What happens
On Easter Sunday in Beverly Hills, Jack Benny prepares for his annual stroll down Wilshire Boulevard in the Easter parade. Rochester lays out his clothes, but Jack insists on wearing his white suit despite Mary Livingstone's objections. Jack and Mary join the crowds on the avenue, greeting friends and acquaintances, including Bob Crosby and his wife, and Jack's violin teacher, Professor LaBlanc. Along the way, Jack and Mary encounter Don Wilson, who recounts a quiz program, a former bakery clerk, and Mr. Kittle. The walk brings a series of mishaps and comic exchanges with the pair continuing down the street. This episode of The Jack Benny Program aired on April 5, 1953, on NBC and CBS Radio, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the lead.

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.
