Highlights:
Host Milton Berle demonstrates the trials and tribulations of hosting a variety
television show episode,
complete with unoriginal staff, dim-witted crew, squabbling guest-stars - as
well as the star who's
convinced that his writers aren't giving him enough jokes. The story is told
Dragnet-style, complete with
Dragnet musical themes and stingers.
