Eddie opens with a host of sports related jokes, even working a reference to today’s guest. Dinah Shore, Eddie’s regular vocalist on the show, is all aflutter at the prospect of meeting Phil Harris. She jokes a little with Eddie about sports, films, celebrities. Eddie has a new comedian for the show, Mr Guffy, who does his bit to misunderstand everything Eddie tells him. Dinah sings, Lullabye Lane.
Harry Vonzel goes to Eddies new movie production office to get a job as a leading man, but of course is just an excuse to let the movie jokes roll. Phil enters and sweeps Dinah off her feet. Phil has been well known for his education, or lack thereof from his years on the Jack Benny show. He jokes with Eddie about his ability in the knowledge areana.
After a commercial break the show continues. Eddie pitches movie ideas that Phil helps him out with. Namely that he’s a old man in the hospital, and Phil helps him get well. Eddie closes with a song, a swinging version of, The Farmer in the Dell. Harry ends the show with a presidential letter to invite Eddie to participate at the upcoming inaugaral ceremonies.
