Wagoner confers with Cutrer, asking T. Tommy if he'd ever buy a ticket from here to halfway to Europe. "Not unless I had more money than sense," Cutrer replies. "It's the same way with a laxative," Wagoner says, adding that "you don't want halfway relief from irregularity -- you want Black-Draught." Cutrer extols "thoroughly dependable, dependably thorough" virtues of product, which is available in powder, syrup, or candy coated tablet form. It's gentle, yet thorough and makes you feel "fresh and clean inside." Wagoner and Wagonmasters play Black-Draught jingle, with lively fiddle coda by Little Jack Little.

Wagoner introduces "a little gal who's been making people laugh all over the country with her funny sayings, and her singing, and picking... from the Grand Ole Opry, Miss June Carter."

Carter recites funny little poem about failed romance (keep in mind this is a full five years or more before her marriage to Johnny Cash).

Carter snaps her fingers and belts out a zesty rendition of "Poor Old Heartsick Me" backed by The Wagonmasters, at one point working Don's name into the song. Halfway through the number she starts dancing and kicks up her feet so high that one of her shoes comes off and goes sailing offscreen. An unseen hand tosses it back to her, and when Wagoner returns he says "she almost killed one of our cameramen when that shoe flew outta here." Carter yells back something unintelligible from off-camera.

Wagoner introduces a new movie, a short animated commercial for Soltice Quick-Rub cold relief. Cartoon man sneezes, so a giant hand reaches in from off-screen and hands him a jar of Soltice. Man rubs it on his chest, resulting in a twinkly glow in his abdomen accompanied by fluty musical cue representing soothing relief. Mans says "I like it," and announcer replies "You'll like Soltice too."
