Rocky Valentine is a career criminal who as we view him initially is burglarizing a pawn shop.\u00a0 The cops arrive and Rocky runs down an alley and jumps onto a wall to escape.\u00a0 The police order him to halt.\u00a0 He fires a few shots at them and they hit him with several bullets at which point he falls off the wall.\u00a0 Next we see him lying unconscious on the ground when a portly bearded man named Pip (played by Sebastian Cabot) approaches him and calls to him to wake up.\u00a0 Rocky gets to his feet and immediately attempts to rob Pip who casually hands him seven hundred dollars and asks him if he\u2019d like more.\u00a0 When Rocky wants to know who Pip is, he replies that he is Rocky\u2019s guide.\u00a0 Pip brings Rocky to a spacious apartment decorated in the taste that we imagine Rocky would appreciate.\u00a0 Large paintings of voluptuously shaped women and gold colored trappings adorn the deluxe suite.\u00a0 Pip provides him with expensive new clothing, gourmet food and even an attractive interested woman for company.\u00a0 When Rocky becomes suspicious of this set-up Pip reveals that Rocky died when the police shot him and this was the after-life. \u00a0\u00a0Later on, he brings Rocky to a gambling club where he is surrounded by appreciative attractive women and games of chance where he never loses.\u00a0 Afterwards he drives home in a luxury convertible with his bevy of girls.<\/p>\n
A month later we see him at the club still winning every spin of the roulette wheel and every pull of the slot machine handle.\u00a0 He\u2019s even bored of the women.\u00a0 He calls up Pip and begs him to relieve the boredom.\u00a0 Pip, ever agreeable, asks if he\u2019d like to lose occasionally.\u00a0 But Rocky says it wouldn\u2019t help.\u00a0 He asks if he could get back to thievery and Pip recommends a bank around the corner.\u00a0 But when Rocky asks if it is possible that he\u2019ll get caught Pip\u2019s smile reveals the futility of his idea.\u00a0 Desperate to understand his predicament he asks why he is so miserable in heaven.\u00a0 Pip laughs and says, \u201cYou think you\u2019re in heaven?\u201d\u00a0 And the show concludes with Pip laughing on and on and Rocky in despair.<\/p>\n
I guess the regulars here know I have a soft spot for comedy.\u00a0 This is a very silly episode and I like it a lot.\u00a0 A jolly devil and a despicable thug from Brooklyn.\u00a0 How can we go wrong?\u00a0 B+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
