What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve's girlfriend, the schoolteacher Miss Tuttle, is tired after a school year, and Gildersleeve's romantic interest in her is shown as the story develops. Leroy, a student, passes his exams and, wanting to thank Miss Tuttle, buys her a traveling case with his own savings. Marvin follows him, and the gift is left on Miss Tuttle's doorstep. Miss Tuttle believes Gildersleeve sent it and invites him to dinner. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC on June 17, 1953. Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle are among 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.
