What happens
George Burns and Gracie Allen live in a house where their daily routines are full of playful flattery and schemes. Gracie wants money and a hat, and George wants to keep his household in order. When Gracie borrows the car for an errand, she backs into the Reagans' car and damages the rear bumper, while George later backs his own car into the garage and crumples a fender. Both of them consider how to hide what happened and how to confess it to each other.

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.
