What happens
A wealthy New York family's youngest daughter, Irene Bullock, takes part in a scavenger hunt on the city dump and finds a homeless man named Godfrey, who lives in a packing case by the waterfront. Impressed by his wit and dignity, she brings him home and hires him as the family butler. The series is Lux Radio Theatre, and this adaptation of My Man Godfrey aired on May 9, 1938, with William Powell and Carol Lombard in the leading roles. Irene grows increasingly attached to Godfrey, and the household's eccentric members react to his presence with suspicion and amusement.

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.
