What happens
Jack Benny plans a surprise for his friends and sends for a camel he has ordered, which he intends to bring to his house. He and Rochester pick up the animal from the freight office, but the rope breaks and the camel runs off down the street. Meanwhile Mary Livingstone and Phil Harris wait at the house, and a visitor arrives who is not the surprise they expected. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first broadcast on January 9, 1944, 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.
