What happens
Phil Harris and Alice Faye play a married couple in Los Angeles, with their daughters Phyllis and Janine and their neighbor Elliot Lewis. The family struggles to cross the busy Ventura Boulevard because there is no traffic light at White Oak, and the girls find the crossing dangerous on their way home from school. Elliot suggests painting a crosswalk, and Phil agrees to help him, though the plan quickly runs into trouble with the traffic and an unexpected idea about digging. The episode is a 1953 broadcast of The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show on NBC, first aired on November 27, 1953. It opens with a studio audience welcome and a set of jokes before the main story begins.

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.
