What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve travels to Summerfield to take over the administration of his brother-in-law's estate, which will be run for his niece Marjorie and nephew Leroy. On the train he clashes with a diner companion and an upper-berth passenger, and he arrives tired and irritable. At the children's home he meets their lawyer, Ted Wills, and the family discusses the legal arrangements. The estate is to be handled in court before Judge Hooker, who must decide whether Gildersleeve is fit for the job. The Great Gildersleeve is a radio comedy series, and this episode first aired on NBC on August 31, 1941. Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle lead 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.
