A black and white photograph of Abbott and Costello posing together. Abbott is on the left and has a slicked-back hairstyle and is looking to his right with a slight smile, while Costello on the right has a rounder face and is looking toward Abbott with a subtle grin. Both men are wearing plaid suits with shirts and ties. The background is plain, focusing attention on their expressions and attire.

Lou talks to Bud about running for public office. The guys talk at length about art, artists, girls, dating, and the like. Susan Miller enters to complain to Lou about her introduction, and about Lou dating someone else. Lou shows off a little talent with a guest who does a vaudeville style act.

Susan Miller sings, Rings on My Fingers Bells on My Toes. Bud and Lou return to think up new ideas for the program when Benny Reuben visits. Benny suggests that maybe audience participation might spruce up the show. A Southern Belle from the audience shares about herself, then is to answer a question from Bud.

Bud and Lou plug their new quiz show to win prizes.
