What happens
Phil Harris and his bandleader Frankie Remley prepare for a Friday rehearsal while Phil's brother-in-law Willie borrows Phil's car and Alice Faye drives him downtown. Phil resents Willie, who manages Alice's money, and the rehearsal is disrupted by Barbara, a harpist who clashes with Phil. Phil and Frankie then plot to get rid of Willie. The Phil Harris and Alice Faye show was broadcast on NBC on November 7, 1948, with Phil Harris and Alice Faye in the leading roles, alongside Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon.
Los Angeles, at Phil Harris's home and a radio studio where his band rehearses for the Sunday show.

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.
