George and Gracie go to see an Alan Ladd movie, and Gracie is smitten. When this makes George jealous, Ladd shows up in person.
George makes a reference during the movie to Vox Pop, which was a popular radio show with man-in-the-street interviews and quizzes. The title comes from the latin phrase "vox populi". Mel Blanc's downcast mailman makes another appearance; the character was a takeoff on Bill Thompson's Wallace Whimple character from Fibber McGee and Molly.
This episode starts with a wartime plea from Gracie to conserve paper. Even toward the end of the war, there was a strong focus on conservation and the homefront war effort.
