What happens
Riley, an aircraft worker in Los Angeles, hopes to spend a half holiday with his 13-year-old son Junior, but Junior leaves him for a date with a girl. Riley turns his attention to his daughter Babs, whom he has neglected, and goes to the drugstore to join her. There he hears a rumor that Babs is seeing a handsome, older man. Riley, played by William Bendix, grows increasingly alarmed and determined to get to the truth. The episode, part of The Life of Riley series, first aired on November 26, 1948, on the Blue Network and ABC, and NBC.

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.
