Lou refers to Hillary as "ma'am lady" in that one. How come Hillary Brooke left the series after the first season? She does appear in footage originally shot for the first season in one or two episodes in the second season. She co-starred with Bud and Lou (about the time they started filming the second season) in ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET CAPTAIN KIDD, but for some reason, was not included in the cast along with Sid Fields and Gordon Jones.
