What happens
Irma and Jane are upset when Jane's boyfriend Richard Rhinelander sails to England on business aboard the Queen Mary. Richard invites the whole gang to a bon voyage party in his stateroom, and Jane frets about the English girls he might meet. Meanwhile Irma's boyfriend Al announces a shady plan and begins scheming to get aboard the liner without paying. The episode is from the My Friend Irma series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on May 10, 1948, with Marie Wilson as Irma and Cathy Lewis as Jane.

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.
