Mrs Uppington’s Window Part 1

Originally Aired: January 13, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #309, "Mrs Uppington's Window Part 1," Fibber wakes up in a panic over what he desperately hopes was just a nightmare. He tells Molly that he dreamed he walked to Mrs. Uppington's house in the middle of the night and threw a rock through her front window, but his wet shoes suggest it might have been real. When the morning paper confirms that someone did indeed smash Mrs. Uppington's window, Fibber becomes convinced he's the guilty party, though he has no memory of actually doing it. The situation worsens when the Old Timer stops by to return Fibber's gloves, which he found in a snowdrift right in front of Mrs. Uppington's house. A desperate Fibber bribes him with five dollars to keep quiet, adding bribery to his list of crimes. Just as Molly tries to calm him down and convince him it might all be coincidence, Officer Frink from the Burglary Squad arrives at their door, having traced footprints from the Uppington mansion directly to the McGees' front steps.
