Instead of his standard monologue opening, Red appears in a movie theater lobby and performs several skits relating to that subject, such as how to tell where different people sat during the film, how to tell the occupation of different people who drink from the water fountain, how to deal with various theater-goers, i.e., a naughty little boy and a patron who hogs the seat. The first Skelton Scrapbook, titled "The Sultan" features Red as a sultan who is bored with his harem. This skit eventually turns into a Tide commercial. The second Skelton Scrapbook, named "Bum's Rush" displays what is likely the first appearance of Freddie the Freeloader, hanging around and mooching outside a pool hall.
