What happens

Jerry and Lucy argue over trust in their marriage, and the quarrel ends with Lucy agreeing to a divorce. The episode is an adaptation of the Columbia Pictures comedy The Awful Truth, presented on Lux Radio Theatre on January 18, 1955, with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne in the leading roles. In the course of the court proceedings, a dispute arises over custody of their dog, Mr. Smith.

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.
