The show opens with jokes about Gracie’s presidential campaign, and her latest campaign stops. Frank Parker sings, Begin the Beguine. The cast all get ready to hit the campaign trail, but George is in for a surprise when they get ready to meet Gracie’s aunt Clara.
Ray Noble plays a tune to transition to the train station. It should be no surprise for the listener to discover that aunt Clara is the name of Gracie’s mascot, the Kangaroo.
In usual style,
- George plays the straight man, gets frustrated over the zany antics and comebacks of the cast, and is generally the butt of jokes.
- Ray Noble doubles as the band leader, and repeats gags related to showering Gracie with gifts, and going out with her.
- Frank Parker keeps the gags about being assigned political cabinet positions alive. And
- Mary Kelley is on hand for the crazy jokes, and with getting the fat jokes.
