What happens
Bronco Thompson and Marjorie Gildersleeve quarrel after Marjorie announces she wants a job once they are married. Their uncle, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, tries to settle the dispute, but his attempts to take sides and offer advice only make matters worse. Bowling with Judge Hooker, Gildersleeve gets pulled into the argument from several directions. The Great Gildersleeve is a long-running comedy series on NBC, first heard on February 8, 1950, starring Harold Peary. The story follows the family's efforts to resolve the disagreement over whether a wife should work after marriage.

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.
