A very busy and entertaining show on tap this evening, with Tom Poston, Sally Ann Howes, guest panelist, Allen Ludden and Kitty Carlisle on board. First up, to the strains of a popular song of the day, "Pink Lemonade," are three gentlemen, who introduce themselves as Dr. Warren Nadel (New York City dentist) and show business moniker, Randy Starr, composer and singer of Top 40 songs. Sally Ann and Mr. Ludden determine the correct dentist by day and composer/singer at night and weekends. Before leaving, Dr. Nadel/Mr. Starr sings a bit of his latest tune, " Half-Hearted Love." On a more serious note, the second round presents an American man and French woman, respectively as Mr. Hubert Trent and Madame Jeanine Giles, D-Day rescuer and rescued. During World War II, Army pilot Hubert flew from England to Normandy that fateful June 6 day and was rescued and protected by Madame Giles, putting her life at risk. As well, Bud Collyer introduces the French actress, in the audience that evening, who played Madame Giles in the 1962 classic war film, "The Longest Day." Despite that clue, as Mr. Collyer calls it, the panel is stumped, but delighted and moved by the heroic tale. Finally, three British gentlemen are presented as one Mr. Stanley Dangerfield, a world authority on dogs, with a program on the BBC and having lectured throughout western Europe on his canine expertise. Tom Poston, Sally Ann Howes, and Kitty Carlisle accurately peg the gentleman. Bud Collyer bids the panel good night, and they are seen mingling with contestants, impostors and genuine, in the studio, as the closing credits roll.

Gene Rayburn joins regular panelists Kitty Carlisle, Peggy Cass and Tom Poston this evening. In the first round, three gentlemen introduce themselves as Mr. George Tweed, who eluded capture by the Japanese on Guam for over two years. He lived on his wits, in the jungle and eluded the Japanese for all of that time. At the first sight of an American naval vessel, he swam out to sea, was rescued and told U.S. authorities the secrets of Japanese maneuvers and strategies. . For his valor, he was granted the Legion of Merit medal and was hailed a war hero. As well, he wrote the book, "No Man is an Island." Only the two gentlemen on the panel, Mr. Poston and Mr. Rayburn, correctly identified the real Mr. Tweed. The second round presents three young women, who claim to be Native American, all dressed in authentic Native American garb. The young women identify themselves as Ramona Edith Soto. Bud Collyer points out that two of the Native American costumes worn by two of the contestants are over 200 years old. Their claim to fame is to be Miss Indian America, whom Tom Poston, Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlisle identify successfully. Finally, the third round presents three gentlemen who claim to be Mr. Tracy Barnes, hot air balloon expert and named the year's National Hot Air Balloonist. Once again, the two gentlemen, Mr. Poston and Mr. Rayburn, accurately peg the real Mr. Tracy.
