So, it's ...

For most of the program's time on the air, Dennis Day played a soda jerk who sang as he worked. His character was naive, innocent, and prone to making wisecracks, much like the character Day played on The Jack Benny Program.

Plots often derived from problems with his girlfriend and her parents. Before the show ended, it changed to a variety format.
