Note: The first half of this program is missing, but the highlight here is too good to not post the fragment: Groucho hilariously joins in on a modern dance demonstration by one of the contestants, @ 8:00. It's like seeing Groucho briefly overtaken by the old spirit of Captain Spaulding himself.

COUPLE #1 [missing]: Howard Lindenmeyer / Ellen Waring
COUPLE #2: Game warden / Mrs. Howard Owens, house mother for college boys
COUPLE #3: Ivan Kirov, dance instructor, who does the above-mentioned dance demonstration / Barbara Tominson, adagio artist at Muscle Beach
