What happens
Judge Smith's daughter Mary is hidden away in Florida after a gambling club raid threatens his presidential hopes. Her maid Ellie sets her up on a blind date with Stretch Willoughby, a rodeo cowboy, and Mary, pretending to be a lady's maid, finds herself drawn to him. The Lady Esther Screen Guild Players present this half-hour comedy, adapted from Samuel Goldwyn's production, with Gregory Peck, Olivia de Havilland and Patsy Moran starring. The episode broadcast on April 29, 1946. Its first act sets up the mismatched romance and the deception at its center.

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.
