What happens
Riley tries to get two football tickets for a USC game, hoping the favor will help him win a foreman job at the plant. His friend Gillis joins in the scheming, and the two men end up with a plan that involves bluffing their boss and a phone call pretending to be Stevenson. Riley is the central character of the series The Life of Riley, which aired on December 3, 1948 on the Blue Network/ABC and NBC, with William Bendix in the lead role of Riley alongside Paula Winslowe and Hans Conried.

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.
