Episode 305: Pearl Bailey

Floyd is unhappy with the closing number -- the jousting scene from Camelot -- in which he has to play a knight, complete with heavy armor. The number also includes the mysterious Black Knight, whose identity might be revealed by his distinctive, hook-nosed mask. At the last minute, they find that they can't afford the rights to Camelot's music, so they substitute tunes from West Side Story and Hello, Dolly.
