What happens
Fibber McGee borrows Lady Uppington's car to get downtown in a hurry, and when it is stolen from outside the cigar store he panics and gives a false name to the police.

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.
