What happens
Jack Benny plans a swimming party at his Beverly Hills home in springtime. His servant Rochester is dusting the house, and Mary Livingstone drops in early. Jack's invited guests begin to arrive, including Phil Harris and Herman Peabody, and the group prepares to swim in the newly filled pool. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first aired March 26, 1944, on NBC and CBS Radio, with Benny, Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the lead roles. Rochester's pranks, a Egyptian caretaker named Mustafa, and mix-ups over Gladys Abisco's bathing suit keep the household busy as the afternoon gets underway.

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.
