The Jack Benny Program: Don introduces Jack wrapped as a gift to the television audience, unwrapped by two beautiful dancers, but the box is empty; Jack is afraid of the dark. Jack spends the program answering requests from viewers. One viewer asks that Dennis sing 'Love in bloom,' but Dennis doesn't know it. Another asks that Jack give Harlow a break, so Jack lets Harlow do his imitation of Sophie Tucker for the State Farm commercial. Another asks that Jack put her husband's wild animal act on; he is eaten by his lion. Instead of having Jackie Gleason back, as requested, Jack does an impersonation of him; Dennis does Crazy Guggenheim. Then Benny announces he is going to do his impersonation of Danny Kaye, and Danny Kaye appears. The last request is that Jack play one classical number on his violin straight through without jokes, but the lion drives him off the stage.
