What happens
Aunt Thelma stops by the Andersons' house on Maple Street between trains for a short visit. She is fond of a green glass lamp she gave the family, but when she asks after it, Jim and Margaret realize it has gone missing from the attic. Jim scrambles to find it before Thelma notices, while Betty frets over a botched haircut that has ruined her plans for a party. Father Knows Best is a radio comedy series, and this episode first aired on February 5, 1953, with Robert Young starring as Jim Anderson.
The White Frame House on Maple Street, a suburban family home, during one afternoon and evening.
Characters: Jim Anderson, Margaret Anderson, Betty Anderson, Bud Anderson, Kathy Anderson, Aunt Thelma, Aunt Delma
Listen for: Jim's increasingly desperate attempts to locate Aunt Thelma's lamp before she sees it, and the chain of misunderstandings that follows.
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.
