Yeah, I know. Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, but let's start the party early, with help from the Kingston Trio and The Jack Benny Program.
The Trio's performance of "Tijuana Jail" segues into a sketch in which they, along with Benny, Sy (Mel Blanc), and seemingly as many people as they can find, are squeezed into a jail. Don Wilson, Benny Rubin, and Vito Scotti play Mexicans.
Oddly, Blanc is credited as "himself". Scotti (ex-Andy's Gang), I believe, was starting to recur on Gilligan's Island around this time.
Benny had switched studios during the series run, from Desilu to Revue/Universal. The Universal globe was edited off this print.
