Burns and Allen – Gracie’s Murder Mystery. 380110.

Burns and Allen comedy duo performing on stage

Sponsored by Grape Nuts. George and Gracie talk about going dancing, and being on their best behavior. The conversation moves to Gracie’s uncle, and his living arrangements. Bandleader, Ray Noble and the rest of the cast join the jokes about George’s film career.

Tony Martin sings, When the Organ Plays.

George and Gracie compliment the song, and drift to talking about the Arts, and fan mail. Tony Martin is said to only have one, from his wife at the time, Alice Faye.

The fan mail is delivered by a guy claiming to be Tony Martin’s secretary, and Gracie tries to figure where she saw the man before.

Ray Noble plays a tune. Then George and Gracie return so she can talk about her mystery story. Gracie describes the action, to George’s annoyance, as she assigns parts to the cast. With all the elaborate story details, there’s not much left to do, and no actual drama is played out.

Gracie closes in song, Da Bir Mis Du Shane.
