What happens
Miss Brooks, an English teacher at Madison High School, is short of money and her landlady, Mrs. Davis, suggests she try for a summer job with Deacon Jones, a square-dance bandleader touring the backwoods with his troupe. Miss Brooks recruits Mr. Boynton, the science teacher, to rehearse rural comedy routines with her in the supply room during lunch, with Walter Denton and Harriet Conklin also drawn into the plan. Mr. Conklin, the principal, forbids faculty fraternizing during school hours, and the rehearsals are soon discovered. The series is Our Miss Brooks, a CBS Radio comedy, and this episode aired on July 3, 1955, with Eve Arden and Gale Gordon among the leads.

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.
