What happens
Irma Peterson, a secretary, becomes concerned when she hears a dog barking upstairs in the apartment building of the Martins, and her roommate Kay encourages her to write to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Irma's boss, Milton J. Clyde, keeps her working late, and she and her friends decide to form their own group to protect secretaries from mistreatment. Erma, Kay and their landlady Mrs. O'Reilly try to help the dog while the group takes shape. The episode is from My Friend Irma, first broadcast on CBS Radio on January 5, 1954, with Marie Wilson and Cathy Lewis in the leading roles.

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.
