Elsie Trellafas Is Suing George

George and Garcie start the show with a comedy bit about Irene Dunne. Meanwhile, Elsie has filed a lawsuit against George for $10,000 or possibly even more money. She's taking him to court because he had told her he would get her a spot on the radio, but he didn't follow through on that promise.
