What happens
Jack Benny is trying to get Don Wilson to sign a new contract, and Wilson has been locked in the den until he agrees. Meanwhile Benny deals with a sick parrot named Polly, a call from Mary Livingstone about her sister Babe, and a phone call from Phil Harris about his trip to Washington. Later Benny attends a meeting of the Beverly Hills Beavers, a club of neighborhood boys, where he runs for treasurer. The broadcast is part of the Jack Benny program, sponsored by Lucky Strike, and was first aired on January 30, 1949 on NBC and CBS Radio.

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.
