America's funniest cheapskate appears in four episodes featuring musical performances and celebrity guests. Join the always beleaguered Benny and featured regulars Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and Mary Livingston in a series of side-splitting comic situations.

EPISODE 1 Dorothy Shay Show
Jack can barely get through the opening monologue when he is rudely interrupted, twice. First when Bob Crosby decides to sing a song just as Benny is in the middle of telling a joke and by a talkative taxi cab driver, Mel Blanc.

EPISODES 2 Goldie, Fields & Glide
Jack reminisces about his old vaudeville days when he toured with his musical partners, George Burns and Bing Crosby. The team - billed as Goldie, Fields and Glide - has a brief reunion and Bob Hope pops up in a surprise cameo appearance.

EPISODE 3 Lunch Counter Murder
Jack plays a frightened manager of a roadside hamburger joint that is invaded by a gang of gangsters. Guest star Dan Duryea is a scar-face tough guy who eats sardines - tin can, and all. Even Dennis Day acts like a tough guy.

EPISODE 4 Jack Rents His House
Jack is getting ready to open a new show on Broadway. He rents his Beverly Hills home for the months he'll be gone. He neglects to tell the renters about the fish he keeps in the swimming pool or how he gets his electricity from tapping into a traffic light down the street.
