...savings and bought him a mod sleigh-a small plane with Santa Claus faces painted on its sides-and Auger flew into Santa Monica and Los Angeles with a sack over his shoulder. Local civic clubs would arrange for scores of kids to greet him: "The kids would all gang up around the airplane and I'd hand out all kinds of goodies."

Offense is the order of the day, particularly in one episode when a gang of blacks forces Sidney to strip and rape a lady in the park.
