What happens
Captain Pat Quilligan, owner of the barge Mary Quilligan on the Hudson River, has become engaged to two different women, Margie Masrock of Brooklyn and Lucy Blake of Eureka. His loyal mate Mac Denny warns him he cannot keep up the deception. Quilligan's trouble grows when Lucy's mother, Mrs. Blake, confronts him, mistaking him for a twin brother, Michael. The episode is a comedy of mistaken identity and tangled romance, starring Phil Silvers as Mac and William Bendix as Quilligan. The broadcast first aired on February 11, 1946.

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.
