What happens
Jack Benny buys Thanksgiving turkey at a local market with Mary Livingstone at his side, and the shopping trip turns chaotic as the butcher, neighbors and the store staff crowd around them. Benny's household includes Rochester, who handles the turkey at home, and Dennis Day, who visits with a request for a raise. The episode belongs to the Jack Benny radio series, first broadcast on November 21, 1943, with Benny, Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the lead roles. The story is comedic and centers on Benny's preparations for holiday guests and his growing unease about the bird he has bought.

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.
