What happens
Joan Davis, proprietor of the Sealtest Village Store, is eager to impress singer Frank Sinatra when he visits the shop while in town for a concert. Her manager Jack Haley advises her to play it cool, but her attempts at sophistication and aloofness backfire, while Blimp and other store regulars add to the comedy. Sinatra agrees to a date, and Joan's plans for the evening take an unexpected turn. The episode is from the Joan Davis series, first broadcast on 9 September 1943, and features Joan Davis and Jack Haley.

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.
