What happens
Gracie Allen and George Burns are upset after strangers at the park mistake George for Gracie's father on Father's Day.

She then looks into other ways to change his image, including baseball and dancing lessons, while their neighbor Harry Bonsell offers advice of his own.

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.
