What happens
Leroy Gildersleeve is caught lying about practicing his piano, and his uncle Gildersleeve refuses to take him fishing until he tells the truth. The water commissioner stays up late in the evening, then rises early and takes Leroy out to a lake for a day of fishing.

This episode of The Great Gildersleeve aired on NBC on August 19, 1953, with Harold Peary and Willard Waterman among the leads.

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.
