In the third episode of the "Honeymooners Trip to Europe" story arc, the Kramdens and the Nortons arrive in Paris, the first stop for the European vacation that Ralph has won from the Flakey-Wakey cereal company. Almost immediately, Ralph and Ed are hoodwinked by a "helpful" bellboy who offers to convert their American currency into French francs. As a result, the boys' wives Alice (Sheila MacRae) and Trixie (Jane Kean) are arrested for passing counterfeit money! Taped in color, this 60-minute extravaganza features several musical numbers by Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler. A remake of a Honeymooners sketch that originally aired live on February 9, 1957 (in which the vacationers got mixed up with black marketeers rather than counterfeiters), "The Poor People of Paris" was telecast October 8, 1966, as an episode of The Jackie Gleason Show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
