Luigi Vasco, a new immigrant running an antique shop in Chicago, is short of money and must pay $200 on delivery for an antique mirror his cousin Salvador has shipped from Boston. He tries to resell the mirror to Mrs. Dittson at a profit, but the expected sale depends on the delivery arriving on time. Luigi approaches his neighbor Pasquale for a loan while his young assistant Jimmy O'Connor keeps the shop running. This is the premiere of the comedy series Life with Luigi, broadcast from Chicago in December 1948, starring Jay Carroll Naish as Luigi with Alan Reed as Pasquale.
With Luigi Vasco, Jimmy O'Connor, Pasquale, Mrs. Dittson, Salvador, Rosie.
