What happens
Fibber McGee and Molly bid at a sidewalk auction and find themselves stuck with thirty-six dollars' worth of wallpaper after an auctioneer named Boomer claims they bid on it. Molly insists they did not, and Boomer demands payment. Fibber decides to paper the living room himself, despite Molly's doubts about his skills. The episode is from the Fibber McGee and Molly series, first broadcast on NBC Radio on June 11, 1940, with Harold Peary, Bill Thompson, Gale Gordon and Arthur Q. Bryan among the cast. The episode is broadcast as part of the Johnson Wax program.

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.
