Jack Benny – Jack Catches Cold at Don’s House. ep388, 401201

Don regrets to inform us that Jack has a cold that he got while visiting his house. We then fade into the scene where Jack is being nursed to health by Rochester. Mary Livingstone gives Jack a hard time for being at fault in catching his cold. Dennis Day enters to learn about the omelet home remedy that Mary plastered to Jack’s chest. After a distraction, Dennis sings, A Nightingale Sang in Barclay Square.

The dozing Jack is awakened when his cigars are about to be swiped. He and Rochester talk about their crazy boarder, Mr Billingsley, then Phil Harris enters to tease Jack about his taste in women.

As the gang wait for the doctor, Mr Billingsley hunts for his cloud under Jack’s bed. Is that guy crazy. Or scary? Let’s just say, he has Rochester scared white. Phil Harris plays, Isn’t That Just Like Love?

The gang get a visit from Don Wilson. Will his apology mend the rift between him and Jack? Frank Nelson arrives as the doctor, as Don storms out. His remedies may not be any better than Mary’s, but just as corny. The gang steps out to let Jack rest, and he dreams of being held up last week.
