What happens
Jeff Sherman, a photographer, is hired by J.M. Blair to compromise Judge Cornelia Porter, who has just granted Blair's wife a divorce and heavy alimony. Sherman follows the judge to Cape Cod, where he rents a studio, poses as a sculptor and begins a friendship with her, her sister Janie and nephew Freddie. Screen Guild Theater presents this radio adaptation of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer comedy Design for Scandal on February 21, 1944, with Robert Young as Sherman and Carol Landis as the judge. The episode centres on the scheme and the romance that develops between the two 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.
