What happens
Gildersleeve prepares for an evening with Adeline Fairchild, a new love interest, at his home, while his old friend Judge Hooker is turned away from dinner.

The story centers on Gildersleeve's romantic life and his friendships with the Jolly Boys members.

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.
