What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly centers on Fibber, who spends his war bond money on a four-carat diamond ring he bought for twenty dollars from a stranger who said he found it in the gutter. Fibber plans to collect the reward for returning it, while Molly doubts the story. Fibber's neighbor Alice, Mr. Wilcox, and Dr. Gamble each take an interest in the ring, and the bargain takes unexpected turns. The episode is from the Fibber McGee and Molly series, which aired on NBC Radio on February 1, 1944, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan in the cast.

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.
