Copy of Stubby Pringle's Christmas

This was my father's last role before he died in December 1978. He was very ill when this was filmed and actually died before it was originally aired. I believe he died and it was aired the night before his funeral. I would love to obtain a VHS copy of this presentation. There is a story he and good friend Strother Martin traded roles at the last minute so that Chill could use the janitor's broom to hold himself up. He would never stop working or admit he was to sick to work. I don't remember much of the story because of the situation I was in. I do remember Chill flying to Denver to film this. He was in and out of the Motion Picture Hospital during this time.
