What happens
Phil Harris, nervous and irritable, visits his doctor, who tells him his problem may be boredom and suggests he take up some manual work. Phil decides he is a frustrated engineer and sets out to build something, first a bridge to Europe, then smaller projects around the house. Alice worries about him while Phil's sister-in-law Frankie Pelan sows doubts about his sanity. Phil and Frankie attempt to install a new light switch for the garage, with mixed results. This is The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, an NBC program first broadcast on November 13, 1949, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye.

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.
