Burns and Allen – George The Plumber 1944

January 11, 2017Posted inBurns and Allen, Comedy
A production for a studio of soldiers, and likely for airing over AFRS, since the commercials are missing, and extra music is added throughout the show. George politely complains about the new maid. Mrs Regan may be a good enough cook, and family servant, but he's getting tired of having chowder all the time, especially for breakfast. Bill enters to hear about how George was offended at Gracie defending Mrs Regan. Will it end up in a sponsor message? Will Gracie be able to snap George out of his mood?

Performing live for troops at Terminal Island. We first look in at the office of a Hollywood producer, and Ida Lupino complaining about the part in a play. Elsewhere, Gracie admires her big, strong, dream man, George. Is she buttering him up to soften the blow about a fender bender she kinda had in the car? Will she be giving away any secrets when Ida arrives to ask for advice in being a housewife? Gracie gives a talk on the birds and the bees. Bill Goodwin shows up to help with the advanced training for Ida. That means he's going to lay on the sponsor message.
