Synopsis
This is the TV debut of Jack's traditional Christmas shopping radio show. Jack and Rochester go looking for gifts at a department store. Jack harasses clerk Mel Blanc, repeatedly have him re-wrap the wallet he bought for Don because he wants to change the card inside. After changing it one too many times, Blanc, now a wreck, loads a pistol and shoots himself. Jack has several arguments with surly floorwalker Frank Nelson, especially after smashing a new "unbreakable" watch with a hammer. He buys lingerie from a clerk too unnerved by nighties to touch them with his bare hands. Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else. Any comments or corrections are gladly accepted.
