About This Broadcast

On Thanksgiving, Abbott invites Lou to dinner but quickly regrets it as Lou, his brother Sebastian and the regular cast turn the preparations into chaos. The show runs through turkey, stuffing, formal seating and kitchen jokes, with Connie Haines and the orchestra providing music. Lou's heavily seasoned stuffing becomes the final gag when he admits even he cannot get close enough to taste it.
