Thanksgiving is over, and the gang jokes about Red’s big dinner party. Topics also include butcher shops, coffee shortages, dating, and more. Ozzie is joined by Harriot to sing,. Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

On the premise of strange things that happen, a cop in the park comes upon Red as he holds down a park bench, feedin the squirrels. Will the beginning of gas rationing keep Red from being hauled off to the police station?

Elsewhere we find what crazy thingd happen to Clem Kadiddlehopper. He keeps getting mistaken for Phil Snuffbucket… whoever that may be. Daisy June needs help with the dishes, but Junior’s trick of blaming the cat doesn’t work for him. Will he ever get away from that guy who thinks he’s Phil Snuffbucket? Ozzie plays, Comes Love.

Deadeye helps out with a sponsor message, as he does some interesting horse trading. Then Junior the mean little kid breaks things, plays with the cat, gets sent to his room, and tells on his mom. Is the visitor to the door really Phil Snuffbucket? Junior gets into trouble in the bathroom shaving and beautifying himself.

Note: One character who is missing today is Wonderful Smith. We’ll find out in the next episode that he enlisted in the Army to go off to war. Also a quick word goes out to the dedication to the same Grand Rapids radio statioion that Fibber McGee joked about on his show that aired this same day.
