The Phil Silvers Show 3.19

Bilko's Cousin

Bilko gets very excited when he learns that his cousin Swifty has joined the Army and will soon be stationed at Fort Baxter. Bilko assumes that Swifty will be just as slick as he. It turns out that Swifty is not very much like Bilko.

Bilko tries to get Swifty into Officer Candidate School (OCS). Bilko pulls a few strings and tricks Col Hall into thinking that Swifty is much much more impressive than he actually is. Bilko's plan goes up in flames once Col. Hall meets Swifty and asks him a few questions.

Thoughts

Dick Van Dyke played the part of Swifty Bilko. This is his second and final appearance on the show. He was previously seen in 3.03 (Hillbilly Whiz).

This was a fun episode, better than most episodes from this season.
