What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly wait eagerly for a mailed package and receive a genuine Egyptian good luck ring ordered for 39 cents. Fibber is convinced the ring will bring him fortune, and soon a letter from a lawyers' office announces an inheritance from an Uncle Spud in Pocatella, Idaho. The couple travel across town to claim it, with Fibber's luck proving mixed along the way. The Fibber McGee and Molly series aired on NBC Radio, and this episode is from February 13, 1940, starring 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.
