What happens
Jack Benny hosts the Jell-O program, which opens with a reminiscence about school days.

Kenny is given a present, and the cast gathers for a comedic western sketch that involves a runaway pushcart. The episode was broadcast on November 15, 1936, on NBC and CBS Radio, and stars Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris.

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.
