Fibber McGee and Molly – Ironing Board And Pressing Pants. ep417, 441205

Jim and Mary and Jordan posing for the camera in 1941. The vintage black and white illustration of a couple sitting in a cozy living room. Fibber is holding a newspaper and Molly is knitting. They are both looking at a small dog that is sitting on a rug between them. The room is decorated with a patterned wallpaper, framed pictures, and a vase with flowers on a table in the background."

Proud of his quality purchase, Fibber gets set up to press a suit, but creates a mess. What will Alice Darling contribute, when she has news about her latest boyfriend? Some new, air plant jargon means either a big date, or maybe even a fox fur jacket from a married man! Although it isn’t what it seems. Billy Mills plays, Pico Pico.

Continuing to put together his ironing station, Fibber tries to wire the iron, but with shocking results. Doc Gamble enters in a rundown state after a night of delivering babies. Sometimes he wishes he were just a street car conductor. As Fibbers mishaps continue, Harlowe Wilcox is on hand to deliver a sponsor message.

Teeny enters to tell Fibber what her dad really thinks of him. Will Santa be able to fit a pony down her chimney? Maybe she can get a puppy from the local movie theater? The Kingsman sing, Why Don’t You Kiss Me.

The project to press pants continues, with more destructive results. Time to phone Mirt the operator, and learn about her uncle. Meanwhile, Molly has a running tally on the expense that Fibber has run up to save having his suit professionally pressed. Beulah pops in to help wind up the whole unfortunate episode. But she manages to present Fibber with a freshly pressed suit.
