Introduction to Porter Wagoner Show #26B. Via voice over, announcer T. Tommy Cutrer introduces sponsors over title cards illustrated with product artwork: Black-Draught laxative "that leaves you feeling fresh and clean inside," Soltice Quick-Rub cold relief, and Soltice Hi-Therm. Over title card, Cutrer introduces Porter Wagoner and the Wagonmasters, series regulars Norma Jean and Speck Rhodes, and their special guest star Grandpa Jones. Wagoner and Wagonmasters Don Warden and Jack Little sing Black-Draught jingle. Cutrer enters as Wagoner, wearing rhinestone studded Nudie suit, says: "Black-Draught, Soltice, and Hi, T." Cutrer introduces Wagoner as "the number one Black-Draught salesman." Accompanied by The Wagonmasters, Wagoner plays guitar and sings "Y'all Come." Norma Jean and Speck also take turns at the mic. MS Buck Trent banjo solo. Excellent upbeat clip.

Wagoner hands it over to "our friend from Louisiana." Cutrer pitches Black-Draught. "As they say back home, it's OK by me, how's bayou?" Cutrer extols Black-Draught's thorough, gentle qualities. Plugs powdered, syrup, and candy-coated candy forms, with emphasis on easy-to-take candy-coated tablets: "they're small and have no taste." "It's the laxative that helps you feel fresh and clean inside." Wagoner and Wagonmasters Don and Jack sing Black-Draught jingle with lengthy banjo coda by Buck Trent interpolating "Jesse James." During solo there is a loud clunk from something offscreen. Funny expressions on Trent's face as he apparently responds to offscreen chaos, followed by great mugging to camera. Afterwards Wagoner says "who dropped that bomb while you started playing there?"
