 This is that famous year when lovely ladies get a break. In other words, it's Leap Year. Well, forgive me ladies, just this once if I hand out a tip to the bachelor. And that is, look before you leap boys, look into the important matter of food. And if you can't make breakfast and can't make fries, just be sure he does know about jello. For a shimmering mold of glowing jello has saved many a meal. That's because jello tastes so good, full of extra-rich fruit flavor, real fruit flavor, as refreshing and appetizing as fresh light fruit. That fruit goodness is seen right in its full bodies and satisfied. But just remember, you won't find it in any other jello than dessert. No other has jello's much as extra-rich flavor. There is only one jello and only jello tastes twice as good as ever before. Ladies and gentlemen, I am terribly sorry to announce that Mary Livingston will be unable to appear on the nice program owing to a very subtle attack of laryngitis, which has resulted in the complete loss of her voice. But she will be with us again next Sunday night. Oh, Kimmy, I didn't see Johnny leading the office. Where is he? I don't know, John. I don't see Jack around either. Well, it's a fine state of affairs. I wonder what should have happened to him? I thought I'm getting too far about an hour ago. Hope they didn't meet with an accident. Maybe that's them. Hello. Well, hello, Jack. Where are you? There you are. Well, how did it happen? Well, don't worry. We'll come right over. What's the matter, John? Well, Jack and Johnny were arrested for speeding and knocking over a telegraph pole. See, isn't that awesome? Hey, uh, otherwise, uh, tune in to County Jail and see if you can pick up Jack very please. Okay. Hey, you are cell number six. Shut up. All right. Say, what are you in for, buddy? I'm the keeper here. Oh, pardon me. Hey, what do you get the easier? Bread and water. What? No jello? The fine jail. Hey, Johnny, where are you? Opposite. Oh, you couldn't get a lower, huh? Why have you mugged? All right. Who do you think he's talking to? What a jail. I feel like a quarter in Don Wilson's pocket. I'll never get out. This way, miss. Here's the guy you want. Okay, I just need to make a snappy. Well, it's Mary's sister. Hello, Mamie. What happened to Mary? She's got arms out of Jack, and she says, Well, we left Johnny's house driving to the studio, and we were only going 72 miles an hour. He and they can't put you in jail for that. They can't? Where do you think I am in Bermuda? I thought you had a flight accident. I ran into a telegraph pole. Hey, this is a nice room you've got, Jack. Can you have to take a leave? Yeah, it's yeah. Where's Johnny's room? In the next cell. Oh, Johnny. Where's Johnny's room? In the next cell. Oh, Johnny. Here's Mary's sister. You remember Mamie? Oh, sure. Hello, Mamie. Hello, Johnny. What are you laughing at? You look at Johnny's hair cut. It reminds me of a popular song. Well, what do you mean? It's round and round. Oh, it's round and round. That's fine. Say, Mamie, can't you do something to get us out? I don't want to stay here all night. Yeah, I don't know anybody. I know one of the biggest politicians in town. He's a great friend of mine and he'll get you out of no time. Where's the phone? There's one over in the corner there with a ball and cane on it. Okay. Yeah, I hope you can do something, Johnny. Who are you? Hello, Operator. Captain Michigan 4099. Yes. He is as nice as Mary to send her over. I'll say. Hello, is this your man? This is Mamie. This is Johnny. It's a man. Who's to go after you left the road last night? Oh, did you? No. No. Yes. Yes. No. Get to the point, Mamie. What's that? Oh, sure. I'll be glad to see you next Friday night. Thanks, Mac. Well, I'm Mamie. I thought you were going to fix it for me. Oh, gee, I forgot to ask him. Oh. But don't worry. I've got a date for the next time. Well, there you go, fella. Now, go quick and make it snappy. Oh, hello, Kenny. Hello, Jan. Yeah, I'm sorry to see you here. Me too. There's Johnny in the next cell. So, Kenny, you look very like Andrew. Can't you do something for us? Sure. I know the biggest politician in town. Where's the phone? Say that. I heard you were going to be here a long time, so I thought you were probably an Anthony Adler. Anthony Adler? Thanks, Kenny. You see, Jack, you think you have bad luck? Anthony, at first. Mmm. You should have had laryngitis instead of marriage. Well, I'm just trying to cure you up, you little country. Excuse me. I want to see Jack's wedding and try to breathe. There they are. Now, make it snappy. Oh, hello, John. Yeah, I'm glad you dropped over. Uh, I don't see you, Jack. Where are you? Right here in cell 6. Well, don't forget the jello. Cell 6, delicious flavors. Barberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. Even in jail, I get that. Oh, John, can't you do something for us? Certainly, Jack. I've made arrangements with the judge so that you can broadcast from here for your next two options. That's fine. Where's the microphone? Right here. Well, give it to me. Stand by, Kenny. Well, hello, folks. This is the jail-hole program. And Kenny Baker will now sing Little Rose of the Rancho from the molten picture, Rose of the Rancho. Can you sing, Kenny? What would I say? Here's a plaudi. That was Little Rose of the Rancho sung by Kenny Baker, coming to you from the grill room of the County Jail. That was very nice, Kenny, but you were behind two bars of music. That said, it'd be behind eight bars like you are. Oh. It doesn't get time as well. No, your time is my time. Well, see you later, Jack. We'll see what we can do. That's a long time. Bye, Johnny. Hey, Johnny, there's some awful-looking characters in this jail, aren't there? I'll say. Look at that color fellow over there in the opposite cell. Yeah. I wonder what he did. Hey, son. You calling me? Yeah. How long he in for? I'm here on parole. It's in my home. Hey, you must have done something. What are you in for? Well, they gave me 15 years to drawing money out of a bank with all a bankbook. They did? Yeah. Then they gave me 20 years to stop in the man who tried to stop me. No, kid. Then they gave me seven years for totally no reason without saving me. Hmm. Well, is that all? No. They gave me 30 days more but just being no good. Hey, what's your name? Clarence New. Clarence New? Hey! Wait a minute. Listen, I saw you in a picture. Yeah. They gave me 10 more years for that. That's too bad. Our story ends up... Well, so are we. If I was ever in... Oh, Johnny, it isn't so bad. My father and mother will be worried sick. She's the tough spot for me. What tough about her? Sure, we're in trouble. But listen, fellas, all of you stick to it. I can tell you a story I heard the other day that'll make it glad you're living. Jailer knows it. Have you got a minute? Yeah. Well, listen to this. It's one of the fattest stories you've ever heard. There were three lobsters living up in there. A mother lobster, a father lobster, and a baby lobster. He's been feeding and leading a healthy outdoors system. When one day, the baby lobster was caught and taken away from its parents. Well... For 20 years and a half, they've given up hope of ever seeing their baby again. And one day, when they were in Rhode Island visiting some relatives, the father and mother lobster were caught and thrown into the window of a seafood restaurant. When low and beholding, right in front of them, they saw a great big giant lobster. The largest one in the entire window, loafing on a piece of ice. They recognized him immediately as their long-lost son. So they had a great reunion. Finally, the mother lobster said, son, tell me, how's it been all these 20 years you managed to keep out of hot water? But you weren't easy. And the son replied, I'll tell you, ma, I'm the big lobster that the waiter always shows the customer that the customer never gets. Isn't that bad, Johnny? Yes, Jack, that's the worst story I've ever heard. Oh, yes, yes. Just a minute, miss. You can't come in here whenever you please. Okay, but I'm attached to you. Nanny, Nanny, did you do anything? Did you get a lawyer or something? Oh, yes, I know I got something for you. I got the best lawyer in town. Now you're talking. He's a criminal lawyer. He is? Yes, he's just out of jail every day. Well, all right, anybody, for heaven's sake, go and get him. Wait a minute, Jack. Nanny just faced you a nice case and sent it over. Oh, thanks. Say, did anybody see a bunch of keys around? He? Not me. He's living on Honeywood Boulevard. Hey, who's got my keys? I haven't. Well, give me that safe, that'll do. Oh, all right, here. Come on, you guys, get in there. Well, Jack, Jack, that's my officer. It is? See, I knew they'd get in trouble without me. Hey, wait a minute, where's the piano for Johnny? That's going to play too, Jack. Well, what are we waiting for? It's Johnny. Hey, you. What's the idea of going those bars? Oh, pardon me. I'm just killing a little time, that's all. You know, there's really nothing to do around here. If I cause any damage, I'll be glad to pay for it, huh? Oh, yeah? Say, where did you get that store? I gave it to him. I belong to a sewing circle. Oh, thank you. Hey, you, what's the idea of going those bars? Oh, pardon me. I'm just killing a little time, that's all. Oh, thank you. If I had the things of a swallow, there's no problem. No, no, no, no, pardon me. Can you tell me for Jack Benner's parking here? Yeah, here he is in cell number six. Well, well, well, hello, standard. You did this on a train gang, didn't you? Yeah, say, I didn't know you were a lawyer. What else? Here's my card. Here's my card. Yeah, which one are you? Fire and barrel. Oh. Now, baby, say, Benny. Now, please, explain the whole situation. Why did you do it? Well, uh, I was driving my car, and I, uh... You're sitting good. Maybe, will you please go home? Well, you know, that's my idea of what's happening. I run the full diesel. Well, I was driving 72 miles an hour and ran into a telegraph pole. You were going 15 miles an hour and ran into a suitcase, remember that? Well, how do you know? I got three witnesses coming from Chicago. Now, Mr. Benny, the judge will ask you plenty questions, like, for instance, there were you on the night of April 12th at the quarter to five? Well, I don't remember. That's it. But the police will ask you questions about the accident. You don't remember? Listen, I was driving 72 miles an hour and I knocked down a pole. Don't be foolish. You wasn't driving as the pole knocked you down. Yeah, but what is the core truth difference? What's that? Ten dollars extra. But don't worry, I'll get you out of this. I just found that last case. Who was it? A son of a passing-a-scow in front of a hydrant and I got him over ten years. Do me a favor. Will you go over there and defend Johnny Green? Where is he? Right there in the next cell. Oh, oh, you're Johnny Green, I'm presuming. Yes? Well, what did he do? Well, that's out of my line. Now, Mr. Bailey, I already talked to the judge on the way over here and he said he's fine. You borrow three dollars a piece and close the case. Well, then what are you waiting for? Three dollars a piece of ink. He's got to make it two for five or nothing. I'll pay him the six dollars and get it out of here. Let me do the borrowing, please. But sometimes I go there for three months and worry about a case like this. Of course, you know, I got to get my usual container. What do you get? You know, stationary stamps and hinted pencils. Well, here, all I got is five dollars. All right, I'll sue you for the balance. Well, where can I get you if I want you? Go for it. I'm stopping here, too, you know. But please don't worry about anything. Look there, there's a piano over there and I've done the music. Cheer up and play something. Come on, scissors, have a sense at times. Let me do the borrowing. Ho, ho, ho, give it up, Napoleon. And Johnny Green. Johnny, Dad. Where do I know you from? I'm from your magazine. Maybe you're an accordion to down here with me. I will now call the case of Jack Benny and Johnny Green versus the Telegraph Four. That's us. Is your attorney here, Miss Benny? Good morning, Your Honor. If it pleases the courthouse, sit down. It seems that a certain Jack Benny and a certain Johnny Green were driving seventy-two miles an hour and ran into a defenseless Telegraph four. Is the attorney for the four here? He's crazy. Then I will call the first witness, Don Wilson. That sounds familiar. Hello, Your Honor. I am a salesman for Jello, the largest selling gelatin dessert in the world. Are you acquainted with the defendant? Yes, Your Honor. What kind of a fellow is Jack Benny? Well, uh, Judge, I don't know just how to describe him, but if you ever see two men sitting in a café and one of them reaches for the check, the other one is Jack Benny. Who can accept the check? Some Joe. That sounds like one of Mary's, Joe. Yes, he does it to me. Order in the court. Where's Johnny Green? Oh, he went home. I don't blame him. Well, that's all, Mr. Wilson. I will now call the defendant. Mr. Benny takes the stand. Thank you. A funny thing happened to me on the way to the studio. Quiet. Uh-oh. You swear to tell the truth to the whole truth and nothing but the truth to help you? I object. Object is overruled. You swear to tell the truth to the whole truth and nothing but the truth to help you? I don't remember. Is that right, lawyer? Precisely. Were you or were you not stepping on the gas at the rate of 72 miles an hour? I don't remember. You'll have to ask my foot. What do you mean you don't remember? I object. Why do you object to that question, attorney? It's embarrassing to my client. It's unprofessional to me. Thank goodness. Miss Mary Livingston takes the stand. He's got larynxitis. I'm taking your place. What do you want, sourpuss? You swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth, nothing but the truth. You need a new needle, judge. How long have you known the defendant, Jack Benny? I object. How much do you injure him? Now tell me, young lady, what is your occupation? I watch. This is a double for Mary Livingston. Were you or were you not with Jack Benny at a party this afternoon? I object. What right have you to object? He don't remember. Is that, is that right, judge? Precisely. Hey, wait a minute, attorney. Didn't I once send you to San Quentin for grand larceny? You got me done, judge. It's awful warm in here. Pick up the horn. I object. It wouldn't help you. Goodbye. Now, Mr. Benny, didn't you have to leave walking an Illinois in a hurry in 1912? Now I object. Hey, listen, judge, didn't you attend a party in Culver City last night and with a pretty wild affair? I object. And when you got home that night, didn't you try to open your door with a two horn? I object. Oh, you do, eh? And once you've seen the crocodile last Wednesday night with a beautiful blonde? I object. It was Mary. Oh, yes, and I object. Order, order. Order in the court. How much time we got left, judge? Only about three minutes. Are there any more witnesses? Yes, Johnny Green's orchestra. Take the stand, boys. Order. What were you boys doing at that student between the hours of four and five? Tell them, boys. I'll never forget the first bicycle I ever had. I was nine years old and boy did I think that bike was a prize. All nice and shiny and new and painted in great color. Well, that's one thing bicycles and jello have in common. Jello is one of the easiest and speediest desserts you can make. For instance, for a tip-top wintertime dessert, try Jell-Aid Orange dessert. Here's what you do. Cut four oranges into sections, combine with a cup of sugar, and let stand for about ten minutes. Then dissolve a package of delicious fruity orange jello and pour over the Frank oranges. Kill and serve in turbid glass. It's grand, bright and gay and sunny to look at and delicious to eat. And you'll hardly know where the fresh fruit stops until the jello starts, for jello is crammed full of real fruit flavor. Extra rich, twice as good. Just be sure you get the one and only genuine jello. Last number of the 17th program in the New Jello Series and we'll be with you again next Sunday night at the same time. And you'll never forget the delicious fruity orange dessert. See you next Sunday night at the same time. And you know, folks, Mary with her laryngitis has been here all the time listening to this program. How did you like it, Mary? I think it's dog. Now I can. See, I told ya. Good night, folks. Soon you took my breath away as from the picture, Coronado, and got a brand new suit as from the production at Home Abroad. This program has come to you from the new NBC studios in Hollywood. This is a national broadcasting company.
