This episode is interesting because it stars Alan Reed--the guy who voiced Fred Flintstone. So often you have heard his voice....now you can see the man behind it.
In this episode, Reed plays Charle, a hobo who is begging a meal off the Bumsteads. But he's NOT an ungrateful sort of guy and offers to help Dagwood. Charles' plan is to pose as an industrialist who wants to hire Dagwood away from Mr. Dithers. The assumption is that Dithers will then offer Dagwood a better deal--with stock in the company. After all, Dithers promised to do this...and now he's reneged on his offer. However, you can only assume that this plan is bound to backfire...though it actually did seem like a really good idea.
This is a very typical sort of episode, as arguments with Mr. Dithers are a common thread in the series. And, like most of these Dithers episodes, it's well worth seeing and quite interesting.
