What happens
Newspaper editor Walter Burns and his ex-wife, reporter Hildy Johnson, reunite when she visits his office to announce her marriage to insurance man Bruce Baldwin. Walter persuades Hildy to interview Earl Williams, a condemned man awaiting hanging, promising her a commission if she helps. Hildy agrees, but her plans become tangled as Bruce's money is involved and events at the criminal courts building spiral. This Screen Guild Theater adaptation of the 1941 film His Girl Friday stars Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, as broadcast on March 30, 1941. The story is still unfolding when this part of the episode ends.

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.
