Burns and Allen – The Elsie Trellafas Case. 400826.

Announcer Bud Easton tries to tell George about a Hollywood party, but Gracie turns it into a routine when the word play and puns flow. The theme soon changes to a law suit where the girl from last week, Elsie Tralafaz was promised by George to put her on the radio. Now she’s suing George for not following through. With Gracie on his side, his settlement with the jilted gal could go through the roof. The cast pitch in their legal advice, but with friends like these, George will really need a good lawyer. The Smoothies sing, Ceri Beri Bin.

As George worries over a big bruiser who Elsie sent to rough him up, Gracie flirts. She also helps Artie Shaw out with a song that the cast join on to add to the situation. Too bad George doesn’t get their warning. Guitarist, Mr Lee sings while George faces down Elsie’s boyfriend outside.

Artie Shaw plays a tune. By now, George needs medication. Not just for the meeting out in the alley, but for his ever escalating lawyer bill. When an attorney makes his appearance, George tries to level with him, but with the comments from the cast, his chances at representing his character may be out the window. Plus, there’s a detail in the interview that goes bad for George that he didn’t see coming.
