The Phil Silvers Show 3.34

Bilko's Insurance Company

Bilko decides to start an insurance company, Bilko of Baxter. He insures every soldier he can find. He is forced to scramble when he discovers that Wally Gunther and Sally Fisher, both of whom bought policies, have fallen in love. She is one of three triplets and he has a twin brother. The insurance policy pays out large amounts to insured families that have twins, triplets, or more.

Thoughts

Orson Bean played the part of Wally Gunther. Rain Winslow played the part of Sally Fisher. Bean and Winslow were married from 1956 to 1962. This episode first aired in 1958.

This was pretty good even though it is a little short on details about how the insurance policies work or how Bilko got the company set up as quickly as he did.
