The first 45 minutes is all entertainment, opening with a Hope monolog. Martha and Bob team up for a spoof of the movie Tom Jones, and Tony and Jack join in to present a new act--The Japanese Beatles. In the awards portion, TV Guide publisher James T. Quirk and Bob make the presentations in Hollywood.

Bob Hope's annual tour overseas: this time he hits Southeast Asia--Korea, Guam, the Philippines, Okinawa, Vietnam.

Where there's Hope, there's often Bing. And when Bing and Bob get together you'll invariably find pretty scenery - almost all of it female! Bob introduces Bach Yen (White Swallow), a 23-year old Vietnamese singer, and his own selection of promising Hollywood starlets. Bach Yen sings ""What Now My Love?"" (in French & English) and ""Dem Dong"", a Vietnamese folk song. Bing offers ""In the Cool, Cool of the Evening"" and ""Pennies From Heaven"".

Sketches include, a wealthy Texan (Bob) and a snooty Englishman (Bing) enter their prize ponies in the Grand National. And ""Fantastic Stomach"" a parody of the movie ""Fantastic Voyage"" which finds a miniaturized Bob and Bing penetrating the Vast Waistline to find out what's ailing Jackie Gleason. Les Brown conducts the orchestra.
