What happens
Gracie Allen's Beverly Hills Uplift Society is holding its first meeting of the season, and George Burns is determined to break it up before he has breakfast. Gracie's club members are gossiping and arguing, and George keeps going in and out of the library while trying to get rid of them.

The episode is a 1942 installment of the Burns and Allen radio series, first broadcast on October 20, 1942 over CBS and NBC, with Gracie Allen and George Burns in the leading roles.

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.
