What happens
Fred Allen runs the Eureka Advertising Agency and is pitching a peanut butter campaign to Mr. Spratt, a client who wants his product on every billboard in America. Allen's staff, including his secretary Miss Jack, shows off an elaborate system of vice presidents with odd titles. When Allen checks a letter from the mail line, he learns that vice president Beemers, in charge of envelope licking, has been missing since April 1st. Allen and Miss Jack set out to track down the missing executive at the Eureka offices, questioning staff and searching the building. The episode is from the Fred Allen series, first aired on April 22, 1936, with Fred Allen, Portland Hoffa, Kenny Delmar and Minerva Pious 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.
