 The Craft Foods Company, makers of craft quality food, presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeve! Tonight is our last chance to tell you about Gildy's Blade, the amazing knife spatula that you can get through Parquet Margarine at a sensational saving. Full details in our next announcement, so have paper and pencil ready. It's a tremendous bargain brought to you by the margarine that always tastes so good, because it's always fresh. That's P-A-R-K-A-Y, Parquet Margarine, made by Craft. Well, the Great Gilder Sleeve is a busy man, but he's never too busy to give advice to little Leroy, whether he asks for it or not. Today, Leroy's asking for it. Well, I have to get to the office, Leroy. But I want to ask you about a business deal. Business deal? And you're a sharp businessman. Well, yes, but an intelligent little fellow. What's on your mind, Leroy? Buzz Callahan down the street wants me to take over his paper route. He'll give me half the profits. Half the profits? Sure. All I have to do is fold the papers and do it home to the people. And what does Buzz Callahan do? He handles the details. Details on a paper route? Oh, my goodness. You do need advice. Leroy, you don't want that job? I don't. Of course not. Buzz Callahan sits back and collects the money while you run your legs off. Use your head, Leroy, not your feet. Oh, gosh, I'm just a little kid. My head isn't grown up yet. Your head is just as good as anybody's. Don't forget, Leroy, you're my nephew. Yeah. The men of our family have always done well. We've been leaders, captains of industry. I use my head every day. I suppose I got to be water commissioner. Political pull? No, Leroy, it's because I did an efficient job. I proved I was capable of running the department. I knew how to get somebody else to do the work. I mean, I've got Bessie at the office, Charlie Anderson at the reservoir, and a meter reader. They all work for the water commissioner. Yeah, but that's not helping me. I need some dough. Well, you have your allowance, my boy. Yeah, but don't stretch far enough anymore. One movie and a couple of bubblegums and I'm busted. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do then. Rather than see you working for Buzz Callahan, I'll give you 50 cents a week to mow the lawn. 50 cents a week? You bet. And here it is, in advance. Oh, boy, thanks, Doug. I'm going right out and start mowing. No, wait a minute, Leroy. Huh? There you go using your feet again. Haven't you gotten anything out of our little talk? Sure. 50 cents. Naturally, Leroy, but if you're going to use your head and be a businessman, you'd offer Buzz Callahan a quarter to mow the lawn and keep a quarter for yourself. Hey, that's a keen idea. Yeah. Gee, you're smart, Uncle. Well... I bet there's nothing that you don't know. No, Leroy, there's probably a lot of things I don't know. Of course I can't think of them right at the moment. How's the water department? Oh, it's running. That's a tribute to good management, Bessie. It is? You bet. I can stop, but the water keeps running. And I think I'll stop for a while. Now, let's see what we have to do. Bessie, what's on the calendar for today? April 12th. What? And a quarter moon. A quarter, oh my goodness. Bessie, I mean, do I have any appointments? Has anybody called? Well, the phone was ringing when I came from the mall shop this morning. Mall shop? Who wasn't, Bessie? So I ran down the hall, and when I got to the door, it was locked, and the phone kept ringing, and I couldn't find my keys and my purse, and the phone rang and rang. Hurry, Bessie, hurry. Yes, sir. Well, I finally found my keys, and I got the door open, and I rushed inside while the phone kept ringing and ringing. Bessie, who was it? I don't know. They hung up. Oh, right. And then the phone rang again. Bessie, I can't go through another phone call. But this was Judge Hooker. Oh, the judge? Yes, he said to tell you he'd be by your house this evening. He said he bought him seven bikes. Well, that's the second time this morning I've been asked for advice. It isn't even 10 o'clock yet. Mr. Gilda Sleeve, will you give me some advice? Of course, Bessie. What do you want to know? Mr. Gilda Sleeve, every time I go to the mall shop, a tall handsome man winks at me. Oh? Well, what's your problem? Should I wink back? My advice, Bessie, is strictly about business. Well, he winks at me during business hours. What a secretary. Between sunset and dusk, so quiet, not a human sound to break the silence. Still not a human sound. You know what the old goat wants. Hello, Judge. Good evening, Gilda. And I have a little talk with you before dinner. Of course, Horace. Come on in the house. Thank you. He's here. Well, Lee Roy brought home. Oh, Lee Roy's old goat. What's this? Evening, Judge. Evening, Bertie. What about Lee Roy, the goat? That's what he's got a goat. That's just what he's got. Oh, where did Lee Roy get a goat? I don't know where he got it, but I know where he got the goat. No, Bertie, don't get excited. Mr. Gilda Sleeve, he ate every flower in the pansy bed. What, Bertie? And you ought to see my clothesline. That goat's got a goat. Did he eat the clothesline, too, Bertie? No, sir, he didn't eat the clothesline. Well, good. He ate your socks off the clothesline. What a judge. That goat's into everything. That's the naughtiest old goat I ever saw. That goat's got the goat. All right, Bertie. Mr. Gilda Sleeve, you know what that goat's got to do? Yes, Bertie. That's right. Got a goat, too. I'll be back in a minute, Judge. All right. Lee Roy. Are you in there, Lee Roy? Lee Roy, Bertie tells me you brought home a goat. Yeah, King, huh? Young man, that goat's got a goat. What on? I know how you like animals, my boy, but this is going too far. He's already trampled our pansy bed and eaten my socks off the clothesline. Just your old green one, Zunk. Maybe he thought they were big leaves. Who ever heard of our guy leaves, Lee Roy? You'll have to take that goat back where you got him. You understand? Okay. Gosh, it is my first big business deal. Uh, business deal? Sure, Runk. Remember you told me to use my head and hire Buzz Callaghan to mow the lawn for half of what you pay me? Well, yes. Buzz wouldn't do it, so I bought a goat to eat the grass. Eat the grass? Sure. We're both businessmen, aren't we? You've got Bessie and Uncle Charlie and the meter reader working for you, and I've got the goat working for me. But Lee Roy, a goat won't eat all that grass. She will when he finishes the pansies. Yep. Lee Roy, how much did you pay for that goat? Three bucks on the installment plan. Only three bucks for a whole goat? Yeah. For some reason anymore. Yeah. I can understand that. Yeah. You're paying me 50 cents a week to cut the grass, and I pay the man a quarter a week for the goat. I clear a quarter, and the goat does all the work. Say, that's pretty shrewd thinking of that. But you deserve the credit, huh? I do. You told me how to be a businessman. Yeah, I guess I did. So I can keep the goat, huh? I'm just a little kid. What's wrong with a little kid having a goat? Don't worry, I'll take care of it, my boy. Yes, sir. All right, George, that boy has a head on his shoulders. Imagine buying a goat for only $3 on the installment plan, and no carrying charges. He's going to grow up to be just as smart as his old uncle. Well, what's the verdict, Gillette? Huh? Well, Bertie got all upset about nothing, Horace. Lee Roy explained the whole thing to me. It's entirely possible that that goat was a very shrewd investment. You mean you're going to keep the animal? Yes, indeed. Come on out in the backyard, Judge. Let's have a look at him. But, Gildy, why do you want a goat around the house? He's going to mow the lawn, Judge. Mow the lawn? A goat? Certainly. He'll eat the grass. Little Lee Roy's idea. I see. Yeah, quite a boy. He's developing a great head for business. I'm helping him, of course. After you, Judge. Thank you. I thought Bertie said the goat had to go. Ah, Bertie'll get used to him. After he eats the grass, maybe he'll eat the tin cans. Then Bertie won't have to carry them out on Tuesdays. Goats do not eat tin cans, Gildy. That's a fallacy. They just like the paper label for the music. Well, you ought to know. Just kidding. Wonder where he is. Oh, there he is. Looking at us behind the apple tree. Yeah. Gildy, if you don't mind, I think I'll wait on the porch. Oh, Bertie. All right, Judge. I'm going to get acquainted with him. Hello, goat. Wonder what his name is. Probably Billy. Hello, Billy. Yeah, it is Billy, all right. Pretty sociable, little goat. Coming out from behind the tree. He has nice horns, Gildy. Yeah. Now, let's not get too friendly, Billy. I wonder why he's twitching his tail. Don't look at me like that. Don't lower your head now. Now, goat, Billy, you wouldn't want to butt me. I live here. I'm Lee Roy's uncle. All right. Well, maybe if I just back up slowly. Oh, brother, he's coming. I better run for it. Flip the door right down the middle. That goat's got to go. And you, too. The great Gildy Sleeve will be with us again in just a minute.

Yesterday, he was very proud when Leroy made his first business deal, the shrewd purchase of a $3 goat. Today, as our water commissioner wins his way homeward, he doesn't think so much of the deal. Hard for me to tell little Leroy to get rid of the animal. After all, I told him not to take the paper out. Still, I can't hand that goat chasing me every time I leave the house. Someday, my luck's gonna run out. Well, look at that. PV has a new window display. Hot water bottles. Nice. Hello, PV. Hello, Mr. Gildy's Blade. Nice window display you have, PV. Well, I didn't know hot water bottles were that interesting. Well, they are, to me, anything that plugs water I'm for. I wouldn't sell a hot water bottle without a plug. Oh, my goodness. That was a little witnesses, Mr. Gildy's Blade. Plug in a hot water bottle? I get it, PV. What can I do for you this afternoon, Mr. Gildy's Blade? Sell you a hot water bottle? No, PV. You stopped in on my way home. I'm gonna get my car and take Catherine out to dinner. Oh. I thought perhaps you were spending the evening at home with your goat. What? The judge was in. Oh, yes, the judge. Well, it's not my goat, PV. It's Leroy's. That's becoming a real problem. You don't change. Every time I set foot out of the house, he chases me. My, my. Has he caught you yet? He's not going to either. He doesn't bother Leroy, nor Marjorie, nor Bertie. I can't understand why he goes after me. Well, perhaps he considers you a better target. Yeah. PV. Just an observation, Mr. Gildy's Blade. Well, something has got to be done about the creature. When I was a boy, I had a goat, and I don't mind saying he had a lot of good qualities. Really? Say, PV, I'll bet you'd like to buy this goat. Well, now I wouldn't say that. Cheap, free, PV. If I were to give him to you free, what would you say? Nah. Ooh. You leaving, Mr. Gildsleeve? Yes, Bertie. I'm taking Miss Milford to dinner this evening. There'll be just you and Marjorie and Leroy. Yeah. Me and Marjorie and Leroy had no good goat. Well, don't you worry about him, Bertie. You know why I found him sleeping this morning, Mr. Gildsleeve? I'm afraid to ask. Up in Leroy's old pigeon roost. What? He climbs like a cat and he'll sleep any place. He's a no-good goat. Well, he's no friend of mine, Bertie. No, sir. There's good goats and there's bad goats. He's a bad goat. That's right, Bertie, but I've got the goat now. You going out through the backyard? Yeah. You want me to go with you? Oh, I guess I'll make it all right. Thank you, Bertie. Thank you very much. See you later. I'm attracting that goat's attention. He doesn't seem to be around any place. So far, so good. Hey, Aunt Leroy! Have you seen Billy? No, and he hasn't seen me. God, I can't find him. Well, good. I wonder if he jumped the fence and ran away. He might have. You know how goats are, Leroy. You're here today and gone tomorrow. Thank goodness. Well, he's my business investment. I've still got to pay for him. Well, my boy, if he's disappeared, I'll pay for him. Gladly. No kidding? Absolutely, my boy. Okay, he's disappeared. All right, here's your $3. Is that right? Well, check on the prices on goats, sonk, and they just went up. Oh, they did. This one just went up 50 cents. I guess I'm buying a goat on the bull market. Yeah, but it's worth it, my boy. Here's your extra 50 cents. Thanks, sonk. How am I doing in business? Yeah, better than I am. All right, to get out of here. Well, I've got enough money left to take Catherine to dinner. Leroy, who left his car door open? I guess I did. Remember last night when you made a run for the back porch? I had to go out and turn off the ignition. Oh, yes. Well, goodbye, my boy. Bye. Wonder where that darn goat went to. Where would I go if I were a goat? Nah, he wouldn't go there. Well, he's gone. There's Catherine, her mother, out here. Kitty, beautiful, kitty. Here she comes. You're the only girl that I adore. Oh, Mr. Gildersleeve. Oops, her mother. Well, good evening, Mrs. Milford. My, you have such a rich voice. Oh, well, thank you. You're all men, Mr. Gildersleeve. Is Catherine ready? Hello, it's Ralph Morton. She's been primping for you. Oh, mother. Well, nice primping, too. You look stunning, Catherine. Don't, Mr. Gildersleeve, say the nicest things. He sang to me. Oh. We better be going, huh? Ta ta, Mrs. Milford. Ta ta. Bye, mother. Nice old soul, your mother. She's one of your staunchest admirers. Nice of you to take me out to dinner with Ralph Morton. Well, I'm ready for it. Climb in, Katie. Huh? Yeah, I've had a hectic day. You have? Yeah, we've had a goat on our hands. A goat? Mm-hmm. Did somebody turn it in on a water bill? No, no, no. Leroy brought him home, but at last we're rid of him. Oh. What did you do with him? I didn't have to do anything. He just disappeared. I suppose little Leroy's brokenhearted. He made money off the creature hand-over-fist. Well, he'll probably come back. Nah. That goat's miles away by this time. You know, a goat's supposed to be so smart. Well, this one didn't fool me. I had his number right in the very beginning. Oh. What happens? What's that? Billy. He was sleeping in the backseat. Oh, for goodness sake, a stowaway goat. I'm sorry, Gafflin. I'll have to take him back home and pick you up later. Yes. I guess you'd better. Confounded animal. This time Leroy has got to get rid of him. Stop breathing down the back of my neck. It's getting awfully late, Leroy. Don't you think you should go home? I don't dare go home till I find somebody to take Billy. Oh, you poor boy. How much do you want for him? Oh, you wouldn't want him, Mrs. Milford? Well, I was just thinking I could send him out to my brother's farm. Hey, that'd be keen. He'd like a farm. How much did you pay for the goat? $3. Will you take $3 for him? Again? Yard and I'll get my purse. Oh, boy, another three bucks. I should have been in business long ago. We've closed the gate so we can't get out. Ah, this is awfully nice of you, Mrs. Milford. Uncle appreciated it. Well, I'm glad to do it. I'd like to do nice things for Mr. Gildersley. Yeah. Too lovely to break up this early, Catherine. Oh, I have to be at the hospital in the morning. Ah, darn hospital. Care to swing on the porch a while? Oh, it's so dark out here. Well, there's only a quarter moon, and that's behind the house. Great night for swinging. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we might sit in the swing a minute. Good. What are you laughing at? I was just thinking about you and that goat. Yeah, him. I think he'd just like to tease you. Well, he wasn't a bad goat. It was a good business experience, really, Roy. Yes, I suppose. Sure. Bringing up a boy these days, a person has to make a few little sacrifices. But I feel that I came out ahead all the way around. Certainly is dark out here. I can hardly see you. Well, I'll move a little closer. So you won't lose me. That's close enough. I can see you now. Oh, nice. Is your mother at the piano? Oh, nice left hand. Drink to me only with thine eyes. One of my favorites. Yeah, mine too. Drink to me. Did I hear a goat? Of course. How did he get over here? Oh, my. Good night, Catherine. She says see you later.
