What happens
Gracie Allen writes a sensational magazine article titled "The Secret Love of Loretta Young," and the movie star's attorney demands an explanation and threatens a lawsuit for fifty thousand dollars. Gracie and George Burns, Mrs. and Mr. Burns, try to talk their way out of the trouble while Gracie's tall tales about her own husband pile up. Bill Goodwin is the announcer, and Meredith Willson conducts the orchestra. Burns and Allen is a radio comedy series, and this episode was originally broadcast on November 23, 1943.

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.
