About this episode
In this uproarious misadventure from May 7, 1935, Fibber McGee and Molly find themselves in a jam when their car runs out of gas in the heart of the city at 42nd and Broadway. Chaos quickly ensues as Fibber’s attempts to manage the situation—complete with his signature tall tales and snappy comebacks—clash with the no-nonsense attitude of a streetwise police officer. Molly, as ever, tries to keep the peace while adding her own sharp wit to the mix. Just when it seems the situation couldn’t get more absurd, a surprising connection from Molly’s past changes everything, turning a potential disaster into an unexpected reunion. Packed with clever wordplay, a lively Johnson’s Auto Wax pitch, and a musical interlude, this episode captures the charm and humor that make Fibber McGee & Molly a radio classic. Beautifully remastered for modern listeners, it’s a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of radio. Cast: Fibber McGee, Molly McGee, Officer O’Hoolahan, Gas Station Attendant, Various Characters
