What happens
Luigi Basko, a recent immigrant taking night school classes, plans a Sunday outing to Riverview Park in Chicago with his classmates. Luigi tells his mother in Italy about the trip in letters, while his classmates, including Mr. Schultz and Mr. Horowitz, pester him about finding a date. Luigi's friend Pasquale bets him $25 that no girl will kiss him by the end of the day. Life with Luigi is a comedy series created by Sigh Howard, starring J. Carrol Naish as Luigi, and this episode aired on May 1, 1951.

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.
