The evident mistake here is the same one made countless times in TV history: sign a big name with big talent and it won't matter what you put them in. Only it does matter, and audiences understandably declined to make this thin sitcom-vaudeville hybrid a habit. A live drama called 'Treasury Men In Action' crushed it in the ratings. Relying on information found at CTVA (somewhat dubious, I know) this episode aired on February 18, 1954.
