What happens
Phil Harris, a bandleader, is sued for assault after a brawl in the Encino market, and his wife Alice Faye and friend Frankie Remley try to help him avoid trouble. Phil insists he was forced into the fight after a stranger insulted his music. Their only witness is the market clerk Julius, whose testimony Phil and Frankie try to shape. The episode is from The Phil Harris Alice Faye Show, broadcast on NBC on October 16, 1949, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye. Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon appear 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.
