What happens

Our Miss Brooks follows English teacher Connie Brooks and her colleague Walter Denman as they discover that the school bus Mr. Boynton bought for Madison High is an old police patrol wagon. Principal Osgood Conklin, eager to appear youthful, is unaware of the purchase and is trying to impress everyone with a shaved mustache and a bright red bow tie. Connie and Mr. Boynton scheme to keep the wagon hidden from him while Mrs. Davis, the landlady, arrives driving it. The episode is an installment of the Our Miss Brooks series, which aired on CBS Radio on January 27, 1952, starring Eve Arden.

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.
