Here is good ol' Jack taking a little vacation, to Hawaii. Sadly missing is Mary, as she was from most of the episodes at this point (the story is she developed stage fright). Off he goes for a relaxing boat journey, and expects to take full advantage of sun and maybe even a little romance--Jayne Mansfield conveniently appearing, at least in his dream! But, unfortunately, the voluptuous Jayne turns in to a fat girl. Another fat joke? Yes, in one of the typical vaudeville conventions Jack grew up with, fat was funny back then. Poor Don Wilson took the brunt of the jokes for many years, and there was a Blue Fairy fat woman--not too pleasant these days, but probably in forty or fifty years the comedy of today will seem dumb and tasteless. (Not too hard to believe, is it?) The world keeps turning.
