What happens
Jack Benny broadcasts from Fort Devens near Boston with Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Dennis Day, with Abe Lyman as guest conductor. Jack's sleigh ride takes him and Rochester to an old house where George Washington is said to have slept, and they arrange to spend the night there. The early part of the program is largely comic exchanges among the cast, including Christmas gift teasing, a guest appearance urging young women to train as student nurses, and Dennis Day singing White Christmas. This 1942 episode of the Jack Benny series aired on NBC and CBS Radio on December 20, 1942, starring Jack Benny.

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.
