What happens
George Burns is due to be best man at his friend Bob Webster's wedding, and Gracie Allen has been trusted with the wedding ring for safekeeping. After she slips it off her finger while buying a turkey for the Burns' Thanksgiving dinner, the ring is gone and a bird is suspected of having swallowed it. Gracie and George take the turkeys home, and the search for the ring becomes a matter of persuading the bird to give it up. Burns and Allen is a radio comedy series; this episode was first broadcast on November 25, 1948, on CBS and NBC Radio, with Gracie Allen and Bea Benaderet among the cast.
The Burns' home and a turkey farm on Thanksgiving morning, with later scenes at a doctor's office and back at the house.

Listen for: Gracie's mix-up over Mary and Marion, and the attempt to get the swallowed ring back out of the turkey.
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.
