The Phil Silvers Show 4.06

Bilko Joins the Navy

Bilko, Zimmerman, and Paparelli are in San Diego looking for dates when Bilko hears about a craps game. Only sailors can get in on the game so they exchange their Army uniforms in for Navy uniforms.

Bilko wins big but then the game gets broken up by the shore patrol. Bilko, Zimmerman and Paparelli wind up on the USS Saratoga which takes off on a six month cruise before they can get ashore. Bilko is forced to scramble in order to get them back to the United States before they are found out.

Thoughts

Most of the regulars were not in this episode with the exception of the three characters named above.

This was pretty good. It was a nice change of pace that Bilko's scheming was about something other than making money. It has happened before but it seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
