Don announces that Don Juan, that answer to a maiden's prayer... Jack Benny. Is there an ulterior motive for the image of a lady's man? Phil enters to talk about sophisticated, blaze, women... er... make that blasé women. Mary is critical of the class of women that Jack has allegedly been dating. Even Kenny enters with woman trouble of his own. Jack gets right to announcing the play, but is interrupted as the cast challenge him for not announcing the play last week. Instead of dwarves, the guys will be gangsters, and Jack calls attention to the fact that Walt Disney is in the audience tonight. Kenny Baker sings, One Song.
