Jack brags to Don about his latest film appearance and the brilliant performance he gave in The Big Broadcast of 1937. However, Mary quickly chimes in with her own opinion, spilling a few secrets about Jack’s true acting talent. Kenny arrives next, causing Jack to get flustered and nearly miss his line. Just as Jack is feeling down over the harsh reality check, he gets a morale boost when his dad phones in.
Phil Harris plays “A Night in Manhattan” and lightheartedly jokes with Jack about his movie performance. Following a quick recap of last week’s dramatic cliffhanger, Kenny Baker sings “When Did You Leave Heaven?”
In the continuation of our parody, Anthony Adverse (Jack Benny) has found his fortune as a rubber plantation owner, only to realize the jungle life isn’t for him. Realizing he’s dying, Anthony is rescued by “Jack Buck” (a spoof on famous big-game hunter Frank Buck) and sails back to Italy to reunite with his wife. But the journey doesn’t end there—Anthony has to chase his wife, a famous opera star, all the way to Paris! Packed with pop-culture humor of the era, Anthony must try to win back Angela’s heart from her new lover, Napoleon… if he can.
