What happens
Jack Benny, who has been told by his wife to do housework, receives a script from Warner Brothers and decides to pitch himself for a Western. He visits his neighbour Ronald Colman, who has just won an Academy Award, to offer him a part, but Colman refuses. Benny admires the Oscar and borrows it to show his butler Rochester. On the way home, Benny is confronted by a robber on the street. The episode is part of the Jack Benny series and aired on March 28, 1948 on NBC and CBS Radio, 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.
