What happens
Jack Benny and Rochester drive downtown on the last shopping days before Christmas, with Mary Livingstone meeting Jack at the store. Jack goes through a series of shopping mishaps, including a confusing trip to the credit department where he is asked to list his assets and liabilities and the banks where he keeps his money. Jack and Mary struggle with clerks at the lingerie, hosiery, perfume and shoelace counters, and Rochester is overheard shopping for his employer. The episode is a Jack Benny comedy from the 1947 series, first broadcast on December 21, 1947 on NBC and CBS Radio, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles.

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.
