WILLY - The Library Bonds

Air Date/Released Thursday, May 5, 1955
Station/Studio CBS / Desilu
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Half-hour comedy/drama series about Willa "Willy" Dodger, a recent law school graduate who returns to her New Hampshire hometown to open an office. Mid-season, the show's format was revised, moving Willy to New York City as the legal counsel to a vaudeville talent organization. Law cases usually had a light tone, with serious plots rarely addressed.

Renfrew's library fund is mistakenly spent on an NYC skyscraper fund. The episode is, to date, unavailable for viewing, and the full details of Joe Besser's role are unknown.
