What happens
Bronco Thompson learns he will be sent to work at his company's Paris branch, and his wife Marjorie is thrilled by the news. Bronco hopes to learn French before leaving, and Gildersleeve suggests Marie Olsen as his teacher. Marjorie grows suspicious of the lessons, and an argument develops in the Gildersleeve household. The Great Gildersleeve is a long-running NBC radio comedy, and this episode, first aired on April 7, 1954, stars Harold Peary and Willard Waterman, with Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle also appearing.

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.
