What happens
Fibber McGee tries to get rid of his old blue serge suit, which Molly keeps urging him to throw out. He first considers selling it to a secondhand clothing shop, then tries various schemes to dispose of it, including the river and a neighbor's yard. Along the way he meets Mr. Wilcox, who keeps mentioning Johnson's wax, and Mayor LaTrivia's friend Mr. Uppington sets up a dealing with a music teacher, William Randolph Mills. The episode is part of the Fibber McGee and Molly series, first broadcast on NBC Radio on January 30, 1940, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan in the cast. The suit's troubles continue as the McGees try one plan after another.

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.
