What happens
Jack Benny and his valet Rochester prepare to leave Los Angeles for Denver, where Jack is to attend the opening of the March of Dimes campaign. Mary Livingstone joins him, and the couple, along with their parrot, make their way to the Union Station, delayed by a series of comic encounters with a taxi driver, a ticket agent and Phil Harris, who is taking a later train. Dennis Day and the quartet also turn up at the station. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first broadcast on 11 January 1948 and carried by NBC and CBS Radio, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles.
Jack Benny's house in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and then the Union Station in Los Angeles, as the travellers prepare to take the train to Denver, Colorado.
Characters: Jack Benny, Rochester, Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Don Wilson, Ed
Listen for: Jack's repeated attempts to buy train tickets from a flustered ticket agent, and the taxi driver who cannot bring himself to say goodbye.
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.
