What happens
Marcia Meredith, a lawyer nominated for a federal judgeship, faces opposition in the Senate Judiciary Committee over her recent divorce from attorney Peter Webb. Pete follows her to Palm Beach, where a chance meeting and a series of mishaps send the two former spouses fleeing through a tunnel and onto a remote lighthouse. Their stay there, with its keeper Mr. Rugle, forces them to confront their unresolved feelings for one another. The Screen Guild Theater presents this 1950 radio adaptation of the Columbia Pictures comedy, starring Robert Cummings and Rosalind Russell, with Clem Bevans.

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.
