Fibber McGee and Molly – Planting a Hedge. ep241, 400326

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."

Billy Mills plays, I Wanna Be Happy.

Spring has sprung, and Fibber greets the first buds of the season. Digging in his garden, Fibber communes with nature as he plants a hedge. The Old Timer visits to offer seeds from his catalog. Does anyone want to hear it the way he does? Even when it’s about Molly being one of the well-dressed women? Gildersleeve pops in with a dispute over the boundaries of their lawns. Party of the First Pot McGee brags about his skill with a green thumb. Harlowe spends time in some hard sales of the sponsor product.

Teeny takes a short cut and tells the latest about her dog, Margret. Suddenly a noise from the chimney brings a surprise, and a commercial moment from Harlowe. A stranger with a tripod shows up, is Nick Dipopolus also a surveyor? He tells about confusion on the golf course. Outside, Fibber and Gildersleeve bicker over who gets to look through the telescope. When Molly learns the guys are spying on Abigail Upington and Billy Mills, she shoves them aside to see it for herself.

The Kingsman sing, All the Things You Are. When Abigail Upington shows up, she seems to be showing signs of what the telescope revealed. What dignified way of explaining herself will she share? The surveyor has news that gives Gildie the upper hand, although there may be surprises for him as well.
