What happens
Vic and Sade is a daytime serial, and this episode is titled Sade and Ruthie Come Out Even. Sade Gibbs and her neighbor Ruthie Stembottom spend an afternoon shopping downtown and are proud to report that their pocketbooks finish the day exactly as they began it. Vic Gibbs and Mr. Mann tease the two women over their claim. Sade explains their simple method, but when Vic starts questioning the details, a small candy purchase and a nickel exchanged on the porch raise doubts about the arithmetic. Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson are the lead actors. The episode was first broadcast on September 14, 1942.
The Gibbs household and the surrounding neighborhood, with a shopping trip downtown in the background.
Characters: Sade, Vic, Ruthie Stembottom, Mr. Mann, Mom
Listen for: Sade's account of how she and Ruthie kept their money even, and Vic's questions about the candy transaction on the porch.
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.
