PHIL SILVERS SHOW, THE {YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH}: HILLBILLY WHIZ (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 is disappointed when his men lose a baseball game to the W.A.C.s (Women's Army Corps). Bilko is also dreading an upcoming game against their rivals, Company A. However, his luck changes when a star pitcher, Hank, is transferred to his outfit. Bilko is so impressed with Hank that he decides he should sell him to the Yankees. He has only one problem: Hank is a true Southerner. Commercials deleted.
