Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis
Story
It is nearly a generation since we've visited Dobie Gillis, and the middle-aged Dobie is nothing like he was as a youth, having has sown all of his wild oats. He's settled into the predictable adult life, married to the reliable Zelda (who was chasing him all through high-school), and assumed his father's role of running the family variety store. All of a sudden, key industries in the town shut down, putting hundreds out of work and severely threatening the local economy. Dobie, as head of the town council, is looked upon to lead the town out of this desperate crisis. When all seems lost, life-long friend Maynard G. Krebs appears, representing an old acquaintance who has a strange demand.

Armadilha Amorosa
Theatre Play
O futuro não oferece mistérios para Julie Gillis. Ela tem toda a vida traçada com ricos detalhes, como por exemplo, saber onde a foto do seu casamento ficará pendurada ou quantos peixes dourados ela terá em seu aquário. Julie até sabe que se casará no próximo dia 12 de março. Ela somente não sabe com quem se casará. Mas é quase certo que seu marido será Frank Sinatra. Os 'Velhos Olhos Azuis' estrelam essa deliciosa comédia romântica e ainda interpreta a música-tema, que se tornaria um dos grandes hits do cantor. Debbie Reynolds interpreta Julie, que prepara uma armadilha para capturar o coração de um agente de talentos de Manhattan, que se dedica a vida, à liberdade e à felicidade da solteirice. Esta pode ser uma Armadilha Amorosa. Mas graças a Sinatra, Reynolds e grandes intérpretes de comédia, como Celeste Holm, David Wayne e Carolyn Jones, ninguém sairá ferido dela.
