What happens
Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve and his nephew Leroy try to get rid of their domineering Aunt Hattie, who has been staying with them for a week. Gildersleeve suggests the family leave for a vacation at Clear Lake, hoping she will go home, but she announces she will come along to do the cooking.

The Great Gildersleeve is an NBC radio series, and this episode aired on June 2, 1954, with Willard Waterman in the title role and Lillian Randolph, Lurene Tuttle and Harold Peary among 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.
