The guys make a singing entrance, but Dean isn’t too happy with Jerry’s musical skill. With joking aside, Dean sings, You Won’t Be Satisfied.
In their apartment, Jarry reads the reviews from last week, and is feeling low. They talk about how to boost their show popularity, and want to get Bob Hope to appear again. Dean reads a telegram from William Bendix, who wants to be on the show. They rehash some of the hygene jokes from last week. The maid is now their secretary, and is just as neurotic as ever.
Parting ways, Dean and Jerry head downtown to meet William Bendix. They encounter several interesting characters, and crack jokes about celebrities such as Phil Harris, and Harry Truman. They meet a young woman who claims to be a song writer. Dean sings, Far Away Places.
Still poking around the studios, they pop into the sound stage where the Life of Riley show has just wrapped up. William Bendix jokes around with Jerry about his hair. Dean plugs their upcoming film they’re working on, My Friend Irma. William tries to arrange a salary, lines are flubbed, Jerry spends time explaining a joke, and a settlement is reached.
William wants to stretch his tallent, and play a great lover on the screen. Will he get a role on the show as a romantic lover? Who would believe him in it? Enter the secretary. Inspired, William phones his studio to demand the romantic lead in his next film, the Garbage Collector Murder Case. Jerry lends a hand with securing the ideal part, but I don’t think William is so happy over it.
At home, Dean and Jerry are tucked in, and trying to get some rest, when the peace is disturbed. It’s just the trash man, William Bendix practicing for his part.
