The story of Damon Runyon's race track tout, spiced with Bob's ad libs. Bob tries to crack up John Milton Kennedy during a commercial but Kennedy muscles through, despite the audience giggles. After the story, Marilyn Maxwell misreads a line. Bob ad libs and cracks up the audience. William Keighly ad libs right back, but doesn't get a laugh! The closing credits and final commercial have been deleted.
