PHIL SILVERS SHOW, THE {YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH}: THE CON MEN (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedies starring Phil Silvers as Sgt. Ernie Bilko, a fast-talking confidence man stationed at Fort Baxter in Kansas. In this episode, Bilko attempts to exact revenge on three card sharks who fleeced gullible Private Doberman of several hundred dollars. Pretending to be as gormless as his charge, the quick-shuffling Bilko joins the trio of hustlers for a poker game in their hotel suite. Commercials deleted.
(Series title varies; early episodes aired under the title "You'll Never Get Rich," which is retained as a subtitle in later episodes.)
