What happens
Vic and Russell come home for lunch and find Mr. Sludge asleep on the davenport after a sleepless night with a toothache. Russell sneaks into the living room and seems to be bothering the sleeping man, while Vic pokes at him to see whether he will answer questions in his sleep. Later, Vic discovers a mustache drawn in pencil on Mr. Sludge's face and immediately suspects who did it. The story is part of the Vic and Sade series, first broadcast on February 4, 1944, with Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson in the lead roles.
The Gook family home in a small town, at lunchtime on a winter day.

Listen for: Vic's attempts to question the sleeping Mr. Sludge, and the discovery of the drawn mustache.
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.
