Sad Sack Laugh Special #20

In "Innocent Bystander," Sad Sack gets a rare seven-day pass and spends it relaxing in town—until a car crash interrupts his peace. When a policeman arrives, Sack tries to help by explaining what he saw, only to be accused by the drivers of causing the accident. Just as he’s arrested, a woman steps forward to vouch for his honesty, setting off a chain of events that lands him in traffic court. Eager to prove himself right, Sack’s outburst in court lands him back in jail—seven days, exactly—while the very motorists he tried to expose drive past his cell, finally at peace.

In "The Improviser," Sadie’s quick thinking saves the day when Gertie comes down with a cold and there’s no thermometer—so she simply removes the outdoor one from the barracks wall and puts it in Gertie’s mouth. The absurdity unfolds with military precision and comic flair, as the girls navigate the situation with the kind of resourcefulness only a wartime barracks can inspire.

In "Good Example," chaos erupts among the troops when petty squabbles escalate into full-blown brawls, prompting the General to summon a peace-loving professor to deliver a lecture on harmony. The moment the professor takes the stage, the mood shifts—only to crash when he’s abruptly arrested for wife beating at the very start of his talk.
