What happens
Bronco Thompson, newly married to Marjorie, sets out to become a real estate salesman and wants to make his own way without depending on his father-in-law. Leroy's backyard bonfire drifts smoke across the street toward Mr. Bullard, and the two neighbors trade insults. Bronco persuades Bullard to give him a listing, then approaches Gildersleeve, who agrees to list his house as a gesture of encouragement. Gildersleeve and Bullard soon find themselves caught in a tangle of deals. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on May 24, 1950, starring Harold Peary.
Summerfield, the Gildersleeve house and neighborhood, the water department office, and Peevey's drugstore.

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.
