Plot

Chester Morris, Robert Armstrong and Veda Ann Borg appear with Red Skelton in the comedy sketch "Clem's Fish Market." Working along the San Francisco waterfront, fish peddler Clem Kadiddlehopper (Red) is dragooned into helping the police break up a vicious protection racket. The funniest moment in this still-extant episode occurs when Skelton turns to former King Kong costar Robert Armstrong and asks, "Say, did you ever get that big monkey off the building?" Currently available in black-and-white kinescope form, "Clem's Fish Market" originally aired in color on March 26, 1957. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
