Dennis Day sings, You Shouldn’t Let Me Dream. As the gang make their way to the train station, Mary reveals the secret of Jack’s generosity. The movie studio is covering expenses. A stop for drugstore supplies finds Jack facing an overly enthusiastic foreign speaking salesman.
Phil Harris plays some travelling music, and the gang arrives at the train station. To see Dennis off, his mother has instructions for Jack to take care of her boy. With the instructions and piling expenses, Jack needs to pay attention or he could miss a train.
