What happens
Vic and Sade is a daytime serial about a household in a small town, here shown in the episode The Bottom Buffet Drawer, first broadcast on December 8, 1941, starring Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson. Vic and Sade have guests for supper, and the family gathers in the dining room, where the talk turns to a buffet drawer and a set of objects kept inside it. Several family members and visitors offer their recollections of the drawer and its contents, and the conversation becomes a string of confused and contradictory accounts. The transcript breaks off partway through this exchange, so the episode's later developments are not described here.

Listen for: The repeated questions about what is in the bottom buffet drawer and who put it there.
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.
