America's favorite
family comedy,

"The Adventures of
Ozzie and Harriet"

starring the entire
Nelson family.

Here is Ozzie, who plays
the part of Ozzie Nelson.

And of course, his lovely wife
Harriet as Harriet Nelson.

The older of the Nelson boys,
David, appears as David Nelson.

And his younger brother,
the irrepressible Ricky,

played by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next-door neighbor
Thorny is played by Don DeFore.

- Man is a confused animal.

- What did you say?

- Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

I didn't notice you walk in.

- The book salesman finally go?

- Yes, he did.

A very nice young
fella, too, Harriet.

Very alert, very aware.

- Alert to what?

- To the dangers of
our modern living.

Man is a confused
animal, just doesn't

know how to live anymore.

- How about women?

- Oh, the same thing.

We rush through life helter
skelter, missing half

of the important things.

You take me, for instance.

We have hundreds of fine
books around the house here,

I don't even know the
titles of half of them.

Just picked up this
little booklet here

looks mighty interesting.

"The Romance of Dirt."

Where did we get this?

Came with the vacuum cleaner.

- You see, it's different now
than it was in the old days.

In the old days, people
used to take time out to,

to reflect a little bit.

They'd get out under a big
tree and browse and commune

with nature and
think things over.

Nowadays, Man has lost his
intellectual curiosity.

It's just as I said, before,
man is a confused animal.

- I thought the book
salesman said that.

- Well, yes, but I'm afraid
it's very true, Harriet.

You take even in, in
reading, for instance.

The, the kids
nowadays, what chance

do they get to become acquainted
with really good literature?

I mean, they spend their
time reading comic books.

They look at television.

They watch moving pictures.

They listen to, to, to radio.

It's no wonder they're confused.

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Mom.

- Oh, well, hello, boys.

- How was the picture?

- Oh, swell.

- Yeah, especially, when
the old man gets stabbed.

- How about when the
mother drinks the poison?

- There's this pretty girl
in it, but she goes crazy.

- Oh, that's great.

- It was because her
father got murdered.

- But can't you pick out
something not quite so--

I mean, a picture like that.

I mean, it's such
bloodthirsty junk.

Golly, the trash
they write nowadays.

- What was the name
of the picture?

- "Hamlet."

Well, as I said, I
have no objection

to you're going to
the movies but I,

I just don't want you to
lose sight of the fact

that we have some wonderful
stories right here at home

that you guys can read.

A lot of fine books.

Harriet, just pick out
any book at random.

I want to read a
passage to Ricky

and show them what I mean.

Just any book at all, the--

Thank you.

"Always empty dust
bag after using."

- Hi, Thorny.

- Oh, hi, Oz.

- Where you been keeping
yourself all day?

- Oh, just browsing
through a few books.

You know what, Oz, we should
do more of this these days.

- Oh, you're so right, Thorny.

It's a dangerous age
we're living in, not

like the old days.

- You know, man had more
intellectual curiosity

in those days.

He, he learned
things for himself.

But gee, nowadays, why
he's a, a confused animal.

- Evidently he stopped
by your house, too, huh?

- Yeah.

- You know, there's an awful lot
of truth in what this guy says,

Thorny.

I mean, after all, it is a
dangerous age we're living in,

especially for the kids.

I mean, they don't
have the advantage

of the good, solid,
old-fashioned literature

that we used to have.

- Boy, Oz, you're right as rain.

- "Moby Dick."

"Ivanhoe."

"Lady of the Lake."

The poems of Keats,
Shelley, Byron.

- Delightful.

- And nowadays, the
kids have comic books.

They have television.

They have radio,
all those things

to keep their minds off the
good, solid, old-fashioned

stuff.

I remember when I
was a kid, I used

to lie in bed with that
flashlight under the blanket.

Oh, the hours I spent
reading "Treasure Island."

- Oh, really, Oz?

Gee, that was my favorite book.

- No kidding.

- Yeah, "The Rover Boys
of Treasure Island"

- I'm talking about the
old classic, Robert Louis

Stevenson's "Treasure Island."

- Oh.

- Besides, the Rover Boys
never went to Treasure Island.

- Well now, wait a minute, Oz.

You're wrong there.

The father got lost
there, remember?

He was looking for
the treasure and a--

- No, no, no, no, Thorny, I've
read every Rover Boy book.

You've got it
confused with Africa.

Don't you remember?

And besides, it
wasn't the father.

It was Uncle Randolph.

And don't you remember?

The old sea captain had
this mysterious map--

- Oh, wait a minute, Oz.

You're getting all mixed up.

Uncle Randolph was
back in New York state

putting the squeeze
on Josiah Crabtree

after the squabble
about Sam Baxter.

- Sam Baxter?

It was Dan Baxter, the
son of Arnold Baxter

the town scoundrel.

- OK, same thing.

What's the difference?

Anyway, it was Arnold who
gummed up the Treasure Island

expedition.

- Thorny, it wasn't Treasure
Island, it was Africa.

And besides, Arnold happened
to be in jail at the time.

- Jail?!

- Now, listen to me, will you.

He was doing a six-month stretch
because he tried to boil Dick

the fun loving Rover in hot tar.

It's one of my
favorite chapters.

- Fun Loving Dick?

Oh, Oz, now that goes to show
you how much you know about it.

Sam was a fun loving Rover.

Dick was the other Rover,
engaged to the widow Stanhope's

beautiful daughter Dora.

- Well, you may be right there.

But the Rover boys never
went to Treasure Island.

You've got it confused with
their expedition to Africa.

- Treasure Island.

- Africa.

- Treasure Island.

- Africa

Treasure Island

- Rather cramped quarters here.

Pardon me.

Sorry, once again.

I beg your pardon, sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's the last time I'll
be coming through here.

Harriet, here's the juvenile
section, right here.

- I wonder if they've
got the Rover Boys books?

- Yes, I know they have.

I phoned the librarian, under
an assumed name, of course.

"Rover Boys on Land
and Sea," "Rover

Boys in Mexico," "The Rover
Boys at Treasure Island."

- Where?!

If you see "The Rover Boys
in Africa," let me know.

Gee, should have something
to stand on around here.

This ought to do it.

Now, here it is.

- Give it to me.

I'll have the
librarian check it out.

- OK.

Meanwhile, I'll take back
this 250-pound encyclopedia

whatever it is.

- Oh, Hello there, Mr Nelson.

- Oh, that-- you're, uh, David's
English teacher aren't you?

Mrs uh--

- Yes, Mrs. Fraser.

- Mrs. Fraser, how are you?

- Very well, thank you.

Well, this is a
pleasant surprise.

It's not often that we meet one
of the fathers in the library.

- Oh, oh, well, I,
I had sort of a,

a literary discussion with
my neighbor Mr. Thornberry.

- Oh, about Sir Henry Parkinson?

- I beg your pardon?

- His "History of the
Peloponnesian Wars."

The book you have there.

- Oh, Oh, no, no, no, no, not uh

- Oh, you're just
like all the others.

- Am I?

- You're a little bit ashamed
of yourself, aren't you?

- Well.

- Well, now why should you be?

- Well, no, no, I don't
think you understand.

- I think if you have an
honest intellectual curiosity,

you should be proud
of it, not ashamed.

Now, you're obviously
interested in Greek history.

Why not admit it?

- Oh, well, yes,
naturally, everybody's

interested in Greek history.

But, but actually,
you see, I just

came down to do a
little research.

Mr Thornberry--

- Of course, you wanted
to brush up a little.

- Yes.

- Well, I, I must
admit I'm a little

rusty on the Peloponnesian
Wars, myself.

- Oh yeah, that's
understandable.

- How long since you've read it?

- It's been quite a while.

- I bet you haven't
opened it since college.

- Oh, well, maybe
even longer than that.

- What's amazing is you
still have the interest.

You know that's what true
intellectual curiosity gives

us, Mr Nelson, the hungry mind.

- Oh, oh, sure.

- I made arrangements.

- Hello, Mrs.
Nelson, how are you?

I was just complimenting
your husband

on his intellectual curiosity.

- Oh, yes, thanks, uh, Harriet--
Pardon me, Miss Fraser,

if we hurry along.

We have a few errands to do.

- Do you want take your book?

- Oh, well, I, yes,
but this is the book,

mainly, I'd like to have.

This is the, uh, you know,
the, the Peloponnesian Wars

is by Sir Henry Parkerhouse.

- Uh, Parkinson.

- Well, I'm uh--

I'll go along first, Harriet.

I want to get the car
out of the Parker House.

Goodbye, Mr. Nelson.

Goodbye, Mrs. Nelson.

- Goodbye, Miss Fraser.

There's no doubt about it,
man is a confused animal.

- Listen to this, Harriet.

"The causes of the
Peloponnesian Wars

are understandably
complex in that Potidaea,

a Dorian town on the western
promontory of Thrace,

was induced to revolt with the
support of the Macedonian King

Perdiccas, formerly
an Athenian ally."

- Imagine that.

- Yeah.

- What does it mean?

- I haven't the faintest idea.

Whoa!

- Where did you get
that big book, Pop?

- Oh, I got at the
public library.

It's a book on Greek history.

- That's the biggest
book I've ever seen.

- Well, it takes in
a lot of territory.

You see, it tells all about
the Peloponnesian Wars.

- Must've been some fight, boy.

- Well, it also covers a lot
of the history of the times.

- When are you going to
start reading it, Dad?

- Well, there's no
particular hurry.

It's a 120-day book.

Hello?

- Mr. Nelson?

- Yes.

- This is Miss Fraser.

- Oh, hello, Miss Fraser.

What's on your mind?

- Well, we've scheduled a
PTA discussion tomorrow night

at the school on proper
books for schoolchildren.

We thought you might like to
appear on the panel with us.

- Oh, well, I'd, I'd be
delighted to, Miss Fraser.

- Oh, good.

I, uh, I was a little
afraid, of course,

that you might find the
subject sort of elementary.

- Well, of course, it's
not my specialty, exactly,

like Sir Henry.

- Oh, yes, I know.

- That's why we had
the subject changed.

- What's that?

- We're going to discuss
the Peloponnesian Wars.

- I don't think I got
that quite clearly.

- I said, we're going to
discuss the Peloponnesian Wars.

When I told the committee that
you were especially interested

in Greek history, they simply
wouldn't hear of anything else.

- Well, Miss Fraser,
this might be a good time

to let you in on a
little sort of a joke.

Oh,
now, Mr. Nelson,

you can't get out of it.

We're depending on you.

With your vast knowledge
of the subject,

it's going to be an
exciting evening.

- Oh, especially when you
throw me out of the auditorium.

- We won't feel too
bad if you outshine us.

- No, no, no, you
don't understand.

- I understand that modesty
must be overcome by firmness.

We'll expect you at the
school tomorrow night at 8:30.

Goodbye, Mr. Nelson.

- Did it but--

- What's the matter, dear?

You look like you've
been hit by a rock.

- Pardon me.

- Where are you going?

- I think I'll go up to my
room and, and have a good cry.

- Ozzie and Harriet will
be back in just a moment.

- How you doing?

- Oh, uh, not too bad.

It goes a little
slowly at first,

but then after you get warmed
up to it, it speeds right along.

You know it's funny
more people aren't

interested in this
sort of thing.

- What do you mean?

- Well, I noticed the last
time this book was borrowed

was December 10th, 1910.

What page are you on?

- Uh, page eight.

- You've only
reached page eight?

But tomorrow night
is the discussion.

- How you doing, Dad?

- Oh, pretty good, David.

I'm on page eight.

- Gee, you sure are
a fast reader, Pop.

- Well, there's a lot of
meat in this stuff when you

get to the interesting part.

Here, listen to this, reads
almost like modern fiction.

- "After Herodotus had resided
for some seven or eight years

in Salamis, events occurred
in his native city which

induced him to return thither.

The tyranny of Lygdamis
had gone from bad to worse,

and at last he was expelled."

You know now stuff
like that, you just

can't put the book down.

- Heck, I can't even pick it up.

- Still, wonderful reading.

Listen to this.

"The city of Epidamnus stands
at the right of the entrance

of the Ionic Gulf."

I'll get it, Mom.

- I'll go with you.

- Harriet, where are you going?

- Hey, wait for me!

- Now, Ricky, come
here a second!

- Heck, I don't want to
hear anymore either, Pop.

- Now, it won't hurt you
to listen to some of this.

"12 miles away, was
the colony of Corcyra,

founded by Phalious,
son of Eraticlites,

who had been summoned for
the purpose from the mother

country."

- Pop?

- Yes.

- Don't you think it's about
time for me to go to bed?

- If you'd just
listen carefully,

you might find this
very interesting.

- Careful, out of
the way, Ricky.

- What the heck
is that, Harriet?

- The man from the library
just brought that in a Jeep.

- What is it?

- "The History of the
Peloponnesian Wars"

by Sir Henry Parkinson.

- But that's the book
I've got right here.

- No, dear, you've
got volume one.

This is volume two.

- Oh, well, hey,
you shouldn't have

carried that big heavy
book all by yourself.

You should have
let David help you.

- David?

He's got his hands full
with volumes three and four.

- How are you doing?

- Oh, pretty well, thanks.

- Good, you're up
to page 27 already.

- Uhh, yeah.

I, I got kind of
a break, though.

I just ran into
15 pages of maps.

Ooof!

"So the Spartans sent to Athens
no formal declaration of war

but rather sought to create
some specious casus belli."

Uhh, Harriet, would you mind
answering the doorbellly,

please?

"Tending to inflame the
existing hostilities

against Pericles and Athens,
by implicating him in the curse

pronounced--

- Hi, Thorny.

- Harriet, Dr.
Thornberry, please.

- Ozzie, it's Thorny.

- Where's my colleague,
my fellow scholar?

- I'm here in the
dining room, Thorny.

- Greetings, professor.

- What are you doing over
here this hour of the night?

- Never let it be
said Thornberry

didn't come prepared.

We got to bone up, Oz,
burn the midnight oil.

- Well, what do you got here?

- What have I got here?

Well, that's a fine question
to ask after you roped me

in on the discussion.

I cleaned the entire
shelf of the library, Oz,

all eight copies.

- Eight copies of what?

- Well, the Rover Boys.

- The Rover Boys?

- Sure, Miss Fraser
called me and asked

if I'd like to join in.

- Well, you mean to
say the discussion

is about the Rover Boys?

Harriet, for goodness
sake's, here I

am studying this
whole big Pelepen--

- Thorny, do you remember
exactly what Miss Fraser

said to you on the phone?

- Why, certainly.

She said Oz was conducting a
discussion on the Rover Boys

and would I like--

- She said Rover Boys?

- Well, maybe she didn't exactly
say Rover Boys but she said,

"the book I was discussing with
Mr. Nelson this afternoon."

Now, what else could it be?

- Thorny, sit down for a moment.

- What's the matter?

- You tell him, Dear.

I'll make some fresh coffee.

- Thorny, my fine, old,
gray-headed friend--

- I don't have gray hairs.

- You will.

What do you know about
the Peloponnesian Wars?

- I have the layman's
knowledge: absolutely nothing.

What's this got to do
with the Rover Boys?

- Uhh, Thorny, hold
on to your hat.

The discussion tomorrow night
is about the Peloponnesian Wars.

- Oh, now, wait a minute, Oz.

How can anybody say
"Peloponnesian" into one phone

and have it come out the
other phone "The Rover Boys"?

- Relax, will you?

You're getting panicky.

Now, all we have to do is
just read through these four

delightful volumes.

So just lean back,
take your coat off,

and let's get to work.

The eye drops are right
over there on the buffet.

- "They are coming to inflame
the existing hostilities

against Pericles and
Athens by implicating him

in the curse pronounced
on the murders of Cyclon.

- Uhh, what have you
got on Kallikrates?

- Here, we are.

Hmm-mm.

Born in volume two,
died in Volume four.

- And took another road
into the Plains of Argus.

Oz, that's absolutely right.

How do you like that?
- How you doing, fellas?

- Oh, Hi, Harriet.

- Ask us anything reasonable
about the Peloponnesian Wars

and we'll give you an
answer just like that.

- Any reasonable question.

Go ahead, ask us one.

- OK, who won?

- That's not a
reasonable question.

- Now, now, wait a minute.
She's got a good point there.

We'd better look it up.

They might hit us with
that tomorrow night.

- Wait a minute.

Would you too stand by for
an important announcement?

- Such as what?

- Oh, Miss Fraser phoned.

The discussion has
been called off.

- What?

- Oh, what a disappointment!

- Oh.

- Sad enough I could talk
you into going to the movies?

- Mm-hmm, do you want to
go to the movies, Thorny.

- Oh, now look, Oz, think
of what you're doing.

If we left this room,
we'd be deserters.

Where's your
intellectual curiosity?

- You don't want
to go to the show?

- Why, of course not.

I happen to love literature.

I have no desire to go
to the bijou tonight.

- Very good picture, Thorny.

- I know, I've seen it.

Look at all this wonderful
reading material.

You mean to tell me
you can leave this?

Think of all the adventure
that lies between these covers.

- Harriet, Thorny
is absolutely right.

My intellectual curiosity and
my thirst for good literature

far surpasses my desire
to go to the movies.

- Are you serious?

- Well, of course, I am.

Shall we begin?

- All righty, there you are, Oz.

- Fine, suppose you take "The
Rover Boys on Land and Sea"

and I'll read "The Rover
Boys on Treasure Island."

- Honey, are you
just coming to bed?

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you.

Go back to sleep, dear.

- What time is it?

- No, it's pretty late.

Darn Thorny, I couldn't
get him to go home.

- Oh, look at the clock.

It's a quarter to five.

- Darn clock with
a luminous face.

- The idea of reading The
Rover Boys until almost 5:00

in the morning.

- It wasn't my fault. I
wanted to quit at four o'clock

but Thorny's such a kid.

Oh, we settled the
argument as to which

one is the fun loving Rover.

- Well, please tell me, so I can
go to sleep with a clear mind.

- Well, see, Thorny said, "Sam."

And I said, "Dick."

And Thorny was wrong.

It was "Tom."

Hello.

- Hi, Oz.

- Thorny, what do you want?

- Well, I'm having
a little trouble.

Will you put Harriet on?

I want her to explain
something to Catherine.

- Well, what's the matter?

- No, I don't know, Oz.

I keep telling her over and
over but somehow, she just

won't believe I was up all
night with The Rover Boys.

- Ozzie and Harriet will
be back in just a moment.

- Oh, Harriet, look what just
arrived by special messenger:

"The Story of Aristotle."

- Well, nice.

- And look at the card
that came with it.

- "Wishing you a
speedy recovery.

Miss Fraser."

- Yeah, where did she
get the idea I was sick?

- I can't imagine.

- Well, another thing that
I just happened to think of,

I don't remember
hearing the phone ring

when she called last night.

- Did you hear any dialing?

- No.

- That's good.

- Now, now, wait a minute.

Harriet, did you by any
chance phone Miss Fraser

last night and tell
her I was sick?

- Well, I had to do something.

Your intellectual
curiosity wouldn't

have let you stop with
the Peloponnesian Wars

you'd have just gone on
and on, and pretty soon

you'd have been so smart I
couldn't be happy with you.

- Just what do you mean by that?

- Oh, there's some
things I like to do.

If you grow any smarter
than you already are,

I won't be able to
do those things.

- What kind of things?

- Oh, little things,
like making phone

calls and not having you catch
you on until the next day.

- An old fashioned girl
