Billy Mills opens with, OO What You Said.
Glowing with triumph and success, Fibber and Molly ride the bus home after being featured on the recent Lux Radio Theater program. Who will win the posturing for the last ham sandwich in their lunch basket? Will the McGee’s be mobbed by autograph seekers as they disembark? At least Teeny is on hand to befuddle Fibber. She tells what she knows about Hollywood, and the place where movies come from.
At the station, a brass band waits, and Fibber plans his big reception. First, Harlowe Wilcox spends a few moments in a hard sales pitch for the sponsor.
The McGee’s freshen up at home, and try to dodge a visit from Abigail Upington. They eavesdrop on her conversation with Billy Mills about them. This being leap year, the time when its socially acceptable for ladies to propose, will Abigail have a question to pop? Harlowe is back and offers to help Fibber with his speech, but it turns into a veiled sponsor plug. The visitors keep coming when the Old Timer tells it the way he hear’d it a bout theatrical work, and the upcoming anniversary for the show. The Kingsman sing a medley from the hit film, Pinocchio.
Time to race back to the station for that brass band reception. Along the way the McGee’s encounter Nick Dipopolus. Then a quick run in with Gildersleeve, and the truth about the band, and the reception.
