Once a famous Ziegfeld star, Dodo Delwyn is reduced to playing clowns in burlesque and amusement parks as a result of his drinking. His son Little Dink idolizes Dodo and faithfully believes in a comeback. He persuades "Uncle" Goldie, Dodo's agent in the good old days, to find a booking for Dodo. He can't, and Dink is sent to live with his remarried-and-wealthy mother, Paula. The unhappy Dink runs back to his father. His welcome return gives Dodo the courage needed to try a knockabout TV show offered by Goldie

As I am a old man of 73 years. Red Skelton was my favorite comedian growing up. Loved his TV show and the characters he portrayed. Gertrude and Heathcliff, Clem Kadiddlehopper, Freddie the Freeloader and Cauliflower McPugg. I have never seen this and I am so much looking forward to watching this. I appreciate this and a heartfelt thank you for stirring up good memories.
