Is this famous quote an urban legend?

I've heard several people over the years quote their favorite line from Amos 'n Andy...

Kingfish: "Not only do I deny the allegations, but I resents the alligator!"

I've never been able to find a reference to a specific episode, and I'm beginning to think it's an urban legend. Anyone know?

I don't reference it either, but it's quite possible because Kingfish was a master of malapropisms. In one episode, he noted that the problem with enrolling in college is paying the intuition.

Yes! Episode 24 - "Leroy's Suits". You'll find it on YouTube.
