What happens

Phil, Alice, and Elliott Lewis go to the police station to plead for the boy's release, insisting he is honest. Their visit is full of comic exchanges with the sergeant and with Julius himself. Afterward they decide to look into the case on their own, starting with the Cartwright household, where the stolen goods disappeared. The series is The Phil Harris Alice Faye Show, first broadcast on NBC on December 7, 1952, starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye.

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.
