Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $14,000 RX-7!
A pair of $3,500 coral and diamond earrings!
A $6,000 mink coat!
Over $96,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Peg Goldstein: Mother of two, from Marlton, NJ
Renee Bouvier: Receptionist at a convalescent hospital in Las Vegas, NV
"Doc" Piper: Owns a pro shop for golf, from Rochester, NY
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Peg solves SENSE OF HUMOR.
Let's not joke around, because we need a good prize! How about a Martin Lawrence Galleries limited edition Aquarium serigraph by Hiro Yamagata (labeled GRAPHIC) worth $1,600?
Doc solves GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START.
Now Doc's off to a good start...but that's nothing compared to what he could score from the $5,000 space!
Perfection! Doc solves PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN. We're gonna need a break for him to spend that money...
What a way to finish!
At least Peg scored something before her silence. Renee was less fortunate, and she takes the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:
Pat asks Doc if he knows any of the seven dwarves: He gets Doc, Sneezy, Bashful, Grumpy, and Dopey. Pat says "Curly, Moe, and Larry". They mention Happy last...but they forgot Sleepy.
Anyway, how can Doc top his win? As the big winner, he must play for one more prize, and it will be...
Tiffany & Co. gift certificate featuring opera-length strand of 8.5 mm rose pearls ($11,000)
He just needs to solve one more puzzle:

He guesses THE LONE before changing to THE LOVE HEAT, and then he solves THE LOVE BOAT on the buzzer ...but he's a bit slow, and his solve isn't taken.
Pat insists that the pearls don't really suit him anyway. Still Doc has the keys to Vanna's apartment his new RX-7. There's one condition from his wife that he doesn't get into the car with Vanna.
In the end, Doc leaves with $18,200 in prizes.
