What happens
Phil Harris worries that Rexall will not renew his contract after the season ends, and his sponsor's representative Mr. Scott seems ready to replace him with Guy Lombardo for the summer. Phil and his co-star Alice Faye, along with the bandleader and friend Frankie Remley, try to find out what the sponsor really intends. The episode is from The Phil Harris Alice Faye Show, first broadcast on NBC on June 26, 1949, with Phil Harris and Alice Faye in the leading roles, joined by Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon. The story follows the characters' efforts to get a disputed document back from Mr. Scott.
Rexall sponsored radio program studio and offices in New York, late June 1949, at the end of the show's season.
Characters: Phil Harris, Alice Faye, Frankie Remley, Mr. Scott, Julius, Guy Lombardo
Listen for: Listen for Phil Harris's worry about his contract, and for the attempt to recover the paper Mr. Scott has.
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.
