Sponsored by Johnson’s Wax. It’s only 8:30PM and Fibber wants to get some rest so he can feel relaxed for his upcoming appearance on the Lux Radio Theater. Teeny is the first to disturb his plans by talking about her new roller skates. Fibber tries to feed her a tall tale about Pixies. She’s just a little too smart for him though. Mrs. Uppington stops in to tell about her car problem. Fibber brags about being Biggs Tinker McGee. Billy Mills plays.
Take a glimpse at the nighttime routine as the McGee’s prepare for bed. A burglar turns out to be Boomer. It’s now 2:00AM when the phone rings. It’s just Harlow with the commercial. Seems that Harlow needs to look up a word, and the dictionary is in Fibber’s hall closet. The Kingsmen sing, In the Gloaming.
It’s now 4AM and still no sleep for Fibber. Will Fibber ever get any rest? Not when Gildersleeve stops by to ask for the keys to Fibber’s car. Will the interuptions never cease? When the Old Timer stops in,it’s now the start of a new day, and he has a message from the sponsor.
