What happens
Marjorie Forrester is days away from marrying Bronco Thompson, and on the day of their wedding rehearsal Marjorie is dressed in old slacks and a sweatshirt when Bronco arrives. He borrows Gildersleeve's Studebaker to pick up a friend of the family, Hazel McCoy, at the station, then fails to return. As the hours pass, Marjorie grows anxious and Gildersleeve, Aunt Bertie, Leroy and Judge Hooker try to explain his absence. The Great Gildersleeve is a long-running NBC comedy series, and this episode aired on May 3, 1950, with Harold Peary in the title role.
Summerfield, the Gildersleeve household, and the surrounding town on the day of the wedding rehearsal.
Characters: Gildersleeve, Marjorie, Bronco Thompson, Leroy, Bertie, Judge Hooker, Hazel McCoy, Aunt Eudora
Listen for: Marjorie's worry as Bronco fails to come back, and the explanations offered by Gildersleeve and the others.
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.
