What happens
Archie, the wisecracking manager of Duffy's Tavern, receives a Valentine with no signature and is left wondering who sent it. Shelley Winters arrives at the tavern, and Archie finds himself flustered by her presence. His friends, Finnegan and Miss Duffy's staff, watch closely as he tries to keep his resolve. The episode is from the Duffy's Tavern series, originally broadcast on February 9, 1951, starring Ed Gardner, Shirley Booth, Charlie Cantor and Florence Halop.

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.
