During his monologue, Jack gets a phone call from two Treasury agents who want to meet him at his home in an hour. Jack's sure he's about to be charged with tax evasion, so he leaves the show to Don and races home. The agents are actually from Fort Knox and they've come to study his legendary vault. Jack leads the government men on the dangerous path underground where they encounter his man-eat...

Rochester informs Jack that his Maxwell automobile has been stolen. Unable to phone the Beverly Hills Police Department (because their number is unlisted), Jack goes to the station; the receptionist asks if he has an appointment. The police hounds are French poodles, and the dispatchers play pop records between radio announcements; every time a Lawrence Welk tune plays, a bubble machine turns o...

Special guests: William Holden, Frances Bergen, and Mervyn LeRoy. Jack introduces Holden, Bergen, and LeRoy in the audience, and has Frances come on stage and talk about a film offer she's had. When she tells Jack that the reason he doesn't get drama roles is that he has no sex appeal, he tries to prove her wrong by improvising a lame love scene with her. Holden comes onstage to show Jack how i...

Jack and Rochester are driven to the train station by a cab driver (Mel Blanc) who keeps crying because he can't bear to say goodbye; he even follows Jack inside and buys him candy and flowers. In the station, Jack encounters Mr. Kitzel in a kilt, a young couple who won't stop kissing, a racetrack tout who tells him which train he should take, a PA announcer making ridiculous announcements, and...

Special guests: James Stewart and Gloria Stewart. In his monologue, Jack informs the audience that Jimmy and Gloria Stewart begged him to come to their anniversary party. However, Jimmy is seen explaining to his wife that he couldn't stop Jack from inviting himself.

Special guest: Jackie Gleason. Jack and Rochester are in New York, relaxing in the penthouse suite of the luxurious St. Regis Hotel. They're staying free, masquerading as painters; whenever the doorbell rings, they put on painters' caps and toss drop cloths around the room. Jack's awaiting Jackie Gleason for a business meeting. Before Gleason enters the room, the June Taylor Dancers prance in a...

Jack, Rochester, and Polly the parrot head to Palm Springs for vacation. Upon arrival, Jack heads straight for the pool and jumps off the diving board, unaware that the pool's been drained for cleaning. Jack spends the rest of his vacation in bed, putting up with the hotel doctor (Frank Nelson) and comments from Rochester, Mary, and Don.

A writer visits Jack at home and hears the story of how Jack found Mary Livingstone in the fall of 1932: A brash, young Jack goes into the May Company department store to buy a shirt when hosiery counter clerk Mary catches his eye. He flirts shamelessly with Mary while she and her co-worker Sally give him a hard time. Finally, she agrees to meet Jack that evening for dinner, and the rest is his...

Jack tells his guest Sarah how he met Rochester: Jack was making his big move from New York to Hollywood, and Rochester, who was a porter on the train Jack was taking, discovered that Jack was smuggling Don and Dennis in his berth. Rochester promised to keep it quiet, but the conductor found out and fired Rochester on the spot; feeling badly about this, Jack offered him a job as his butler and ...

Jack relies on Rochester, his toughest critic, to give him an honest evaluation of the show, but when Rochester accidentally sleeps through the program, he tries to cover up with evasive answers to Jack's questions. At first Jack is angry when he discovers the truth, but later he sees Rochester packing and is afraid that he's leaving (unaware that Rochester is simply getting ready for a camping...

After Dennis sings "The Yellow Rose of Texas", Jack flashes back to the previous day: Jack is about to start a new season, and everyone is badgering him with suggestions and demands, such as Don Wilson's wife insisting that Jack stop making jokes about Don's weight. When Jack drops by Dennis Day's house to discuss a song, Dennis' mother (Verna Felton) starts saying that Jack isn't giving her so...

Special guest: Dore Schary. Jack opens a business office in Beverly Hills, and cuts expenses by sharing the suite with an interior decorator and hiring a surly drugstore waitress as a receptionist. Dore Schary, the head of MGM, comes to talk to Jack about a movie role, but Jack's not thrilled with the part or the money. Dore makes an offer to the decorator instead.

Preparing for his European vacation, Jack is at the passport office. He get shuffled from window to window; his picture is taken by Mel Blanc, who hands everyone the same photo of Rock Hudson; and he encounters bureaucrat Frank Nelson, who's not wearing any pants. Everyone gives Jack a dirty look when he repeatedly claims to be 39.
