What happens
Phil Harris and Alice Faye leave the NBC studio after rehearsal and meet Mr. Scott, a Rexall executive, whom Phil once nearly blew up with a chemistry set. Phil promises to make amends by finding a babysitter for Scott's infant daughter that evening. Phil and his friends, including Frankie and Curly, struggle to find a sitter, and the household quickly falls into a series of mishaps while they attempt to care for the baby. This is an episode of The Phil Harris series, first broadcast on NBC on December 12, 1948, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye, with Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon also 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.
