Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone and Don Wilson posing for a photo in 1938.

Or, The Train Porter.

In the train station in Chicago, Jack and the gang board the train bound for Los Angeles. Autograph seekers, Rochester the train porter, and the silliness of Kenny Baker. The train pulls out to a swinging tune by the band.

Approaching New Mexico, Mary tries to read a poem, but Jack manages to cut her off… mostly. The autograph hunting gals are back, and seeking a little tallent discovery. Will Jack ever figure out how far it is to Albuquerque? Kenny Baker sings, Trust in Me.

The train pulls into the town of… Waiting Room… er I mean albuquerque. Kenny buys a tomahawk from a local indian, while Jack and Mary step into a shop for some mocasins. Rolling out once again, the train swings to the travelling music of the band, Swing High Swing Low.

Andy Devine and Phil Harris greet the train, and learn about all the classy places the gang went. After a commercial break, Jack and Mary say their goodbyes to the listeners.
