What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve waits anxiously at home and then at the hospital as his niece Marjorie is about to give birth. Gildersleeve's nephew Leroy wants to stay home from school, and Bronco Thompson, Marjorie's husband, is nowhere to be found when the big moment arrives.

The Great Gildersleeve is a long-running NBC comedy series, and this episode first aired on February 21, 1951, with Harold Peary in the title role and Willard Waterman, Lillian Randolph and Lurene Tuttle in 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.
