"Movin' On" 1977 #2

Scan10778, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. After a series of car crashes and mayhem, the elephant eludes the police, winds up in the countryside and is reunited with the Hobo (Keenan Wynn). I don't remember much more of the plot, such as it was, but the story concluded by "Anna May" pulling a railroad gasoline tanker out of a burning area (assisted by a wrecker with a winch) and saving the city of Charleston. Mr. Wynn was perfect for the part, Ben taught him the proper commands and positioning and he and "Anna May" got along great. This episode of the show was very well received and Barbara was approached about the possibility of doing a "tramp and elephant" spin-off but I quickly ended all that folly by stating, "What?......Go off to California and miss the chance to tour with the Greatest Show on Earth?......Don't you realize that we can stay on this show the rest of our lives?
