What happens
Irma and Jane mark a year of rooming together, and Irma decides to celebrate by baking a cake.

Jane is expecting Richard to deliver a hundred dollars of petty cash to her apartment, and the money becomes tangled up with the handbag. This is an episode of the CBS Radio comedy My Friend Irma, first broadcast on December 1, 1947, starring Marie Wilson and Cathy Lewis.

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.
