Short summary
After many years of claiming to be perpetually 39 years old, Jack Benny celebrates his 40th birthday. Rochester is out sick and is replaced by Andy Devine as Jack's butler Andy. As Jack notes, the voice is the same. At the end, Jack remarks, "If I'd known it was going to be like this, I would have had it sooner."
Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson could not attend the celebration due to illness. His part in the comedy sketches was performed by Andy Devine.
