What happens

Connie Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High School, is put in charge of the student school banking system by Principal Osgood Conklin. After her landlady, Mrs. Davis, uses $25 of the student savings to buy Connie a dress, Connie tries to return it to Sherry's department store. Her attempts to undo the mistake before Mr. Conklin inspects the records lead her through a series of awkward encounters around the school and town. The episode is from the Our Miss Brooks series, which aired on CBS Radio on January 30, 1949, starring Eve Arden and Gale Gordon.

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.
