What happens
Miss Brooks, a high school teacher, is researching an article called The Vanishing Hobo for a magazine during the Christmas holidays. She meets a tramp calling himself the Earl of Peoria and brings him home to help with her research. The next morning, Mr. Conklin asks her to take his suits to the cleaners, but when she brings the car around, the suits, Walter's car, a typewriter and a radio have all gone missing, and the Earl is nowhere to be found. Eve Arden stars in this 1953 CBS Radio episode of Our Miss Brooks, first broadcast on December 27, 1953, with Gale Gordon, Jeff Chandler and Richard Crenna in the cast.

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.
