Kaskel announced that he would hire girl caddies to help the golfers on their rounds. Kaskel, no doubt inspired by bright-eyed flacks, said that he got the idea from a French golf club in Nice where female caddies are employed. It is there, he noted, that the President's father.

George Voskovec plays his psychiatrist and all other speaking roles in a virtuoso acting stint. In pursuit of "psychodramatic therapy," doctor and patient enact Holbrook's life until he winds up as a daredevil motorcyclist in an act called ''The Flying Saucers...
