What happens
Abbott and Costello run a matrimonial bureau in Hollywood, a business plan that Costello proposes after a party and a wedding he attends. Their first clients are a string of odd customers, including a woman who has been widowed several times and a cousin who wants to marry Costello. Susan Miller appears and stays in the story as Costello's romantic interest. The show is the Abbott and Costello Show, broadcast on ABC from Hollywood, and its original air date is April 21, 1948, with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in the lead roles. Susan Miller and Matty Malneck's orchestra also feature. The episode is a comedy built on Costello's misunderstandings and Abbott's schemes.

Listen for: Costello's mangled understanding of marriage terms and the business scheme with the matrimonial bureau.
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.
