What happens
Lou Costello and Bud Abbott argue about whether marriage is worth it, and their talk turns to Ken Niles and his wife. Costello is pushed into a mock courtship lesson, then finds himself hurried toward a wedding by Judy Canova and her father, who have chosen him as her husband. The series is Abbott and Costello, first broadcast on January 6, 1944 on NBC and ABC, with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in the leading roles and Judy Canova and Connie Haines as guests. Much of the episode is a comic back-and-forth in the Abbott and Costello style, with Costello trying to avoid the marriage plans throughout.
A radio studio and the Abbott and Costello program, with comic scenes set in the studio and in an automobile on the way to a preacher's house.
Characters: Lou Costello, Bud Abbott, Ken Niles, Judy Canova, Connie Haines, Peter Lorre
Listen for: Costello's protests as Judy Canova's father and daughter try to force a wedding on him.
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.
