Plot

Jane Russell, Beryl Davis and [$Connie Haines}, who when this episode originally aired on December 31, 1963 were successfully touring as a singing trio, appear in the comedy sketch "To Tell a Fib." Which of three courtroom litigants (Jane, Beryl, Connie) is the real Clara Appleby? All three ladies lay claim to this dubious honor, recalling their individual experiences as the wife of eternal bumbler George Appleby (Red Skelton). The mystery is never really solved, though George does get to sing a quickie spoof of the Doublemint Chewing Gum jingle ("Triple your pleasure, triple your fun..." etc.) The three guest stars perform "Jericho," "I Believe," "Smile" and "Elijah Rock." In the Silent Spot, an impatient husband (Red) waits for his wife to get ready for a night out. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
