Jack Benny Show - Jack is Taking a Taxi to the Show

We tune in to find that Jack is late for the broadcast. As Mary
tries to cover for him in the studio, we are transported to
Jack's wisecracking cabbie who gets stopped by the cops, but do
you think Jack makes it to the studio? No? Yes! Don't worry,
that'll make more sense when you listen.


In the studio, Don Bestor plays, but his song is snipped. Jack
jokes on music, the sponsor, Don Wilson being cheap. That's right
Don Wilson is cheap. Jack didn't quite corner that treait at this
point in his famous career.


Jokes also include being in the movies, but Mary's remarks brings
Jack down. Don's next number is snipped as well. Frank Parker
enters for a few jokes about the theater scene in town. In the
process, Frank invites Jack to visit him at home and meet his
folks. As Jack leaves the audience in the hands of Don Bestor,
his number is again snipped.


The visit at Franks turns into a musical, operetic spoof as Jack
meets the musical family. Jack and Mary have some fun with the
musical conversation as they hold their own.
