Ben Hur (1x13)

Ausstrahlung: Mai 19, 1977

Moe Green promises Ben-Hur will be shown without commercial interruption, but he sneaks in a plug for deodorant. Other spots that break up the movie include something called ""Top-Secret"" and a crude chewing tobacco spread. But the real surprises come in the slapstick version of Ben-Hur ""by General George S. Patton."" The climax comes when Ben-Hur learns his mother and sister have turned into leopards. After the movie, Moe Green calls a few people to see if they can win more than $20 and a handful of kitchen magnets. Dialing For Dollars: Ben Hur, Parts 1 through 4
