The audio resolution is low but clear.
Al Jolson introduces his guest, Monte Wooly. Famous for his beard, a few jokes about barbers give way to the lack of celebrity treatment that was lavished on the guest. They tease each other about their contributions to the Red Cross blood drive. Jo Stafford sings, What a Pensive Mood.
Mel Blanc is an inspector who gives Monte a hard time over his beard.
The easily offended actor is ready to leave California, and return to New York unless Al can find him a decent place to stay. Frank Nelson and Verna Felton add to the comic jabs that serve to sabotage Al’s efforts. Will they ever find a place that doesn’t leak, or have heat, or is even affordable?
Al Jolson sings, American Boy.
