What happens
Phil Harris and his band members visit the home of their sponsor, Mr. Scott, to apologize for their rowdy behavior at a dinner party the night before. When the phone lines go dead, Phil, Frankie Remley and Curly attempt repairs that go badly wrong. Overhearing a plot to steal Mrs. Scott's jewels over the party line, they rush over to foil the robbery. The series is The Phil Harris Show, first broadcast on NBC on February 3, 1952, with Phil Harris and Alice Faye in the leading roles.

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.
