Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (07) Wagon-Lit Office in Paris
"Abroad with the Lockharts 1930-xx-xx (07) Wagon-Lit Office in Paris" is the seventh episode of the 1930s CBS radio comedy series. After crossing the English Channel in episode six, the Lockharts—our accident-prone American couple—find themselves in Paris, likely at the office of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, the company behind luxury sleeper trains like the Orient Express. This episode probably centers on their attempt to book a train journey, setting up a classic fish-out-of-water scenario: the Lockharts mangling French, misunderstanding ticket agents, or balking at the opulence (and cost) of a wagon-lit berth.
The humor would hinge on 1930s American stereotypes of Paris—snooty locals, language barriers, and the couple’s wide-eyed awe or confusion. Maybe they mix up destinations or end up on the wrong platform. The Wagon-Lit tie-in suggests they’re gearing up for more European adventures, with the train as their next comedic stage.
