What happens
Archie, the manager of Duffy's Tavern, is angry with his boss Duffy over his pay and treatment, and his frustration grows after a mix-up over a chandelier. Eddie the waiter and Miss Duffy listen to Archie's boasts about his legal training, and Archie begins to plan a fake lawsuit to win money from Duffy. The episode, from the Duffy's Tavern series, first aired on May 19, 1948, on CBS, NBC Blue and NBC, with Ed Gardner, Shirley Booth, Charlie Cantor and Florence Halop in the lead roles. Archie's scheme involves a number of customers and his former employers from his days as a legal clerk, and the plot grows more tangled as the case gets underway.

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.
