What happens
Jack Benny packs for a trip to New York, where he will open a television show, while his household and friends help with his luggage. His valet Rochester and wife Mary Livingstone join in the preparations, and Dennis Day arrives with an unusual request. At the airport, Benny runs into a series of odd characters and delays while trying to get his ticket validated and catch his flight. The episode is from the Jack Benny radio series, first aired on October 22, 1950, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the cast.
Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills, a taxi ride, and the airport, before a flight to New York.
Characters: Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Rochester, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, Mr. Kitzel
Listen for: Benny's ongoing gags about his luggage weight and his dislike of spending money, and the airport announcements.
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.
