What happens
Phil Harris is restless and dissatisfied with his radio show, and his wife Alice Faye notices he has been preoccupied for weeks. His friend Frankie Remley, played by Elliott Lewis, books Phil to perform at a University of Southern California football rally before the USC-UCLA game, promising publicity and a fee. Phil reluctantly agrees, and Frankie and Phil then try to impress a pair of sorority girls by pretending to be college men, with comic results. The series is The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, first aired on NBC on November 18, 1951, with Phil Harris and Alice Faye leading the cast.
Los Angeles, California, including the Harris home and the University of Southern California campus during the week before the USC-UCLA football game.
Characters: Phil Harris, Alice Faye, Frankie Remley, Willie, Phyllis, Julius, Caroline, Margie
Listen for: Phil's complaints about his radio show and his restlessness, Frankie's arrangement of the rally booking, and the sorority girls' reactions when Phil and Frankie dress and talk like college men.
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.
