Jack Benny – Jack Tries To Break His Contract With The Sportsmen. ep594, 461103

A black and white photograph of Jack Benny, a man in a suit and tie, standing against a plain background. He is looking off to the side with a slight smile on his face, and his hands are clasped in front of him. Benny was a comedian and actor, best known for his radio and television shows in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The photograph conveys a sense of classic Hollywood glamour and style, with Benny's sharp features and piercing blue eyes on prominent display.

In flashback again, we look in at Jack’s house as he talks about the aftermath of Halloween pranks. Jack has called the cast together with good news from the sponsor. To counter balance it, Dennis has horrible news about his uncle and a steam roller. Jack pokes fun at the events that transpired the night before at the cast Halloween party. Costumes, prizes, and more weird fun. Secrets emerge about at least one Halloween prank, then Dennis sings, Rumors Are Flying.

The sponsor agent is due to arrive at any moment, and Jack prepares the crew for a publicity photo. However, Jack gets the troubling news that the photographer wants a picture of the Sportsmen instead. Jack storms out, and has Rochester drive him to see his lawyer. Along the way, Jack is intrigued by the conversation a couple of old ladies have who are fans of the show.

Frank Nelson is the lawyer who can’t remember names. The busy lawyer has his cases confused, and deals with a couple who have a marriage on the rocks, a law suit to win a large sum of money, and of course Jack’s case to get out of his contract with the Sportsmen. I have a feeling that a mix up is brewing. Will Jack end up with a law suit against him, or involved in the divorce case? In a twist ending he finds himself stuck with the Sportsmen. Can you say, “Who’s your daddy?” Never mind, just listen in to see what I mean.
