About this episode
Originally aired December 13, 1937, this episode finds Fibber McGee inspired by bachelorhood—and perhaps a touch of loneliness—as he opens the "McGee Matrimonial Bureau" while Molly is away visiting Aunt Sarah. Ever the meddler with more confidence than competence, Fibber dives into the business of matchmaking with predictably chaotic results. Clients include a lumberjack seeking love, a jealous boyfriend ready to brawl, and a Scot frantically hunting for a last-minute bride after his fiancée flees the altar. Meanwhile, Sil, the ever-loyal helper, enlists Fibber’s assistance in wooing his gal, Rosebud—leading to a classic comedy of errors involving jealousy, mistaken intentions, and a gun-toting sweetheart on the warpath. Packed with rapid-fire jokes, lovable absurdity, and Johnson’s Wax commercials, this remastered gem captures golden-age radio hilarity at its most heartwarming and harebrained.
