That is a clip from "Andy's Gang" children's hour (1955 to 1960) hosted by Andy Devine. It was on Saturday mornings and nobody (my age) missed it (if you had a TV set).
My recollection is that Andy Devine's stint was a sort of revival of a previous kiddie show, The Buster Brown Show, which was sponsored by Buster Brown shoes (at the time, a very popular brand of kids' shoes). Apart from the ridiculous skits, the show had a brief - maybe 20 minute "drama" - of an ensemble company that variously did stories about a "Sabu"-type boy in India, a Hiawatha-type American Indian boy, and some other character that I cannot remember. The voice of Midnight the Cat was June Foray, who later did the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel in Rocky & Bullwinkle. Devine went on to play Deputy Jingles Jones in the Wild Bill Hickok show. He died in 1977.
