A production for a studio of soldiers, and likely for airing over AFRS, since the commercials are missing, and extra music is added throughout the show.
George politely complains about the new maid. Mrs Regan may be a good enough cook, and family servant, but he’s getting tired of having chowder all the time, especially for breakfast. Bill enters to hear about how George was offended at Gracie defending Mrs Regan. Will it end up in a sponsor message? Will Gracie be able to snap George out of his mood?
Jimmy Cash sings, Pretty Soon. As George tinkers with the plumbing, Gracie is extra supportive of him. Despite mixups like attaching the water into the gas, she keeps assisting, and trying to offer subtile hints at the right way to connect pipes.
Taking a break from the disaster, Gracie answers the door to chat with the postman. The exuberant dynamo of a man gives a manly roar strength for her. Back in the basement, George is handling the work on his own. Can another visit from Bill be the thing he needs to accept friendly plumbing advice? The pipes are soon fixed, and George proudly shows off to Gracie the result of his handiwork.
Felix Mills plays, Me and My Gal. The proof in the pudding is when George continues to show that the fixtures, and circuitry, in the house work… sort of. Jimmy Cash is back to sing, Time Waits for No One.
Faced with the problem of injuring George’s ego, or floating out of the house, Gracie has to go to a real plumber. Realizing his limits, George hires a plumber to bail him out, but there’s one secret about the arrangement he isn’t in on. Felix Mills and the Swantettes perform, Sweet and Lovely.
