Uncle Gildersleeve grows irritable and unpleasant at home, and his nephews Leroy and Clarence suspect he simply lacks romance in his life. They pick Amelia Hooker, the judge's sister, to win his interest. Gildy courts her with a picnic, poetry and an evening stroll, but her brother Judge Hooker disapproves and interferes at every turn. The episode is from the series The Great Gildersleeve, first broadcast on NBC on June 28, 1942, with Harold Peary in the title role and Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle in the cast.

With craft dinner, you get fluffy tender macaroni, drenched in cheese goodness, and you cook it in seven
minutes flat. See for yourself tomorrow. Ask your food dealer for craft dinner. And now let's visit our friend, the great gilder sleeve, who's been long noted for his easy going disposition. In fact, his disposition was so easy going and finally went. Uncle Mort's face has been getting longer in his temper shorter, and he's starting to throw
his weight around with unpleasant results everywhere it's landed. Oh my goodness, Marjorie, I'm late to the office again. Oh, well, I'm alone. Good morning. All right, am I supposed to starve around here? Where's breakfast?
