Airdate: April 18, 1989
The intro was cut out before Pat was introduced.
Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Fred Purnell: Director of contracts for a large public agency, Philadelphia, PA
Fran Thomas: Writer but taking a year off
Betty Biasi (?): Retired mail carrier, Lake City, FL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, so after it! Don't let it slip from your hands!
Perfection! Fred solves FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME.
Back to the never-ending closet again for an Almira classic wood range (labeled STOVE) worth $2,895.
Never-ending cash starting with the $2,500 space (Whoops. My apologies to $1,000):
Betty hesitates before asking to solve, saying RICHMOND MORGAN GRAHAM.
Fred solves RICHMOND VIRGINIA GRAHAM.
Land on $3,500 now, and I think you can walk away happy!
Fran solves BIZARRE BEHAVIOR for the house minimum.
And here, we bring out a Caribbean cruise (labeled CRUISE) worth $5,622.
Some unusual spins and letter, though we hope the $5,000 space can attract some for good fortune.
Fred solves SMOTHERED IN ONIONS. I think we're full.
Too bad a few others ran empty. Betty, in particular, ends up with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Claiming nearly everything, Fred can take a little more. It will be one of...
Convertible (over $57,000)
Antarctica expedition with mink coat (over $54,000)
Pickup and boat (over $39,000)
Earclips ($39,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
He'd like more cash. Just solve this:
He gets RSTLNE for free...
...then he must give a little. It's CMDI...
What kind of a trade is that?
He does not solve YOKO ONO, and Pat remarked after Fred said OK that he tried to will him into picking those two letters!
But he still leaves with $11,350 in cash.
