What happens
Fletcher Rush is a dinner guest at the Gook household when Orville Gook's brother-in-law, Mr. Carkel, arrives in a state of agitation. Orville has been dismissed from the gas company after falling asleep on the job, and Mr. Carkel explains that Edith's mother wants Orville placed at the consolidated kitchenware company. Vic and Sade's family, the Gooks, are drawn into the family's dispute over the situation, and the family's sharp words and mounting tension set the scene for a visit from Edith's mother. This episode of Vic and Sade, broadcast in 1945, features Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson in the lead roles.

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.
