What happens
Luigi Basso, a recent immigrant from Italy, runs a small antique shop and faces trouble when his landlord, Pasquale, raises his rent and pushes him to marry his daughter Rosa.

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.
