The highlight of this show is when Groucho breaks into a spontaneous and very silly pseudo-Irish jig while one of the contestants sings some folk music (@ 18:45). He hadn't lost his knack for physical comedy.

COUPLE #1: Dan Gerber, president of Gerber Baby Foods / Lila Zinnato
COUPLE #2: Billie Watkins / Joesphine Ball, Mrs. America contestant
COUPLE #3: Sean Meaney, the Irish tenor whose prompts Groucho's jig / Pauline Ruby, from Arkansas
