At the studio, the McGees find the proprietor missing and are kept waiting, and a series of mix-ups over payment and the photographer's identity follows. The episode is part of the long-running Fibber McGee and Molly series, first aired on NBC Radio on June 10, 1941, with Harold Peary and Bill Thompson in the lead roles.

Listen for: The McGees' bickering over old photographs, and the confusion at the photo studio over who the photographer is and who has been paid.

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.
