What happens
Jack Benny attends an auction with Mary Livingstone after a party at his home the night before. Rochester and Roy clean up the house while Benny waits for Mary to arrive. Dennis Day visits with a mysterious empty package, and Mary shows off a new convertible she won in a raffle. At the auction, Benny and Mary find an unusual umbrella stand made from an elephant's leg, and the bidding takes an unexpected turn. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first broadcast on January 18, 1953, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles.

Listen for: Dennis Day's empty package and the bidding on the elephant leg umbrella stand at the auction.
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.
