What happens
Gildersleeve boasts to his young nephew Leroy that he is a better man than Mr. Bullard, the water commissioner.

When Gildersleeve challenges Bullard to a hike, Floyd the barber warns him that Bullard is a mountain climber, and the trip is set for the cliffs of Old Stone Face. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on November 8, 1950, starring Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle.

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.
