What happens
Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone are on a Grape-Nuts Flakes broadcast when Jack learns his violin has water under its bridge and needs a replacement for his evening performance. Jack then insists that Phil Baker owes him $64 from a quiz question, and he and Mary go to the hospital to collect it. There Jack finds Phil recovering from surgery, and the two bicker over whether Jack's answer on the quiz was right. The series is Jack Benny, first broadcast on January 10, 1943, and the leads are Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, with Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris also in the cast.

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.
