What happens
Cluny Brown, a plumber's niece working as a maid, comes to Professor Adam Belinsky's London apartment seeking help and ends up trying to fix a stopped-up sink for a cocktail party. Her unconventional ideas about life and happiness attract the attention of Andrew Carmel and his circle, who take the professor into their country home at Friar's Carmel. The episode is from the Screen Director's Playhouse radio series, broadcast on NBC on November 23, 1950, and is presented here with stars Dorothy McGuire and Charles Boyer. The story follows Cluny as she settles into life in the household.

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.
