What happens
Lou Costello and Bud Abbott are roommates at a boarding house, and Lou's new neighbor Susan Miller is the subject of their running argument. The argument turns to a telegram naming Lou as Patterson, New Jersey's delegate to the UNO, and Lou sets about preparing for the role, including a visit to a tailor and French lessons with Madame Fethi. The episode is from the Abbott and Costello series, first broadcast on August 11, 1948, on NBC and ABC. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello lead the cast, with Joe Kirk, Elvia Allman and Connie Haines also appearing. The story is still in progress at the point this guide covers.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
