What happens
Jack Benny and his cast meet at a corner drugstore after Saturday rehearsal, joking about television sets, a lavish order, and a cigarette machine that refuses to deliver. Benny later leaves with Mary Livingstone and his driver Rochester for an appointment at a doctor's office for his annual checkup. In the waiting room he fills out a form with comic answers, and the doctor's examination goes awkwardly as a mix-up over the patient and the medicine unfolds. The radio series starring Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris aired on 1951-01-21 on NBC and CBS Radio.

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.
