Bilko's Allergy
Bilko gets excited when he finds out about a high stakes poker game. His hopes for winning big at the poker game are dashed when he learns that he is allergic to playing cards. Bilko tries finding a work around but soon discovers that it isn't the playing cards that are making him sneeze.
Thoughts
I love the moment when Bilko learns that he is allergic to playing cards. Captain Masters' diagnosis of Bilko's allergy turns out to be incorrect. The allergy is part of the episode but it isn't the focus of the episode.
There are two recurring characters that show up in this episode.
Captain Masters was played by Nelson Olmstead. This is the 10th of 11 episodes in which Olmstead appeared. He didn't always play Captain Masters but he did in the last six episodes in which he appeared.
Captain Barker was played by Nicholas Saunders. This is the 27th of 30 episodes in which Saunders appeared. He played Captain Barker in every episode in which he appeared.
George Kennedy appears briefly in this episode although he isn't listed in the credits or even among the uncredited actors on IMDb.
This was a fun episode even though it did kind of meander a bit.
