What happens
Gracie Allen worries that two women are plotting to take her husband George Burns away, after a magazine article claims there are three women for every man in the country. Burns and Allen, the comedy series, aired on September 7, 1943, on CBS and NBC Radio, with Gracie Allen and George Burns in the leads. Gracie decides to pick out George's rivals herself, so she can be sure they pose no threat. Her plan involves arranged visits from several women, a matrimonial agency, and a scheme to draw George out of the house. The episode is a comedy of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, and it closes with Swan soap advertising. The transcript covers only the opening part of the episode.

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.
