What happens
Chester A. Riley, a married man of eighteen years, is startled when he learns from a newspaper and his own family that he talks in his sleep about a mysterious woman named Gertrude. Worried that his wife Peg and his children will believe the worst, Riley tries to trace the woman, first through his neighbor Gillis, then through a psychiatrist, and eventually by searching his own memories. The Life of Riley is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on February 4, 1949, with William Bendix in the title role.

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.
