drop in real quick. You could even meet my folks. Oh, I'd like that, Kate. And we could drop by the place where I got my star. Maybe do a show for old times' sake. You got your start in Oshkosh? Uh-huh. Larry's bar and grill. He said after he went topless, he changed it to Larry's bar and grill. Sounds like fun. Oh, sure. We'll have lots of fun, Michael. And you'll be safe. It's a quiet place. Nothing ever happens there. Nothing ever happens there. Well, you just relax. We'll be there in no time. Oh, Bo Weevil Club. The place still looks the same. Gee, it's been ages. Hey there, young fella. You're not supposed to be in here. We're closing till further notice. No kidding, Pop. You have some kind of running with the law? Yep. Hey, close it up after I take the call with her. Why'd they do that? Well, you know how she catches on fire and sorts of cook stressors? They said you didn't have enough fire exits, right? Nope. They said we needed a restaurant license. Gee, that's a shame, Pop. Is Kate still in town? Nope. She and that young fella left after they were released from jail. Any idea where they went? Well, you might play Oshkosh. That's her hometown. Oshkosh? Well, it's any port, as they say, in a storm. Chief Dispatch, I'm at your Mrs. Office. It's me, Doris. Any word from a cloud yet? Not yet, sir. What was the date on that MacLeod article, Doris? The seventh, sir. They've already left Kenosha. I'm surprised they stayed that long, sir. Well, I don't know where they could be. I'll be back up in a few minutes, Doris. One more thing, sir. Guardian Angel McNimbas has reported back for duty. He says his wing is much better and is ready to go. Oh, wonderful. Somebody up there likes me, Doris. Every MacLeod has a silver lining. McNimbas is here now, sir. What should I tell him? Don't tell him a thing and don't let him out of your sight. Yes, sir. I'm going to play a hunch, Doris, and if I'm lucky, I'll be back with MacLeod. I'm sure sorry about your folks, Kate. Oh, it's no big deal. People move all the time. Well, they could have let you know or left a forwarding address. But I move around a lot. They probably tried and you couldn't get hold of me. We were never much to see in touch. That's funny. I'm bad about keeping in touch, too. Kate, you're on X. Oh, Larry, have you met my trainer, Michael McLeod? That's just mine. Oh, are you Michael? Just fine, Larry. This is quite a place you've got here. Well, thanks. And that's what a girl you've got there. Oh, no, Larry. I've had a crush on her since high school. Hey, what ever happened to old Mr. Williams, the principal? Oh, didn't you hear? He passed away in his sleep about a month ago. Oh, that's a shame. Are you all right, Michael? Yes, yes. I'll be fine. I need some fresh air. You go ahead ahead, Kate. We don't want to keep the hometown folks waiting. He's right, Kate. Any time you're ready. Oh, there's no time like the present. I'll see you after the show, Michael. Sure, Kate. Knock him dead. What a small world. Well, I think I'll step outside for a minute. Oh, that crisp night air is good for the soul. It may be good for the soul, McLeod, but it's murder on a cold. Sir? Where are you? Right behind you, McLeod. Don't scare me like that, sir. How would you prefer to be scared, huh? Well, it sounds like you've got a cold, sir. I'm not here to discuss my health, McLeod. What are you doing here, sir? It's a small world, McLeod. I was about to ask you the same thing. I'm just doing my job, sir. It's the way you do it that bothers me, McLeod. Now, you were arrested in Kenosha. I know, sir, but I was released on my own recognizance. Well, you're the last person I trust you with, sir. Bless you, sir. Has it ever occurred to you that you might be doing more harm than good down here, McLeod? But she is having fun, sir. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Humans can have all the fun they like. And guardian angels aren't supposed to have any fun. Exactly, McLeod. It's too cold out here to argue now. You're coming back to headquarters with me. McNimbus is waiting in the wings to replace you. But, sir, she expects me backstage after the show. You're breaking my heart, McLeod. You may break hers, sir. Come along, McLeod. Please, sir, one more chance. Not on your life. I came to take you back, Kate. Take me back? Well, where's Michael? There's nobody here but me, Kate. Who's this Michael character? Who's Michael? Well, he's your professor friend. That's who. That's impossible, Kate. The professor turned out to be a crackpot. I'm confused, Teddy. You mean you don't know who Michael McLeod is? Never hated a man before in my life. Well, if he isn't a professor, how could I do what I've been doing? Beats me, Kate. Eh... You mean you can't do it by yourself? Maybe. Let me try. Not even a spark. Well, whoever he is, we've got to find him and fast. Oh, I see. With any luck, we can still open in Chicago. I'll settle for a cold shower in Oshkosh. I'll find super-values during Sears' fall-home appliance sale at most Sears retail stores. They're $20 to $100 on selected chemo appliances like refrigerators, washers, dryers, gas and electric ranges. More TVs and cereals. And they're big on a Kenmore trash compactor.

Fine craftsmen use a 26 steps and rubbing and finishing process to transform solid northern white pine and pine veneers into open-heart colonial-style furniture with open-heart family room furniture covered in a rich, earth-tone plaid. Taking steps to furnish your home, I'll direct your steps to Sears and discover open-heart family room furniture. Selected items from the collection on sale now. All items available at most larger Sears retail stores. Andy Griffiths again, and here's the concluding act of where guardian angels fear to tread. I don't understand what happened to him. He just disappeared. You know, he didn't really want to go to Oshkosh. I don't blame him. He said he'd had a bad experience there before. Kate, we turned that town upside down. If he's there, he'd have to be invisible. Oh, it's all so confusing, Kate. Sure it is, Kate. Why don't you take a breather? I'll keep an eye on things. Thanks, Kate. This means a lot to me. Don't mention it. You really miss this guy, huh? I really do. Well, we'll get him back to you somehow. McLeod, could you please perform your clean-up chores with a little left noise? What's that bothering you, sir? Bothering me, McLeod. You were irritating the hell out of me. Now keep it down to her more. Will you and be careful around that bust of you-know-who? This one, sir. That's the one. I want it polished, so be careful. Guardian angel McNimba's on the line, sir. Good. Connect us, Dora. Careful, McLeod. No, McNimba, I was talking to McLeod. How is your charge, McNimba? Well, not so good. What did McLeod do to her? Who? I don't think we'll ever be able to piece the whole story together, McNimba. All right, you do the best you can and keep me informed. Goodbye. Oh, wow! Oh, gee, I'm sorry, sir. McLeod, what am I going to do with you? I'll clean it up, sir. You'll do more than that, McLeod. You're going to glue that bust back together piece by piece. No, but there must be a million pieces. I don't care if it takes forever. Now get to work. Kate, it's Teddy. You decent? Come in, Teddy. Kate, I got some guys outside named McLeod. I thought you might want to look them over. You never know. I really don't feel up to it, Kate. I know how you feel, Kate, but these guys have come a long way. Teddy, please. Not now. Suit yourself, Kate. But you can't stay like this forever. You haven't touched your paints in ages. I've had other things in my mind. I haven't found a tile. Well, suppose we don't find this guy. Life goes on, you know. It may have to go on without me. Don't talk like that, Kate. We'll find this guy. My name isn't Teddy Tyler. Hey! Supposed to use a different name. That's a name we'll be having tried. You get better, Kate. I'll keep the fires burning. Thanks, Teddy. You're an angel. This piece is right here. Aren't you done with that yet, McLeod? It's taking you forever. I'm almost finished. There's just a few more pieces. Uh, McLeod, is something the matter, sir? Why is this bust grinning? Wasn't it grinning before, sir? No, McLeod. You know who doesn't grin. Well, maybe he's having fun, sir. How many times do I have to tell you, McLeod, that we don't have fun out here? Guardian angel McNimbus on the line, sir. All right, connect us, please, Doris. Angus McHughmel is here. Yeah, she's lost all interest in the stamp collection, has she? And she hasn't touched her watercolors in ages? She certainly seems to be fading. What do you suggest, McNimbus? Uh-huh. Well, well, did you realize what you're saying? It's either that or else. Well, she's certainly too young for that. I'll take your proposal under consideration, McNimbus. Now, you keep an eye on her. Goodbye. I couldn't help overhearing, sir. Is Kate all right? Of course she's not, McLeod. Any time a human exhibits all the symptoms she does, it's only a matter of time before they... Don't say it, sir. You seem quite interested in this girl, McLeod. If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive myself, sir. McLeod, I'm going to tell you something. I don't want you to get upset. Me upset, sir? Well, as you know, your father and I were best friends. We go back a long way, all the way to the beginning. Well, your father fell in with the wrong crowd. Lucifer and his gang. And when we expelled the bad angels from Paradise, your father went along with it. You mean my father was a fallen angel, sir? Exactly, McLeod. Now, I agreed to look after you, but as time goes on, I realize that you aren't cut out for this line of work. You're too much like your father, McLeod. He'd like to have fun, too? Exactly. You're not upset, McLeod. No, sir. No, sir. Just the opposite. I'm uplifted. Now, I can have fun. Oh, I take it you do not wish to remain a guardian angel? Uh, if it's all the same to you, sir, I'd rather be a fun-loving human being. Well, you realize, of course, that you forfeit all benefits and privileges connected with this position. No invisibility. No Christmas party. No pension plan. And no burning bush. I don't care if I ever see another burning bush again as long as I live. Well, that may not be long, McLeod. There's no immortality. Who cares as long as I can die happy? When can you send me down, sir? Immediately, McLeod. It'll give me great pleasure. Of course, you'll have no powers and no memory of your time spent as a guardian angel. But I'll still remember Kate and she'll remember me. Well, that can be arranged. I'm ready when you are, sir. All right. Just, uh, walk through that door. Michael? Well, it's been fun, sir. The fun's just beginning, Michael. Kate, can I come in? Sure, Teddy. Feeling any better, Kate? Much better. Thanks, Teddy. Chicago call. And? I had to cancel. Oh, I'm sorry, Teddy. And so I lose some money. It's not the end of the world. No, it's not. We all lose something. No time. You'll come up with a new angle, Teddy. Hey, I'm supposed to be cheering you up. I think it's working. I feel much better. That's my girl. I'm closing up now. You can stay if you like. I think I will. I may even do some painting. Terrific. I just thought I'd check up on you. Oh, thanks, Teddy. You've been an angel. Not me, Kate. You'll know when it gets here. Night. Good night, Teddy. Maybe I put my brushes. Oh, so here's that dinosaur in policy. Mommy, I'm just looking for them. Isn't that the truth? Who said that? Michael! Where did you come from? I don't really know, Kate, but I'm glad I'm here. Oh, so am I. But what happened to you? All I know is that one minute I'm in Oshkosh, and the next minute I'm here holding you. Oh, don't you remember anything? I think, Kate. Not even teaching me to set myself on fire? Why would I do something like that? I don't really know. But you shouldn't run away from me like that. Ever. I don't even remember running, Kate. You had me worried. I didn't think you were ever coming back. Somehow I made it. And if you still want me to set you on fire, I'll help you any way I can, Kate. Then you can start by warming my heart. You mean like this? Exactly, Michael. That was fun. When I'm with you, Kate, I'm in heaven. Oh, Michael, you're an angel. Isn't that the truth? We cannot ruffle up a window with tradition from Sears' Open Heart Collection.

President Carter is due to arrive in Washington in about 19 minutes, following a Middle Eastern peace mission, which at first was characterized by great hope, then great disappointment, and finally a bit of promise. On the final day of Mr. Carter's trip, Israeli Prime Minister Begin and Egypt's President Sadat finally agreed to U.S. compromise proposals, designed to bridge the final negotiating gap and set the stage for a Middle Eastern peace treaty. The Israeli cabinet will debate the draft treaty, then it will be given to the full Israeli parliament for approval. Begin said he'll resign if the accord is rejected.
