What happens
Archie returns to Duffy's Tavern after a stay in Bellevue Hospital, and the regulars plan a welcome-home party for him. Ed Gardner stars as Archie, with Shirley Booth and Charlie Cantor in the cast. Duffy's Tavern is a radio comedy series, and this episode first aired on February 22, 1946. The tavern staff argue about the food and the party arrangements, and Archie's recent operation becomes a running joke. Archie speaks about his time in the hospital and what he has learned about money and friendship, while the gang gathers to honor him.

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.
