About this episode
Originally Aired: March 30, 1943 Fibber McGee & Molly #358, "The Washing Machine," Fibber manages to completely destroy the McGee household washing machine, reducing it to a pile of twisted parts after ignoring Molly's warnings about the gearbox. Just when all seems lost, Molly hands him a newspaper containing a classified ad for an electric washing machine being sold by a Mrs. J. Benchley in Wistful Vista, with ringing and ironing attachments, which must be sold by April 1st - just two days away. Fibber interprets this remarkable coincidence as Providence watching over him. The McGees spring into action to track down this precious washing machine before someone else snaps it up. After a characteristically rambling phone conversation with Mert the operator, they discover that the seller frequently calls Jimmy Sayles grocery, so they head there for more information. Before they can leave, however, little Teeny drops by with a convoluted riddle that tests Fibber's patience as he rushes to claim the washing machine before it's too late.
