What happens
Jack Benny is invited to Mary Livingstone's house, where Mary tells him he has a reputation for being cheap and must change his ways. Jack's thoughts run to marriage as he heads over, and that evening he dreams he is married to Mary, with a daughter, Joni, and her boyfriend Dennis Day. The Jack Benny series aired on NBC and CBS Radio, and this episode is from October 15, 1950, starring Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris. Jack and Mary bicker over his thriftiness, and his dream casts him as a struggling musician with a family life full of small domestic squabbles.

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.
