What happens
Jack Benny and his cast are travelling home from New York aboard the Super Chief, passing the time with a game of Twenty Questions in Mary Livingstone's compartment. Mary, Dennis Day and Don Wilson take turns guessing a hidden subject, and their questions lead to a series of comic detours about birds, a man with a mustache and a piece of chalk. Phil Harris looks in on the group, and the train's porter talks with Rochester about Jack's habits. The Jack Benny program was broadcast on NBC on November 5, 1950, sponsored by Lucky Strike, with Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris among the leads.

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.
