What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly set out for the circus, and Fibber hopes for a ticket-free entry. Their attempt to reach the show leads them to an old circus friend, Buster Dawson, who now owns the circus. Fibber recalls his past in the circus business, while Molly watches the fun unfold. The episode is from the series Fibber McGee and Molly, first broadcast on NBC Radio on May 28, 1940, starring Jim and Marian Jordan, with Bill Thompson as the Old Timer and Gale Gordon as Gildersleeve, and Arthur Q. Bryan.
A circus in town, reached on foot and then through the circus grounds and owner's box.
Characters: Fibber McGee, Molly McGee, Buster Dawson, Mrs. Abigail Uppington, Boomer, Gildersleeve
Listen for: Fibber's exchanges with Buster Dawson and Mrs. Uppington, and the owner's box scene.
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.
