The Phil Silvers Show 3.06

Bilko's Double Life

Bilko unknowingly changes places with multimillionaire Herbert Penfield III, who looks just like him. Bilko leaves Roseville with Barbella and Henshaw and heads to New York City. He owes a number of people money. Penfield leaves New York City and goes to Rosevile to get away from it all. Both men get treated like one another. 

Penfield gets the rough treatment that Bilko has earned. Bilko lives it up as Penfield once he realizes the mistake that is being made. 

Thoughts

Penfield is played by Phil Silvers. There is one scene at the very end of the episode where the two men cross paths.

There was potential here. There were some good moments but the episode ended before they could wrap things up in a satisfying way. This is yet another episode with some good laughs but lacking in the way they concluded it.
