The comic misadventures of the "skinflint" comedian and his friends.

Jack Benny was a regular on his own radio program since 1932. He brought the program, with his underplayed humor, to television along with his radio regulars. Jack, who remained thirty-nine-years-old, kept his money in his basement and drove his old Maxwell car just as he had done on the radio.—J.E. McKillop <[email protected]>

Jack tells of the big holiday parties celebrities throw but he did his party in an Automat. Jack handles an overenthusiastic and challenged fan. The writer of the jingle of the new sponsor, a major insurance company, joins Jack on stage and unintentionally reveals he just always talks in the same range and cadence of the jingle. Jack learns girl singer Jaye P. Morgan expects to be taken out for dinner as part of being on the show. When Jack balks at this, John Wayne steps up and she is delighted at the offer. Jack decides to do pick up work as the violinist at a gypsy restaurant and - mayhem naturally follows.—calcaylor
