The episode is a flashback centered around the 24th anniversary of Dennis Day working for Jack Benny. An irate Jack decides to recount his (fictionalized and comedic) version of how he discovered the singer to the audience, while passing over agents' offers for other tenors like Frank Sinatra (whom he dismisses as "too skinny") and Bing Crosby ("too bu-bu-ba-boo"). The story follows Jack's persistent, albeit comical, search for the "unknown Irish tenor" after hearing his demo record. His pursuit takes him to various places where Dennis worked briefly before being fired, including a fish market and an ice cream store. Jack finally tracks him down working in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, where he hires him.
