What happens
Jim Anderson learns that Brian Stockwell, a developer planning a subdivision in North Springfield, will award an insurance contract the next day, and he needs an introduction to Stockwell to win it. Meanwhile, at home in Springfield, his daughter Kathy is preparing for a school play in which she must wear a carrot costume that keeps going wrong. Jim tries several friends and acquaintances to make the introduction, while Margaret and the children work on the costume. The Father Knows Best series, first broadcast on April 12, 1951, stars Robert Young.

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.
