What happens
Leroy Gildersleeve is left out of Craig Bullard's birthday party after a quarrel over who gets to be president of their club. Uncle Gildersleeve tries to smooth things over between the boys, but Leroy sulks and refuses to take part. Leroy and his sister Marjorie hide out in Leroy's backyard shack, where they eat raw potatoes and grumble about the party. Their uncle tries to keep them out of the way, and Craig's mother Mrs. Bullard soon discovers that Leroy was never given the invitation. The episode is part of The Great Gildersleeve radio series, first broadcast on NBC on May 7, 1947, and stars Harold Peary, Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle.

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.
