The Phil Silvers Show 3.27

The Colonel's Inheritance

Colonel Hall inherits $5000 from a distant relative. Bilko gets wind of the windfall inheritance and then, with some help from Barbella and Henshaw, gets his hands on the Colonel's money. He tries to use the money to make a quick buck and almost loses it all.

Thoughts

Henry Lascoe makes his seventh and final appearance on the show in this episode. He played the part of Adamopolis, the restaurant owner for the fourth time in this episode. He played different characters in his other three appearances.

Most of Bilko's platoon does not appear in this episode.

This was fun but far from great. How did Bilko win the money back after losing almost all of it? There's a hint given but it feels cheap that they only gave the slightest hint.
