Chief Gates on People Are Funny

Actor Ken Christy portrayed Police Chief Gates on The Great Gildersleeve radio show. The show People Are Funny was hosted by Art Linkletter, and on the program he assigned people to do various stunts, most of which had some twist to them that made them entertaining. On this particular program, he had an engaged couple leave the studio, pose as if they were eloping, and stop at a house, claiming that their car had broken down and could they spend the night there. Christy then was to come along later, bang on the door, and claim that he was looking for the low dog that had run off with his daughter.
