What happens
The Anderson family of Maple Street believes Uncle Hubert has arrived unannounced after a straw suitcase turns up in their hall. Each family member assumes he is in the house, and their evening plans begin to unravel as they scramble to find him, rearrange bedrooms and prepare for his stay. Jim tries to send the visitor off to an old friend, Mr. Kettner, but the plan backfires. The episode is part of the Father Knows Best series, first aired on November 19, 1953, and it is led by Robert Young as Jim Anderson.

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.
