56 12 02 The Jack Benny Program S 07e 06 Jack Locked In The Tower Of London

1956

In the first of four episodes filmed on location in Europe, Jack and Mary visit London. Jack has a major reaction to the monetary exchange rate. The twosome take a tour of the Tower of London. Jack is so entranced by the collection of Crown Jewels on display that he's left behind by the group and locked in the Tower for the night. Benny dreams he's back in the 16th century and a vengeful Henry VIII has mistaken him for a musician named Smeaton who's Ann Boleyn's lover. Believing Jack is that cad, the king plans to get his revenge on Jack in his elaborate torture chamber. Benny rallies to the occasion and single-handedly defeats a group of guards and wins a sword fight. Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else.
