What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve suffers a baffling attack of sneezing and visits Dr. Depister, a specialist in allergies. The doctor proposes a long series of tests in the home, which alarms Gildersleeve. Meanwhile, Leroy and his friends build a tree house in the backyard, and Gildersleeve, helping with the construction, soon finds himself stuck in it. Judge Hooker teases him from the ground, and the household and neighbors gather to see how he will get down. The series is The Great Gildersleeve, aired on NBC on June 7, 1942, starring Harold Peary.

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.
