What happens
Brock Morton, known as Gildersleeve, has become guardian of his niece Marjorie and nephew Leroy Forrester in Summerfield. Before a tea party for Marjorie's beau Ted's parents, the two children and Gildersleeve eat a cake Marjorie baked for the occasion. Leroy and Gildersleeve then try to bake a replacement themselves, with messy results. The Great Gildersleeve is an NBC comedy series starring Harold Peary, and this episode first aired on September 7, 1941. Lurene Tuttle and Lillian Randolph also appear in the cast. Gildersleeve's neighbor Mrs. Dunworthy and Judge Hooker drop in while the baking is underway.

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.
