What happens
Jim Anderson, a Springfield father, is restless on a spring Saturday and tries to get his family to help him paint the fence and windows. His daughter Betty is upset when her date Ralph suddenly leaves town for Kansas City without a word, and she has no escort for the spring prom that night. Jim decides to step in and arrange a replacement date, with a series of mix-ups following. The episode is from the radio series Father Knows Best, originally broadcast on April 30, 1953, with 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.
