About this episode
Originally Aired: December 15, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #343, "Fibber Misplaces Christmas Money," Fibber is beside himself with frustration, berating his own stupidity in the most colorful terms imaginable. The problem? He hid fifteen dollars last summer for Molly's Christmas present, and with only eight shopping days left until Christmas, he cannot remember where he put it. Despite searching through the sugar bowl (now holding something more precious than money - sugar itself), his collection of cellophane in a blue vase, and all his old clothes, the white envelope marked "do not touch until ten days before Christmas" remains frustratingly elusive. Molly tries to calm her frantic husband as he paces and frets, looking more haggard by the hour. When neighbor Abigail Uppington stops by on her way to her department store Santa Claus duties, she suggests a solution that sends Fibber rushing out the door with Molly in tow. A fortune teller might be just the answer to locating his missing Christmas money. Despite Molly's skepticism about "bargain basement gypsies" and Fibber's own doubts about their dingy reception room, desperation drives them to consult the mysterious Madame X.
