What happens
Gildersleeve has recently become engaged to the widow Doris Dowdrimple, and the two are set to attend a Saturday hayride with the town's jolly boys. Gildersleeve soon finds himself double-booked, having also arranged to take Eve Goodwin, and he tries to sort out the mix-up while avoiding both women. Harold Peary leads the cast as Gildersleeve, with Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle. The episode was first broadcast on NBC on November 5, 1947, as part of The Great Gildersleeve series.

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.
