What happens
Lou Costello plans a Thanksgiving dinner and raises a pet turkey named Ingrid, who becomes the center of a feud with his friend Bud Abbott. When Costello refuses to cook Ingrid, Abbott threatens to leave, and the argument spreads to the neighbors, including Jane Wyman, whose radishes are eaten. The story turns to a search for the missing turkey, with Costello and Abbott going door to door and enlisting a policeman named O'Rourke. Abbott and Costello are the stars of the Camel-sponsored series, and this episode aired on November 25, 1943, on NBC and ABC.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
