The Wealthy Widow's Web
JordanThomasHall8 December 2016
The Belmonts are entertaining a guest for dinner. Stanley (Dom DeLuise) is distressed when he learns it is Wilma "Two Ton" Wallachek (Ruth Buzzi, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In"), an annoying former classmate from high school. She arrives slimmed down, having left the Marine Corps and came into money from her late, older husband who died at 81. He left her his company, "Here Kitty Kitty Cat Food". She is grateful to Stanley for the only man who was decent to her in school and offers him a $400 a week job as an "executive in training". Stanley excitedly takes the job offer and is shocked to see his roomy 30th floor office. He finds he has little to do, but when his older secretary leaves, Wilma comes in and he begins discovering his job duties. The plot to this story is very obvious early on, not helping the flow of the episode. Waiting for it made the resolution weak and the tag scene at the end was too easy of a payoff to the story.
