Burns and Allen – George Gets A Black Eye. 401209.

After a recent show in San Diego the cast members are back in the studio. Gracie talks about the men she flirted with, and George tries to cover up the fact that he has a black eye. After taking abuse from each of the cast, George finally tells a version of how he got his shiner, but is he telling all the truth? Artie Shaw plays a sultry number, Yesterday.

A Mexican visitor invites George to return to Tiajuana, where he got his black eye, but George isn’t so sure he wants to go. In flashback mode we find the cast in Mexico, and time is running short to make the border crossing. Can George make it back across the border in time, before it closes? The Smoothies sing, Now that You’ve Got Me This Way.

The whole cast is stranded South of the border, but Gracie flirts with the guard, in hopes of distracting him so the others can sneak back across. Will it work? Will the truth about George’s black eye be told? With the big flashback sequence done, will George take up the invitation to return to Mexico?
