Just two days after Pearl Harbor, the show opens with war news updates.
Bills have piled up, and Fibber sorts through them. A postcard isn’t just an advertisement, it offers 40% off merchandise. Before the McGees can do anything about it, Billy Mills enters to tell about his Christmas shopping. Why does coffee make Billy sleepy? Abigail Uppington arrives to learn about Fibber’s influence to get 40% off at the store. The Kingsmen sing, Chew.
Adding to Fibbers shopping list, a friend named Mort phones to get a discounted shotgun. Molly begins to wonder what kind of mess Fibber is getting into. Harlowe Wilcox visits to pitch the sponsor. Will he have an addition to Fibber’s growing shopping list?
The next knock at the door finds the mayor to tell about the Arabian Nights. Latrivia needs a large globe to display in his office. Wallace arrives to tell about his wife’s sense of humor. He tells about a snake bite incident, and wants Fibber to add dumbbells to his list. There’s just a quick trip to the hall closet, then Martha Tilton sings, The Last Time I Saw Paris.
Home again after a horrible shopping trip, Molly finds out how much the trip really cost, plus delivery charges. The phone starts ringing, the door knocks come, all with complaints that the goods Fibber promised are much less, and smaller in their reality.
