What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve tries to teach his nephew Leroy a lesson about borrowing and credit after the boy runs through his allowance and his shoes. Gildersleeve, a Summerfield town official, approaches friends including Judge Hooker, Floyd the barber and Mr. Munson to borrow $100, and his reputation for credit becomes the talk of the town. Marjorie, Leroy's sister, Bertie the housekeeper and others are drawn into the misunderstanding. The Great Gildersleeve is an NBC radio comedy, first broadcast on October 1, 1947, 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.
