Usually broadcast from Hollywood, but tonight the show is in New York. Host is Claudette Colbert.
Jimmy Durante joins her with hopes of being Claudette’s next leading man. At a request of the mail bag, Jimmy takes a quick walking tour of New York, then sings, He Ups to Me and I Ups to Him. Next, Ronald Coleman joins the walking tour. Ronald waxes dramatic and claims to have amnesia.
Claudette and Jimmy continue to the next corner to find Dale Evans. Hey, who knew? There’s a mailbag at the corner for Claudette to dip into for greetings from soldiers around the world.
Dale Evans sings, Amor Amor.
Jimmy and Claudette head to the bar to visit with Alan Hale. To present a sound from home, Alan drinks a mug of beer an munches on pretzels. Our hosts get fancy and head to a nightclub. Before they can get there, the amnesiac Ronald Coleman is back to bum another nickel.
At the club, and reading requests from the mailbag, Betty Hutton sings a lullabye, My Rocking Horse Ran Away. Ronald gets musical and is joined by Betty and Jimmy to sing a medley of tunes including: the Tre that Grows in Brooklyn, and Mother. With all the fun of the walking tour of New York over, Claudette closes with a good word for the troops.
