The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show

The General (8x1)

Air date: Sep 30, 1957

George is planning to follow the current trend in TV and do the show as a western, but, as often happens, the distinction between the show and reality is blurred, and somehow we wind up with a plot which focuses on guest star Douglas Dumbrille's portrayal of a stern army general who wants his son to go to West Point rather than to get married. Gracie provides her "help" and the conflict is resolved (in spite of it).
