What happens
George Burns tries to leave the studio early, complaining of illness, while Gracie Allen keeps making a mess of his coat and his plans. George has a date with a girl named Fifi and insists he must visit his doctor, but Gracie keeps delaying him with sewing mishaps and mixed-up phone calls. The episode is part of the Burns and Allen series, which aired on October 28, 1940, on CBS and NBC Radio, with Gracie Allen and Bea Benaderet among the cast.
A radio studio and the Burns household during a broadcast, with Hollywood as the program's home base.
Characters: George Burns, Gracie Allen, Fifi, Charlie, Artie Shaw, Bud Easton
Listen for: George's repeated attempts to leave the studio, and Gracie's sewing of his torn coat.
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.
