What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly visit the office of a Wistful Vista optometrist after Molly insists that Fibber needs glasses. Fibber insists his eyesight is fine and grumbles through the examination, during which the doctor puts drops in his eyes. Afterward the couple discover that Fibber has accidentally taken another man's overcoat, and they set out to track down its owner, Wallace Whimple. The episode is from the Fibber McGee and Molly series, broadcast on NBC Radio on April 15, 1941, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan among 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.
