What happens
Abbott and Costello, the comedy team, run through a set of routines around the income tax deadline of March 15. Costello tries to work out the tax on his money, and Abbott tries to explain his brother's job at the bank. Costello takes advice from a tax accountant, who tells him that he owes little if he earns nothing more before the deadline. Costello then tries to give away his money, first through a raffle and then to a series of strangers. The episode is a 1947 broadcast of the Abbott and Costello series, aired on NBC and ABC, with Bud Abbott and Joe Kirk among the cast.

Listen for: Costello's attempts to get rid of his money before the March 15 tax deadline, and the many confused exchanges between Abbott and Costello.
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.
