Airdate: Mar-Apr 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A fully-customized Kellogg Touring Coach!
A flower brooch!
A San Juan pool!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $207,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Robin Stanchu (?): Treasury analyst for a major title insurance company, from Wheaton, IL
Franklyn Knight: According to Pat's card - Married, two sons, one daughter, minister, part-time teacher, ~~yes man~~ (okay, that's it)
Tom Henry: President of a home health service company, from Lebanon, TN

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

ROBIN	Franklyn	Tom
$150: S (DUD!)	$400: N (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!

Free Spin! $200: T $150: P (DUD!)	$400: R (x2) -$250: E $350: M BANKRUPT! ($900)	$500: G $800: C (DUD!)
$200		$500
$900: L (DUD!)	$800: D Solve: Correct!
$200	$800

Tom tries to buy a vowel after spinning $800, but Pat stops him.

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Franklyn solves FAIRY GODMOTHER. "What's this Fictional Character stuff?"

Robin (FS)	Franklyn	Tom
	$800

Actually, Franklyn could say yes to our Wheel prize: a Krementz Jewelry 14-karat yellow gold ring with 3 oval topaz center stones and 4 full-cut diamonds (labeled RING) worth $2,725.

The magic of the $2,500 space will make all of his dreams come true!

Round 2

QUOTATION

Robin (FS)	FRANKLYN	Tom
	RING! $300: T (x2) $150: H (x2) -$250: A (x3) $200: N $250: D (DUD!)	$900: R $900: S (x2) $400: B $350: G (DUD!)
	$850+	$3,100
$400: L (x3) Solve: Correct!
$1,200

QUOTATION

Robin solves THAT'S AN IRISH LULLABY.

Robin (FS)	Franklyn	Tom
$1,200	$800

Tom might be able to sleep soundly after he knows he's hit the $3,500 space and solved a puzzle.

Round 3

PHRASE

Robin (FS)	Franklyn	TOM
		$200: R $250: T (x3) $900: H $900: S (x3) $900: N (x3) $900: C -$250: E (x4) $400: L (DUD!)
		$7,900
$900: P (DUD!)	$250: G $250: D $800: V Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	$1,300

Again after his fifth spin, Tom tries to buy a vowel and has to be reminded by Pat.

On his $400 spin, he asks to buy a vowel without Pat's interference and says he'll "buy an L". Pat's getting exhausted.

PHRASE

Franklyn solves THE CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

Robin (FS)	Franklyn	Tom
$1,200	$2,100

We might need to investigate funny ol' Tom over there, and as we wait, here comes a Wurlitzer Casino Player Piano (labeled PIANO) worth $7,315.

Player piano, huh? If only it was easy for the Wheel to brake at the $5,000 space when we need it.

Round 4

PLACE

ROBIN (FS)	Franklyn	Tom
$900: T (x2) $200: S
$2,000

PLACE

DING DING! DING DING!

Before we investigate how we got here, we'll ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $550 a piece.

Robin: M (DUD!)
Franklyn: N (x2) ($1,100)
Tom: R (x2) ($1,100)
Robin: W ($2,550)
Franklyn: D (DUD!)
Tom: G (x2) ($2,200)

PLACE

Tom says GEORGETOWN and nothing else.

Robin: L (DUD!)
Franklyn: V ($1,650)

PLACE

Franklyn solves GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY.

Robin (...)	Franklyn	Tom
$1,200	$3,750

We couldn't enroll Tom in the bounty. Pat knows he made it fun, but he'll still be leaving with some nice parting gifts.

We're also ready to investigate Robin for leaving behind a Free Spin.

BONUS ROUND:

Say yes to Bonus Land, Franklyn! And take a look at our great prizes!

Pat wasn't expecting the break, but after that, Franklyn says yes to...

Kellogg Grand Touring Coach with captain's chairs, color TV, VCR, and phone ($47,656)

We say no to hard puzzles.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

We thought we said NO to hard puzzles! Franklyn tries CMWO for the rest.

THING

He guesses various OWL, and he does not solve BABY OIL. Franklyn leaves with $3,750 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat asks if Vanna can "shimmy" her dress, and she does for the last few seconds.
