Dennis opens with a personal message for his alma mater, and in honor he sings, Manhattan Men. After the opening commercial, the set up is told. Few people make it to prominence to be noteworthy in the newspaper, but Dennis has managed it. Dennis gets his picture in the paper because of his pedestrian habits. He’s the poster boy for what not to do in a safety campaign.

Mildred notices that they used the wrong photo. Later, Mrs Anderson gets dinner ready, and Mr Anderson talks about the top news items. Great Scot! He sees a picture of Dennis, but it got mixed up with the story of a man who is thought to be a long lost wealthy heir, who is suffering from amnesia. The Andersons are bent on trying to get Dennis to remember that he is that heir, especially when there’s a reward for reconnecting the missing man with his rich family. Maybe it works like in the movies, and Mrs Anderson is too willing to give Dennis a thump on the head.

Dennis sings his latest Victor recording, Streets of Larado.

Meanwhile at the shop where Dennis works, Dennis shares with his boss about how confused he is feeling. Is the memory loss treatment from the Andersons getting to him? His boss is a little confused over the matter as well.

Dennis goes to psychiatrist, Frank Nelson, and tells what he remembers of his childhood. Might Dennis be crazy? He takes a word association test. Then subjects himself to hypnotism. Will the mind control work? Will he now be a swanky playboy?

At home, Dennis certainly seems changed, and even a little over confident and cocky. Is he now too much a ladies man for Mildred’s tastes? When Mildred smacks him, and that movie treatment for amnesia returns Dennis to his senses. Dennis is upset over his behavior and wants to go and give that psychiatrist a good chewing out. Mr Anderson wants to go too, but he wants a hypnotism treatment.

To wrap up, Dennis sings, So In Love.

PS: Somehow this show, and the previous one from Dennis Day got mislabled. They both have the same date, but I didn’t catch it in time, so on the web site and podcast the titles are nearly the same. The file downloads actually are mislabled, and are the opposite shows for the way they are named. Oopsie. Sorry for not noticing sooner. It should clear from the show notes which are which.
