Billy Mills and the orchestra open with, Louisiana Hayride.
Fibber accuses Molly for the lack of buttons on his shirt. In the need of thread, she convinces him to go with her to the store. Along the way they comment on Mrs. Gildersleeve, Molly’s new fur coat, then stop to talk with Abigail Upington. The catty remarks come out over the style and fashion of the old gals.

Harlowe Wilcox does some hard selling of the sponsor product.
His cold persists when teeny shows up. She tells about her dog that has a cold too. Is it really a poinsettia? Will she squeeze a paying job out of Fibber? Harlowe is back to put a twist on his soft sale pitch of the sponsor, and keep Fibbers cold under wraps, at least for the moment. Boomer is next, and has an old family remedy for colds… as long as he can find it among the other items in his pockets. The Kingsman sing their arrangement of, Lazy Rose of the Rio Grande.
On the way to see the doctor, the McGee’s run into Nick Dipopolus instead. The Greek talks about twins in his family. How does a Greek steam bath differ from a Turkish bath, and will it help a cold? Doctor Cyclops tells about a couple trouble patients, seems to have a thing with his secretary, then examines Fibber. Is he healed?
Note: The doctor is played by Gale Gordon.
