What happens
Jim Anderson and his family in Springfield must deal with a pet skunk that their son Bud wins in a raffle. Margaret Anderson, Jim's wife, and their children Betty and Kathy are also drawn into the dispute over what to do with the animal. Jim tries to find the skunk a home, first by phoning the zoo and then by organizing a raffle of his own to give the animal away. The episode is part of the Father Knows Best radio series, broadcast on October 12, 1950, and stars 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.
