The Jolly Boys practice, but when Gildersleeve goes home he finds all the lights on. Is everybody OK? Don’t they know there’s a war on? Birdie and Marjorie think they’ve herd burglarlars prowling. Maybe Gildy should go check on Leila Ransome.
Armed with his air raid warden helmet, and a pistol, Gildy creeps over to check on Leila. Is there anything to the noises she has been hearing? Will it come down to having guns blazing? Who’s voice was that who screamed from the kitchen at the sound of a gunshot?
Why is judge Hooker in Leila’s kitchen? Why did Leila think she had a burglar? Is anything missing? A silver coffee pot heirloom is missing. Sure that the criminal returns to the scene of the crime, Gildy suggests setting a trap that’s sure to lure him back.
Leila is sure to be safe upstairs with Gildy and the judge standing guard in her kitchen. What brings Peavey to the kitchen in the middle of the night? Apparently Leila isn’t safe until she phones everyone she knows. With her security force snuggly tucked in for the night, a good rest is had by all. When chief Bates visits in the morning, the mystery gets solved.
