Fibber McGee and Molly – Sunlamp. ep495, 461217

A black and white photograph of Fibber McGee and Molly, a couple from a popular radio show of the same name. They are standing in front of a closet that has been opened, with clothes and other items spilling out onto the floor. Fibber is holding a mop and wearing an apron, while Molly looks on with a smile on her face. The overall effect is one of humor and domesticity, with the couple's playful antics and cluttered living space providing a snapshot of life in mid-century America in 1948.

What’s the latest fashion statement that Fibber wants to make? He shows off his new sun lamp to Molly. Heavenly day! While lounging around scantily dressed, Fibber has to keep putting back on his clothes, with visitors sometimes catching him in various stages of undress.

One by one the visitors arrive. Mayor Latrivia, Harlowe Wilcox, the lady from the beauty parlor, and all notice something about Fibber that’s strange… make that stranger than his usual self. Nobody pays any attention to his life guard’s tan that he’s trying to cultivate though.

Molly tries without luck, to convince Fibber that it may take more than just a few minutes under the lamp. Even multiple visits under it in the same day. Will Fibber end up with a sun burn in the middle of Winter? Doc Gamble arrives in time to catch Fibber showing signs of catching a cold, from going around shirtless so much. His advice? Sit under a sunlamp. Huh? Why hasn’t the healthy advice worked for Fibber? Where’s his impressive tan? Stay tuned to the end for the secret of the medical mix-up.
