What happens
Gildersleeve gets a pair of ducks from Mr. Cooley in the cold December morning and invites his neighbor P.V. Peavey to dinner. He then invites Mrs. Potter, who is celebrating her birthday, to join them. Gildersleeve's household, including Birdie, Leroy and Marjorie, prepares the meal, and the dinner plans soon become complicated. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series; this episode first aired on NBC on December 3, 1952, starring Harold Peary and Willard Waterman, with Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle also in 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.
