Plot

In this full-color Red Skelton Show episode from January 15, 1957, Mickey Rooney joins Red in the two-act comedy playlet "The Sailor Takes a Wife." Losing all their money in a crap game, sailors Cookie (Red) and Snorkel (Mickey) try to win the grand prize on the TV quiz show "Do You Beat Your Wife?" Since the program only accepts married couples as contestants, just guess what happens next? (And by the way, Cookie is absolutely stunning in his ersatz evening gown!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
