What happens
Susan Applegate, a newly graduated Happy Scalp hair treatment operator, quits after a client, Mr. Osborne, makes unwelcome advances, and sets off home to Stevenson, Iowa, on a half-fare ticket. Posing as a child, she is found in a train compartment by Major Philip Kirby, an instructor at a military institute, who takes her under his wing. Warner Baxter stars as Major Kirby, Ruth Warrick as Susan, and Diana Lynn as Lucy Hill. This episode of Screen Guild Theater aired on September 6, 1943, and is adapted from the Paramount film The Major and the Minor. The broadcast follows Susan's attempts to keep her disguise going at the institute.

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.
