America's favorite family
comedy, "The Adventures

of Ozzie and Harriet,"
starring the entire Nelson

family, Ozzie, Harriet,
David, and Ricky.

Ozzie Nelson, of
course, plays the part

of the head of the
Nelson household, Ozzie.

And here is his lovely
wife, Harriet Nelson,

who keeps the family
on an even keel.

Hello, Harriet.

The smiling young
teenager we now see

is David Nelson, older
of the two Nelson boys

and played by David Nelson.

And here we have the
youngest of the Nelsons,

the little guy with
the twinkle in his eye,

Ricky Nelson, played
by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next-door
neighbor, Mr. Thornberry,

better known as
Ozzie's pal Thorny,

is played by Don DeFore.

- Come on, David!

That's cheating!

- It is not cheating.

- It is so!

- The trouble with you
is you're a chicken.

- Oh, yeah?
That's what you think, wise guy.

- That's what I know, half-pint.

- You'd better watch out, David.

I may be small,
but I'm awful mean.

- Hey, take it easy, will you?

What's all the noise about?

- Oh, are we talking
too loud, Pop?

- Yeah.

Is this one of your
friendly little discussions?

- Yes, sir.

That's what I can't understand.

How can anybody be as smart
as you and have a son as dumb

as David?
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah!
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah!
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah!

- Look, Ricky.

I'm in high school now, and I'm
getting a little bit too old

to get into these silly
arguments with you.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah!

- Oh, yeah?

- Oh, come on.

Calm down, will you, fellas?

- You'd better tell
him to be careful, Pop.

I'm getting pretty strong, boy.

- That's a laugh.
- Oh, yeah?

Have you seen my muscles lately?

- What's the matter?

Can't you find 'em either?

- Come on, take it
easy, will you, guys?

- OK, Pop.

Ricky has something important
he wants to ask you.

- Who, me?

I thought you were
going to ask him.

- We had the elections,
and you were elected.

- Yeah, I know.

I thought I voted for you.

- You did, and I won,
so you have to ask him.

- Well, somebody better ask
me or I'll never find out.

Come on, David, what is it?

- We'd like to do our
Christmas shopping a little

early this year, Pop.

- Well, it sounds like
a fine idea to me.

You certainly have my
permission for that.

- Oh, boy!
Come on, let's go, David.

- Wait a minute.

You're forgetting the
most important part.

- What's that?

- We need some money to
buy the presents with.

- Atta boy, David.

I knew you could ask him.

- I was framed.

- A pretty neat job,
too, if you ask me.

- Oh, I don't mess around, boy.

- Looks like I'm the
guy who's been framed.

How much is this
going to cost me?

- Oh, don't worry, Pop.

It won't cost you anything.

- Well, there must be a
catch to it somewhere.

- There is.

See, we want to
work for the money.

- Well, that sounds like
a very commendable idea.

- You can blame David.

- I thought if we worked for
it, we'd appreciate it more.

- That's right.

- That's at least
the way I feel.

- I always appreciate it
more when Pop gives it to us.

- Oh, David's right, Ricky.

- Can we do it, Pop?

- Well, I don't see why not.

I think there are
lots of little jobs

you can do around the house
and earn some extra money.

- What's this?

Did I hear you say you were
paying for housework now, dear?

- Oh, well, only for the boys.

You see, they want to
earn a little extra money

for Christmas presents.

- Well, that sounds
like a fine idea.

- Well, that's not exactly
what we meant, Pop.

- Well, I thought
you said you wanted

to work and earn some money.

- We mean a regular
job in a store.

- A regular job?

- Oh, just on weekends
and after school, maybe.

- A lot of kids are doing it.

- Well, I'm sure there
are lots of things

you could do around
the house here.

You could help your
mother with the chores.

- Yeah, but we want
to make some money.

- Well, that's what I mean.

- Yeah, but if Mom doesn't
get paid, then it's not fair.

- Yeah, that's a thought.

- Now, just a second.

Let's tackle one
problem at a time.

Where do you guys think
you could get a job?

- We could work in a store.

- Oh, I think you guys are
a little young for that.

- Well, we talked to Mr.
Miller at the grocery store,

and he said he'd think it over.

- Oh, I don't see how
you'd make much money.

- If it was an ice cream store,
I'd work for nothing, boy.

- Well, you certainly
wouldn't get rich that way.

- I bet I'd get fat
enough to look rich.

- You may have something there.

- How about it, Pop?

What do you say?

- Well, I don't suppose
earning a little Christmas

money will do you any harm.

- Oh, I'm not sure I
like the idea they're

going out and working in
some strange place, though.

- Oh, don't worry, Mom.

We know practically everybody
in town, at least Ricky does.

- Really?
- Sure.

When we go to the
bakery, the lady

always gives him a free cookie.

When we go to the drugstore,
he gets free bubblegum.

He even gets free ice
cream at the soda store.

- So you do all
right, don't you?

- Oh, I don't mess around, boy.

- He knows everybody.

He's a regular politician.

- Can I help it if older
women find me attractive?

- I still think you guys are
pretty young to go out and get

an actual job.

- Pop used to work
when he was a boy.

Didn't you, Pop?

- Well, yes, that's true, David.

I'll never forget
this one winter.

I think it was the coldest
winter we ever had.

I had this job working
Saturdays in a grocery store.

I had to trudge three
miles through the snow

just to get there.

- Did you work afternoons, too?

- Uh, no, it wasn't
a regular job.

But, see, it seemed
in those days

we had more snow in the winters.

And your Uncle Al and I used
to pick up some extra money

shoveling snow off
people's sidewalks.

I'll never forget
this one afternoon,

we took care of 15 customers.

- Holy smokes!

- Well, that sounds like
a lot of hard work, boy.

- Well, if you figure on
earning extra Christmas money,

you've got to count
on a lot of hard work.

- That's OK with me, Pop.

Can we?

- Well, it's up to you guys.

It's all right with me.

- Gee, thanks, Pop.

Well, I want to go on record
in saying this is not my idea.

- Come on, Ricky, let's go.

- I could have been talked
out of this very easily.

- You boys be careful
going downtown.

- OK, Mom.

- Will you do me one favor, Mom?

- What's that, dear?

- Will you tell David he doesn't
have to hold my hand when

we cross the street anymore?

- Come on, who would want
to hold your hand, anyhow?

- Oh, yeah?

Don't forget, I'm also
attractive to younger women.

- Imagine those guys
looking for a job.

- I hope they don't
get into any trouble.

- Oh, they'll be all right.

- Oh, say, before I
forget it, would you

pick up a couple of things
at the grocery store for me?

- Well, I think it
could be arranged.

- Here's the list.

It's just a few blocks.

You know where Miller's
grocery store is, don't you?

- Oh, sure.

Just a complete list?

Just eggs and a pound of butter?

- No, don't worry
about that, dear.

I gave Mr. Miller a great
big list of things yesterday.

They're waiting right there
for you to pick them up.

- Oh, great.

- Oh, it's not that much.

I'd pick them up
myself, but I have

to go over to Schultz's
bakery, and that's

in the opposite direction.

Besides, you can work up
an appetite for lunch.

- Uh, just a second.

You don't care how the groceries
get here as long as they arrive

in time for dinner, right?
- Well, no.

If you don't feel strong enough,
you can take Ricky's bike.

- Well, that's not
a bad idea, but I

think I have a better one.

- OK, suit yourself.

I'll see you later.

- Would you excuse me
for a moment, please?

Miller's Market.

- Hello, Mr. Miller.

This is Mr. Nelson.

- Oh, hello, Mr. Nelson.

- Say, do you make deliveries?

- Oh, sure, especially
to our good customers.

- Well, Mrs. Nelson gave
you an order yesterday,

and she'd like to add a dozen
eggs and a pound of butter.

- OK.

There.

Well, looks like you're
having a party or something.

- No, but we have
two growing boys,

and they sure keep
putting it away.

Yeah, fine
youngsters they are, too.

- Oh, thank you.

- Say, that little fella's
a regular card, isn't he?

My wife says that all the
women are crazy about him.

- Yes, I know.

He told us.

- As a matter of fact,
they were in here

to see me just
yesterday, wanted to know

if I needed any extra
help around the store.

- Oh, yes, they mentioned
they had spoken to you.

I think they're trying to earn
some extra money for Christmas.

- Well, I didn't know
what to say exactly.

To be honest with you, I don't
need any extra help right now.

- Oh, of course.

I understand.

Besides, they're pretty
young, especially Ricky.

- They're awfully
good boys, though.

- Say, wait.

I just got an idea.

Say, I wonder if
you'd do me a favor.

- I can certainly
try, Mr. Nelson.

- Well, I was
wondering whether you

could find a couple of things
for them to do down there

and give them a
couple of dollars,

and then I'd reimburse you?

- Well, I hate to take advantage
of a situation like that.

- No, no, no, it's
nothing like that.

In fact, you'd be
doing me a favor.

You know, you could
just let them help out

with a few things
around the store,

and then just give them
a couple of dollars

and then add it on to our bill.

- Well, if you say
so, Mr. Nelson.

Like I say, they're
awful good boys.

And if they do any real work
for me, I'll pay them myself.

- Oh, don't you
worry about that.

Just make sure they
don't find out about it.

You know, it'd spoil the fun.

- Don't you worry.

I'll just tell them
I changed my mind.

In fact, I guess we could use
a little extra help, at that.

We're expecting some
things in for the holidays,

and the boys could help me
unload and put them on display.

- Oh, that's fine.

- And they could make some
deliveries for me, too.

- Well, gee, that sounds great.

What time do you
want them there?

- Any time after lunch.

Say, about 2 o'clock.

- OK, then I'll tell them.

- Say, why don't I call them
on the phone and make it sort

of business-like?

- Well, It'll be just
as easy if I tell them

I was speaking to
you on the phone,

or anywhere you want to do it.

- OK, Mr. Nelson.

And don't you worry
about a thing.

- OK, goodbye.
And thanks a lot.

- Bye.

- Hello?

Yes, just a moment.

David, it's for you.

- Thanks, Mom.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir!

Gee, thanks a lot, sir!

Yes, sir, I'm sure we will, sir.

Gee, and thanks a lot, sir.

Yes, sir.
Goodbye, sir.

- Who was that?

The truant officer?

- Guess what, Pop?

Who do you think that was?

- Well, I would say offhand
that that was probably

one of our local
merchants who called

to offer the Nelson boys a job.

- That's right, Pop.

How did you guess?

- Oh, call it a wild guess
or a shot in the dark.

- Say, what is all this?

- We got a job, Mom.

Guess where we're working?
- Wait a minute, Dave.

I think it might be
a good idea if you

don't tell your mother and me.

Just keep it a secret.

- What for?

- Well, I mean, I think
it's more fun that way.

After all, the boys don't have
to tell us everything they do,

you know?

- What's all the noise about?

- We got a job.

We start this afternoon.

- Oh, boy!

How much do we make?

- I don't know.

- I'm sure you'll
be well-paid, Ricky.

You just worry about
doing a good job.

- I will, Mom.

What are we supposed
to do, David?

- I don't know.

We'll find out
when we get there.

- What time do you
boys have to be there?

- Uh, 2 o'clock.

- How'd you know, Pop?

- Oh, well, I figured,
uh, it figures.

- Let's get there at 1 o'clock
and pick up some overtime.

- The man said 2 o'clock.

- Well, I'd better
get your lunch ready.

I don't want you to be late.

- I wish I knew how
much the job paid.

- Will you please
stop discussing money?

- OK.

- Sounds so mercenary.

Big man.

Lofty principles.

- Take it easy, will you, guys?

I should think you fellas
should be very happy?

You've got a job.

- Oh, I am, Pop.

- Me, too.

- I was kind of worried that
we weren't going to get one.

- Did you think we were
going to get one, Pop?

- Well, yes, I felt pretty
confident the moment

I heard the phone ring.

- How come?

- Oh, I don't mess around, boy.

- Hi, Oz.

- Oh, hiya, Thorny.

- What's up?

Planning a trip to the moon?

- No, I was just
looking up at the sky.

Gee, the weather seems a little
threatening today, doesn't it?

- Yes, it does.

Say, not to be
changing the subject,

but I just saw your two young
sons heading down the street.

It looked like there were
in an awful big hurry.

- Oh, they're pretty
important guys today, Thorny.

They're going to work.

- Don't tell me they got a job.

- Yeah.

Yeah, they want to earn
a little Christmas money.

You know, it's pretty tough for
kids to find work these days.

- Yes, it is.

My boy Will's been
looking all week,

but nobody seems to need
a 15-year-old boy who's

very good at basketball.

Where did David and Ricky
finally get their job?

- Well, there's a
bit of a catch to it.

See, I phoned Mr. Miller
down at the grocery store

and I made
arrangements with them

to have the kids do a few
jobs around the store.

And he's going to give
them a couple of dollars,

and then I'll reimburse him.

- Hey, that's not bad.

Well, I suppose
it might be called cheating

on the boys a bit, but I think
he'll find something for them

to do.
- Oh, sure.

There's always a
lot of work they

can do around a grocery store.

- Well, I don't want
them to do a lot of work.

I mean, you know, not lifting
big heavy crates or stuff

like that.

- Oh, of course not.

Uh, what'd you have in mind
that they could do, I mean?

- Well, there are a lot of
little things they could do,

you know, maybe sort
the fruit or put prices

on the merchandise.

That kind of thin.

- Uh, you'd better
not let them work

too much around the frozen
foods, Oz, especially

in this cold weather.

- Well, actually, what
Mr. Miller will do

is send them out with
orders for the customers.

You know, it keeps
them outdoors.

It's just like playing, really.

- Oh, yes, they could do that.

- Of course, I don't mean
the big, heavy orders.

They'll lift the
smaller, lighter stuff.

- Well, sure.

Say, for instance,
somebody needs an orange

or wants a loaf of
bread delivered.

- Well, there are lots of
things they can take of.

- Sounds like a
swell idea to me, Oz.

- Oh, gee, thanks, Thorny.

You know, I offered to
give the kids money,

but, by golly, they
turned me down.

- A lot of kids like
to earn their own way.

I bet they get a
big kick out of it.

Yup, I remember my boyhood days.

Every year, I'd go to work
just before Christmas.

- Oh, really?

What kind of a job did you get?

- No job.

I got to work on my father.
- Oh.

- Nope, I wasn't anything
like David or Ricky.

Is something wrong, Oz?

- Just thought I
felt a drop of rain.

I wonder if it's
beginning to sprinkle.

- Well, it's been
threatening all morning.

It's kind of a raw disagreeable
day, anyway, isn't it?

- Come to think of
it, I don't think

the boys brought their
raincoats with them, Thorny.

- Oh, they'll be all right.

- The store's probably
making a lot of deliveries

on a day like this, too.

- Gee, it's going to be
coming down hard in a minute.

- You don't think Mr.
Miller will send them out

if it starts to rain, do you?

- Oh, Oz, don't worry.

Besides, the kids love the rain.

I'm going to get in the house.

- Uh, I mean, if it
becomes really rainy, you

don't think Mr. Miller
would send them out, do you?

- Of course not.

- I mean, you know, kids would
get soaked to the skin on a day

like this.

- Oh, it looks like we're
in for a real storm.

Wow!

Here it comes!

Say, Oz?

- Yeah?

- I still have an umbrella I
borrowed from you last year.

- Oh, yeah, that's right.

- When you find a minute,
come on over and get it.

- OK.

- Oh, there you are.

- Oh, Harriet, do you know--

- Quite a storm, isn't it?

- Yeah.

Do you know where
my car keys are?

- Well, I hope you don't plan
to drive on a day like this.

- Yeah, I think I'll go over
to Miller's grocery store

and pick up the boys.

- Miller's grocery store?

- Yeah, they're working
over there this afternoon.

- Well, how do you know?

- Well, I wasn't going to
tell you this quite so soon,

but I made arrangements
with Mr. Miller

to find a few things for
them to do around the store.

Then, he's going to pay them,
and I'm going to reimburse him.

Of course, they don't
know about this last part.

- Well, for goodness sake,
dear, wasn't that clever of you?

- Well, I thought
it was this morning,

but now I see how rainy it
is and I'm not quite so sure.

I don't know that I like the
idea they're trudging around

in this mud and
rain all afternoon.

- Well, I thought
you said they were

going to work in the store.

- Well, yes, but
he'll probably have

them making some deliveries
and things like that.

- Oh, not on a day like this.

- Well, you know kids.

They're probably trying hard to
make good on their first day.

- Come to think of it, they
didn't take their raincoats,

did they?
- No, nor their galoshes.

I think I'd better drive
over there and pick them up,

Harriet.

- Oh, I don't think
that's necessary.

- Well, I do.

Frankly, I'm a little
worried about them.

- What about those
jobs you used to have?

You were pretty young yourself.

- Yes, that's true.

- You worked in a store.

You walked three miles to work.

- Well, Harriet, I've
been thinking that over,

and the store was actually
only about five blocks

from our house.

Not only that, I didn't walk.

My father used to drive
me there in the car.

In fact, he drove me around
on all the deliveries I made.

You know, the more
I think of it,

I'll bet he worked the same deal
that I worked with Mr. Miller.

I'd better go get
the boys, Harriet.

- Well, relax, dear.

Here comes Mr. Miller
up the walk now.

- Oh, good.

He's probably bringing
the boys home.

Hi, Mr. Miller.

- Howdy, Mr. Nelson.

Hello, Mr. Nelson.
- Hello.

- Sure is coming down, isn't it?
- Yeah, it's an awful day out.

- Oh, I'd better not
come in any further.

My feet are kind of muddy.
- Where are the boys?

Out in the truck?

- Oh, yeah, David and Ricky.
Say, what happened to them?

I waited around the
store this afternoon,

and they never did show up.

- You mean they're not working
down in your grocery store?

- Why, no.

I figured you must
have kept them

in with the way the weather
turned out and everything.

- Well, no.

Somebody phoned at noon and
told to show up for work

I thought it was you.
- No, wasn't me.

I thought you were
going to tell them.

- Well, yes, I was, but this
party phoned about noontime

and told the boys to report
for work at 2 o'clock.

I just figured it was you.

- No, no, it wasn't me.

I had lunch over at my wife's
sister's place this afternoon.

They don't have a phone.

My brother-in-law comes over
to the store and uses mine,

sits there, talking
and eating fruit.

Runs a pretty
good-sized bill, too.

- That's funny.

- You wouldn't think so
if you had to pay it.

- I wonder where the
boys are working.

- Beats me.

Well, bye bye, Mr. Nelson.

Bye, Mrs. Nelson!
- Goodbye, Mr. Miller.

- Goodbye, Mr. Miller.

Here, I'll put those away, dear.

- Harriet, I'm worried
about the boys.

Did you hear that?

They didn't show up
at the grocery store.

- Yes, I know.

Let me check over this list and
make sure everything's here.

- Harriet, did you
hear what I said?

The boys aren't at
Miller's market.

- Yes, dear, I heard you.

Milk, bread, butter.

- Gee, I wonder
where they could be.

- Soup, lettuce, string beans.

- Well, aren't you
worried about them?

- No, not particularly.

- Well, Harriet, it's
pouring down rain outside.

The boys don't have
their raincoats.

They don't have their
galoshes or anything.

They're some place getting
soaked to the skin,

and we don't even
know where they are.

- Well, Mr. Schultz
promised me he

wouldn't let them
leave the store.

- Mr. Schultz?

- Yes, they're working
at Schultz's bakery.

I only hope they don't
eat up more than the $2

I promised to give him.

- You meant to say you pulled
the same stunt with Mr. Schulz

that I did with Mr. Miller?

- Yes, I did.

You know, they say
some people even

get to look alike after they've
been married a long time.

- Here I've been worried
to death about the boys,

and they're sitting in
a nice, cozy bakery.

- I only hope Mr. Schultz
doesn't leave them alone

with the chocolate eclairs.

- He must have been the
one who phoned this noon.

Say, it's getting kind of late.

Say, why don't you
phone Mr. Schultz

and tell him I'll be down to
pick the boys up in the car?

I wouldn't want them to walk
all the way home in this rain.

- Yeah, that's a good idea.

I hope they don't
spoil our dinner.

You know Ricky and
that sweet stuff.

- What are they supposed
to do down there?

- Oh, I don't know.

Mr. Schultz said he'd find
something for them to do.

- Well I hope he does.

Aside from the stomachaches,
we could wind up

owing Schultz about $50 if
he ever sets them loose.

- Hello, Mr. Schultz?

This is Mrs. Nelson.

Oh, fine.

Thank you.

Say, will you tell
David and Ricky

that their father will
come down in the car and--

- I'll be down in about
10 minutes, tell them.

- What was that, Mr. Schultz?

They didn't?

- What's this?

- Are you sure
they aren't there?

- Tell him to look
in the pantry.

- Didn't you call
lunch time and--

Well, yes, I know.

Well, somebody called and
told them to be at work at 2

o'clock this afternoon.

Oh.

Yes.

Well, thank you, Mr. Schultz.

Goodbye.

- They're not there, huh?

- They aren't at the bakery.

- Well, I'll be darned!

Where the heck can they be?

I wonder what kind of place
would hire kids about that age.

Maybe drugstores, or
grocery stores, or bakeries.

Here.

We can call up every
drugstore, bakery and grocery

store in town.

- All right, you look in the
book, and I'll do the phoning.

- Drug stores.

Adam's Drugstore.

Crestview, 62001.

- Well, thank you, Mr. Zoller.

- Gee whiz, what do we do now?

We've called every grocery--
- Hi, Mom, Pop.

- Boys!
- Oh, boys!

Where the heck have you been?
- We've been working.

Don't you remember?
- Sure, we told you.

- Yes, but where?
- The emporium.

- The emporium?

- The department store?
What were you doing down there?

- We were actors.
- Actors?

- Yeah, Ricky and I
and three other guys.

We sat in a big window
and watched television.

- We were better actors than
some of the actors we saw.

- Did you sit in the window
and watch television?

- Yeah, he gave us each $1.

- Just think of all the times
we watched the Thornberry's

television for nothing.

- You know, come to think of it,
it's a pretty good advertising

stunt.
- Oh, you boys are soaking wet.

Did you walk home?
- No, I took a taxi.

- A taxi?
Why didn't you phone?

I would have gone down and
picked you up in the car.

- Well, we tried
about six times,

but the line was always busy.

- Oh.

Well, your mother
got kind of worried

and she called around
town a little bit

to see where you guys were.

Gee, it's a shame you had to
use up your money on a taxicab.

- I still have $0.50 left.

- And I got a quarter.

- Oh, well, that
doesn't even up.

How come you have $0.50 and
you only have a quarter?

- I'm a big tipper.

- Come on, you guys.

Get out of those wet clothes.

- The man wants us back every
Saturday for the next month.

- You should have seen
the audience we had,

even in the rain.

- Ricky started showing off.

- I did not.

I always watch television
standing on my head.

- Uh, wait, fellas.

You say this man wants you back
every Saturday for a month?

- Yes, sir, that's what he said.

- And all you do is
watch television?

- Yes, sir.

- And he pays you $1 a piece?

- Mhm.

- Gee.

I wonder if he could use
a slightly older boy.

I have a propeller
beanie and will travel.

- Hey, Pop?

- Yes, Dave?

- Didn't you say you and
Uncle Al shoveled snow

off the sidewalk from 15
people in one afternoon?

- Yeah, that's right.

- Yeah, that's what I
told Will Thornberry,

but he said it's impossible.

- It does seem like an
awful lot of snow, dear.

Are you sure it was 15?

- Well, uh, perhaps I should
explain it a little further.

You see, there was
this apartment house,

and 15 people were living in it.

So we shoveled all the snow
off the front sidewalk right

in front of the place.

Each one of the people
gave us a nickel.

- Be sure to tune
in again next week,

when Hotpoint Quality
Appliances presents

America's favorite family
comedy, "The Adventures

of Ozzie and Harriet," starring
the entire Nelson family--

Ozzie, Harriet,
David, and Ricky.

The part of the grocer
was played by Bob Sweeney.
