Plot
In this spoof of "The Jack Benny Program", a mouse with 'Jack Benny' (qv)'s personality and poor violin playing ability lives, along with a mouse version of Benny's valet, 'Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson' (qv), in a hole in a wall of Jack Benny's own home. Jack the rodent takes a mouse version of 'Mary Livingstone (I)' out to dinner, and the two unwittingly walk right into the disguised mouth of an orange cat!

Now bring it here.::Rochester: Oh, okay, Boss.::Jack: It's Miss Livingston's birthday, and I'm taking her out.::[Jack puts on the jacket and a blue bow tie]::Rochester: Mmm mmm! What that tie does for those baby blue eyes.::Jack: [Looking in a mirror] They are nice, aren't they?
The Maxwell: Halt! Who goes there?::Jack: It's me, Ed.::The Maxwell: Oh, hello, Mr. Benny. How are things on the outside? We win the war yet?::Jack: Oh, uh... yes. Yes, we did.::The Maxwell: That's good. What do you think they'll do with the Kaiser?

Can't I just...::Jack: No.::Don: Oh, gee whiz! You never let me do anything I want to! [Leaves]::Jack: Don's such a ham.
Jack: Help! Help!::[Jack Benny then woke up, from his dream]::Jack: Gee, what a crazy dream. Imagine, Mary and me, as two little mice, trapped inside a cat. And I was playing the violin.::[after waking up, he hears a bad violin rendition of Rock-A-Bye Baby, that came from inside his sleeping cat. Then, he sees the same two figures of mice, of Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, that were in his dream, as they were crawling out, escaping from his sleeping cat. Benny then turned to the audience, with one of his most-popular trademark takes, as the cartoon concluded and closing credits begin]
Mary: Where's Mr. Benny?::Rochester: Down in the cheese vault, counting out his cheese.::Mary: Oh, no. Not again?
Mary: I just love cheese. Really I do.
Plot
James Gleason drops by to visit Ralph Staub at the Columbia lot and Staub, as he was inclined to do, pulls out a few reels of World War II "Screen Snapshots", and he and Gleason reminisce about the footage, while the camera turns and, presto, yet another Screen Snapshots entry comprised of about 90% stock footage. This one shows movie-and-radio stars and names around Hollywood entertaining the troops at various California Army/Navy/Marine camps. Faces seen and voices heard (again) include Carole Landis, Groucho Marx and Jack Benny.

Plot
Freddy Martin and his band go on a trailer vacation, taking along Rochester as a handy man. They run out of gas in a ghost town and have to spend the night in the deserted Palace Hotel. The next morning, Ann Crawford and her three friends, Josie, Billie and May, arrive as Ann has inherited the hotel and most of the surrounding property, and she and her friends have pooled their savings to pay off the debts and formed a company to run the hotel. Jimmie Ross, singer with the band, decides to help the girls and has the hotel done over at his expense. Rochester, digging in the Victory Garden he has started, finds a gold nugget and the rush is on. Gangster Pete Hartley and his henchmen move in with intentions of taking over. He succeeds, over Ann's protests, in buying the property from her friends. Jimmie returns and thinks Ann has double-crossed him and they quarrel and part. Jimmie discovers that Rochester's gold nugget was his own gold inlay. Later, back on the radio with Freddie's band, Jimmie sings a song especially to Ann, who he hopes is listening.

Plot
Radio star Jack Benny, intending to stay in New York for the summer, is forced by the needling of rival Fred Allen to prove his boasts about roughing it on his (fictitious) Nevada ranch. Meanwhile, singer Joan Cameron, whom Jack's fallen for and offended, is maneuvered by her sisters to the same Nevada town. Jack's losing battle to prove his manhood to Joan means broad slapstick burlesque of Western cliches.

[last lines]::Rochester: Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
Plot

Ted Nash: Bob, you're shaking like a leaf.::Bob Temple: Shaking like a leaf! What's a leaf got to shake about?
Plot
Larson E. Whipsnade runs a seedy circus which is perpetually in debt. His performers give him nothing but trouble, especially Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Meanwhile, Whipsnade's son and daughter, Phineas and Vicky, attend a posh college. Vicky turns down her caddish but rich suitor Roger Bel-Goodie, but changes her mind when she learns of her father's financial troubles. Will Vicky marry for money or succumb to the ventriloqual charm of Edgar Bergen? Will Whipsnade's Circus Giganticus make it over the state line one jump ahead of the sheriff?

Whipsnade: I'm taking on the personality of a Mexican jumping bean. First the contortionist gets rheumatism. Then the sword-swallower gets tonsilitis. Hope nothing happens to that fan dancer... not 'til I get rid of this cold, anyway.
Whipsnade: You kids are disgusting! Standing around here all day, reeking of popcorn and lollipops.
Whipsnade: [sings in shower] I'd rather have two girls / At twenty-one each / Than one girl at forty-two!
Man: There's been a mistake in my change.::Whipsnade: Ah, at long last, an honest man. Want to return some money?::Man: No, I'm short!::Whipsnade: Don't brag about it. I'm only five-feet-eight myself.
Whipsnade: As my dear old grandfather Litvak said (just before they swung the trap), he said "You can't cheat an honest man. Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump."
Charlie McCarthy: Are you eating a tomato or is that your nose?
Edgar Bergen: I've got a good mind to...::Charlie McCarthy: Why don't you use it?
Whipsnade: Never trust a ventriloquist or a barber.
Charlie McCarthy: Oop, I dropped something. Hope it didn't hit anybody. Except one.
Whipsnade: [to Charlie] I shall send over a couple of pet beavers to romp with you.

Rochester is a city in Monroe County, New York, south of Lake Ontario in the United States. Known as The World's Image Centre, it was also once known as The Flour City, and more recently as The Flower City. It is the county seat for Monroe County.
Rochester's city population according to the 2010 census is approximately 210,565, making it New York's third most populous city after New York City and Buffalo. It is at the center of a larger Metropolitan Area which encompasses and extends beyond Monroe County and includes Genesee County, Livingston County, Ontario County, Orleans County and Wayne County. This area, which is part of the Western New York region, had a population of 1,054,323 people at the time of the 2010 Census. As of July, 2011, the Census estimates indicated that this population rose to 1,055,278 .
Rochester was one of America's first "boomtowns" and rose to prominence initially as the site of many flour mills located on the Genesee River, then as a major manufacturing hub. Rochester is now an international center of higher education, as well as medical and technological development. The region is known for many acclaimed universities, and several of them (notably the University of Rochester and the Rochester Institute of Technology) are nationally renowned for their research programs. In addition, Rochester has been and continues to be the site of many important inventions and innovations in consumer products. The Rochester area is currently home to corporations such as Kodak, Bausch & Lomb and Xerox that conduct extensive research and manufacturing in the fields of industrial and consumer products. The Rochester metropolitan area is the second largest regional economy in New York State according to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, after the New York City metropolitan area.
i was born in rochester to a book making man
had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
see them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
the police chief and tom hall wondering what was the spread
i carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
learned that any soft place wasn't good for me at all
daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release
he'd beat the hell of timmy and timmy'd beat the hell out of me
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
the same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
took everyone of his suits and all my dignity
i'd walk the halls of irodiquie looking for any punk to set me free
i would hop the fence out to those government fields
run till there was nothing left to feel
lying there watching just disappear
knowing one day i'm gonna fly on out of here
got that call to vietnam just like everyone else i knew
so scared of the hand grenades through them farther then any other troop
came home like an iron fist and timmy tried to take my keys
ripped open his from pocket that was the last time he touched me
moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge
met a mermaid on a glass boat and she promised me some kids
bought a house in oregon where you could touch both of the walls
had a son named benjamin and i was so scared of it all
well benjamin walked in the front room where i was cutting up my hash
looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why i'd been so mad
flushed a quarter pound down the drain praying for the mercy to confess
trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest
were gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
run like there was no more time to steal
my three boys and the grace of god revealed
knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
