"Edward, My Son" is actually a 1947 play by Noel Langley and Robert Morley, which was adapted into a 1949 film starring Spencer Tracy and Deborah Kerr. The story revolves around a man who indulges his son Edward's every whim, only to see him grow up to be a disappointment. Given the date and title, it's likely that the episode of "The Jack Benny Program" from September 18, 1949, was a comedic take on this dramatic story
