What happens
Phil Harris is promoting his new movie, the wartime action picture Wild Blue Yonder, and he is proud of his performance. He takes his family to see it again and again, while his friend Frankie is reluctant to join him. Harris tries to get people to attend, first through his talent manager Curly Grogan, whose methods are unusual, and then by arranging a sketch on his radio show. The Phil Harris radio program, broadcast on NBC on February 17, 1952, stars Phil Harris and Alice Faye, with Elliott Lewis and Gale Gordon also featured.

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.
