What happens
Chester A. Riley and his family hear a radio speaker argue that women should throw off the bondage of marriage and become equal to men. The argument sets off a household dispute, with Riley insisting men and women are not equal and his wife Peg taking the broadcast to heart. Riley's neighbor Gillis offers ill-judged advice, and Peg's wedding ring goes missing. The episode is part of The Life of Riley, first broadcast on January 10, 1948, on the Blue Network and NBC, starring William Bendix as Riley and Paula Winslowe as Peg.
The Riley home and neighborhood, late 1940s America.

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.
