  1. Converting Oil Stove To Coal

    Oct 11, 2026 · 24 min

    Originally Aired: October 13, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #334, "Converting Oil Stove To Coal," Fibber McGee has made one of his instant decisions: to help with the country's wartime fuel distribution problem by converting their oil furnace back to coal. Despite Molly's sensible suggestion to call the Wilsons who originally converted it, Fibber insists on doing the job himself with his own hands. There's just one problem - Molly has returned all his borrowed tools to their rightful owners, leaving him without the equipment he needs. While Fibber stalls by working crossword puzzles to "sharpen his wits" and "stimulate his ingenuity," he claims he's simply preparing for the big job ahead. The Old Timer stops by to invite them to the circus, and Abigail Uppington arrives asking Molly to accompany her to a dog show where she's entering her prized Pekingese, Fifi. Molly declines, explaining that Fibber needs her there while he works on the furnace. As Fibber continues to delay the actual work, Uppington questions why he would waste his "mechanical genius" on such a project when nature has already provided him with a substitute fuel source.

  2. Otis Cadwalader Is In Town

    Oct 10, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: October 6, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #333, "Otis Cadwalader Is In Town," Fibber works himself into a jealous fury when he learns that Otis Cadwalader, one of Molly's old high school beaus, is passing through town. When Otis calls from the railroad station asking to visit, Fibber erupts with indignation, ranting about the wealthy suitor with his raccoon coat and Stutz Bearcat who once courted Molly. While Molly politely explains they can't visit this time, Fibber fumes about the "dirty little snob" and makes it clear he wants nothing to do with his old rival. Despite Fibber's protests, Molly remains gracious, even rushing to fix her hair when someone knocks at the door. The tension builds as Fibber prepares to give Cadwalader the cold shoulder, only to find young Teeny at the door instead. After enduring one of Teeny's typically convoluted jokes about fire engines, Fibber continues his bitter tirade against Otis, dismissing him as brainless and recalling how Otis was voted handsomest in their senior class only because he counted the votes himself. Just as the McGees prepare to head out to a movie, another visitor arrives at their door.

  3. Fibber Forgets Camera On Train

    Oct 9, 2026 · 24 min

    Originally Aired: September 29, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #332, "Fibber Forgets Camera On Train," the McGees return home to 79 Wistful Vista after a thirteen-week fishing vacation at Lake Hatsapuchi, only to discover a problem with their photographic souvenirs. As Molly begins unpacking their dusty house, Fibber eagerly prepares to take his film to the drugstore for developing, boasting about the quality of his snapshots. However, Molly quickly reminds him that she actually took all the pictures. Their banter is interrupted by a more serious realization: Fibber left his prized camera on the train, the one he won by selling twenty-seven subscriptions to a magazine. Determined to retrieve the camera rather than buy a new one during wartime rationing, the McGees head to the railroad station to visit the Lost and Found Department. Along the way, they encounter familiar faces including the Old Timer, who regales them with jokes about his new defense plant job testing parachutes, and the overly talkative information desk clerk who takes forever to answer simple questions. They also run into their neighbor Abigail Uppington, who reveals she's been walking around with a book on her head to improve her posture.

  4. Packing For Vacation Locked Trunk

    Oct 8, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: June 23, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #331, "Packing For Vacation Locked Trunk," Fibber and Molly are preparing to leave for their summer vacation, but there's one major problem: Fibber has locked their suitcase with the key trapped inside. As the couple debates whether to head to the mountains or seashore, Fibber dismisses Molly's sensible suggestion to call Luke Smith the locksmith and instead attempts increasingly absurd solutions. The Old Timer stops by to pitch his brother's dude ranch, while little Teeny drops in but offers no real help with the locked trunk dilemma. Fibber's desperation escalates from trying to freeze the lock open with water to using one of his last firecrackers in an explosive attempt that fills the house with smoke but fails to crack the stubborn lock. As Molly tries to maintain her patience, Fibber launches into a rambling story about his cousin Ellsworth and their ill-fated dynamite adventures. With their departure scheduled for tomorrow morning, the McGees' vacation plans hang in the balance over one stubbornly locked suitcase.

  5. Mouse In The House

    Oct 7, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: June 16, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #330, "Mouse In The House," domestic tranquility at 79 Wistful Vista is shattered when Molly spots a mouse and finds herself perched atop a table in terror. Fibber, determined to prove his superior intellect against the tiny rodent, dismisses simple solutions like mousetraps in favor of his own elaborate schemes. Despite Molly's pleas for a straightforward approach and her firm refusal to allow any violent methods like shotguns or rifles in the house, Fibber insists on outthinking the creature with increasingly complicated plans. Little Teeny stops by to share news about being a veil-holder at Channely Soopster's upcoming wedding, but even her innocent suggestion about using a mousetrap falls on deaf ears. Fibber's campaign against the mouse reaches absurd heights as he constructs an elaborate Rube Goldberg-style contraption involving a dinner bell, folded newspapers, an electric fan, a stuffed owl, and playing cards. His convoluted logic suggests the mouse will think it's Sunday when it hears the bell, follow the newspaper path, trigger the fan, mistake itself for a field mouse, and die of fright when confronted by the owl. As Molly questions this increasingly ridiculous plan, the chaos continues to unfold.

  6. Pot Roast For Dinner

    Oct 6, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: June 9, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #329, "Pot Roast For Dinner," Fibber is ravenously hungry and eagerly awaiting Molly's perfectly timed pot roast, which she insists needs exactly seventeen more minutes to reach perfection. Just as the meal is nearly ready and the delicious aroma fills the house, an unwelcome visitor arrives at the door. Mayor La Trivia drops by ostensibly to get Fibber's opinion on the new bulletin board at City Hall, but his real interest quickly becomes apparent as he lingers and hints broadly about his bachelor's appetite and love of informal kitchen dinners. As Molly dashes back and forth to check on the roast, Fibber desperately tries to hustle the Mayor out the door, insisting he's in a hurry and even claiming he personally dislikes pot roast. The Mayor, however, proves remarkably obtuse to Fibber's hints, settling in comfortably and waxing poetic about the virtues of working up an appetite with a brisk walk. With only enough pot roast prepared for two and dinner growing dangerously close to being overdone, the situation grows increasingly tense.

  7. Uncle Dennis Has Disappeared Part 2

    Oct 5, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: June 2, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #328, "Uncle Dennis Has Disappeared Part 2," the McGees continue their frantic search for Fibber's missing uncle, who vanished nine days earlier wearing Fibber's wristwatch. The investigation takes a peculiar turn when Officer Smaltz arrives with news from a Turkish bath owner. It seems Uncle Dennis went in for an alcohol rub on the night he disappeared, but while he was being treated, a small dog named Peepy ran off with all his clothes. Left with nothing but his shorts, socks, and a walking stick, the hapless uncle departed the establishment, leaving behind Fibber's gold wristwatch as payment. Fibber fumes about his missing timepiece while Molly searches Uncle Dennis's room for clues. The search is interrupted by neighbor Sis, who enthusiastically announces her plans to become a nurse in response to the government's call for fifty-four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine women to enter nursing schools for national defense. Despite Fibber's skepticism about her qualifications, Sis insists she's been practicing on her dolls and could even drive an ambulance, leading to a humorous debate about women drivers.

  8. Uncle Dennis Has Disappeared Part 1

    Oct 4, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: May 26, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #327, "Uncle Dennis Has Disappeared Part 1," panic sets in at 79 Wistful Vista when Molly's Uncle Dennis goes missing for two days. While Molly genuinely worries about her father's brother, Fibber's concern suddenly intensifies when he discovers Uncle Dennis was last seen wearing his brand new gray suit. The McGees decide to spring into action, calling Joe's Tavern where Uncle Dennis is a regular patron, though they get no answer. Mayor LaTrivia arrives just in time to help, and the McGees enlist his aid in launching an official search. Fibber provides a less-than-flattering description of Uncle Dennis, noting his fondness for drink and the fact that he's been living with them as a permanent houseguest. LaTrivia immediately calls the police department to broadcast the description over police radio, adding the peculiar detail that Uncle Dennis was last seen wearing a silk lampshade on his head. As the search begins, the mystery deepens when Joe's Tavern reports that Uncle Dennis acted very strangely during his last visit.

  9. Fibber Is Going To Be Rich

    Oct 3, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: May 19, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #326, "Fibber Is Going To Be Rich," Fibber and Molly face a mounting stack of bills they can't pay, with their bank balance dangerously low and creditors circling. Just as Molly worries about their financial straits, Fibber returns home bursting with excitement and a mysterious piece of paper in his pocket that he claims will solve all their problems. He insists that starting next year, their money troubles will be over forever, promising Molly mink coats, diamonds, and a life of luxury. As Fibber tantalizes Molly with visions of wintering in Palm Beach and summering at Lake Louise, the stuffy Mrs. Uppington drops by and becomes curious about their sudden windfall. Fibber brags to their wealthy neighbor about his impending fortune, but he remains maddeningly vague about the actual source of this wealth. With proof supposedly in hand and grand plans already forming, Fibber seems convinced they're about to join high society, though the details of his get-rich scheme remain frustratingly unclear to both Molly and their bemused visitor.

  10. The Spy

    Oct 2, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: May 12, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #325, "Spy," Fibber McGee is convinced that a mysterious, dark-complected man with a camera is a foreign spy trailing him around Wistful Vista. Everywhere McGee goes—the Elks Club, the railroad station, the powerhouse, the bridge—the suspicious stranger appears, snapping pictures with his concealed camera. When McGee reports his concerns to Mayor LaTrivia, Molly tries to inject some reason into the situation, suggesting her husband might be jumping to conclusions. LaTrivia initially agrees to investigate but backs off when he learns McGee would need to sign a formal complaint, warning him about potential legal consequences if he's wrong. Undeterred, Fibber decides to gather evidence himself by watching the stranger from his own house. As the mysterious photographer continues lurking across the street focusing his camera on the McGee front door, Fibber's paranoia grows. He even worries the spy might be after his top-secret invention for the Signal Corps—a triple-cross bird combining a homing pigeon, woodpecker, and parrot to deliver military messages.

  11. Sugar Substitute

    Oct 1, 2026 · 28 min

    Originally Aired: May 5, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #324, "Sugar Substitute," Fibber sets up a makeshift chemistry laboratory in his living room at 79 Wistful Vista, determined to help the war effort by discovering a substitute for sugar. With wartime rationing affecting sugar supplies from the Philippines and other sources, Fibber becomes convinced he can reverse the chemical process that converts sugar into alcohol. As he mixes various concoctions filled with muriatic acid, sodium chloride, and other household chemicals, Molly grows increasingly exasperated with the terrible smells and potential damage to her home. The Old Timer stops by and makes wisecracks about Fibber's experiments, while Mayor La Trivia arrives to ensure Molly has registered for her sugar ration card. Fibber's haphazard approach to chemistry produces more disasters than discoveries, including accidentally ruining Molly's poetry book with tannic acid. Despite everyone's skepticism about his scientific abilities, Fibber remains convinced his experiments will yield results, even if he ends up discovering substitutes for rubber or silk instead. The situation grows more chaotic as Fibber's chemical mishaps threaten to damage everything and everyone around him.

  12. Old Straw Hat

    Sep 30, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: April 28, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #323, "Old Straw Hat," Fibber becomes obsessed with cleaning his worn-out straw hat from last summer rather than buying a new one, insisting it's his patriotic duty to conserve during wartime. Despite Molly's gentle suggestions that the shabby hat looks terrible and that buying a new one for $2.95 would be perfectly acceptable, Fibber stubbornly declares he'll make it look like new. He calls Kramer's drugstore seeking cleaning solutions and tries various household remedies, including peroxide and even Lillian the car's curry comb, with disastrous fuzzy results. The situation grows more complicated when young Teeny stops by selling vegetable seeds for victory gardens. Her earnest patriotic speech about doing one's part for the war effort and avoiding "calluses on our hearts" convinces Fibber to buy two dollars worth of seeds. Now committed to both his hat-cleaning project and starting a victory garden, Fibber faces the challenge of following through on his grand conservation plans while Molly watches his efforts with patient amusement.

  13. Take Me Out To The Ball Game

    Sep 29, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: April 21, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #322, "Take Me Out To The Ball Game," Molly is eager to attend the opening game of the baseball season, particularly hoping to see star pitcher Zernickey in action. She challenges Fibber's boastful claims about his influence as Chamber of Commerce president when he insists the park is sold out. Rather than simply buying tickets like "common people," Fibber pompously declares he'll get them in on passes or not at all, setting himself up for a dilemma when he has no actual plan to deliver on his promise. As Fibber scrambles to figure out how to get into the sold-out game, the McGees receive visits from Mrs. Uppington and the Old Timer. Mrs. Uppington offers baseball tickets, but they're for the wrong day. She's too busy with important charity work for United China Relief to attend today's game, which leads to a humbling moment for Fibber about what truly matters. Meanwhile, the clock ticks toward game time, and Fibber still hasn't figured out how to make good on his guarantee to get Molly into the ballpark.

  14. Spring Festival Parade

    Sep 28, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: April 14, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #321, "Spring Festival Parade," Fibber McGee is preparing to lead Wistful Vista's Spring Festival Parade as Grand Marshal, the honor falling to him simply because he's the only man in town who owns a white horse - his portly mare, Lillian. At the costume shop with Molly, McGee enthusiastically selects a fancy western outfit complete with silver-mounted saddle, chaps, and sombrero, while Molly opts for a Little Bo Peep costume. McGee plans to ride Lillian while she pulls a decorated sulky carrying Molly behind him. The couple encounters the ever-pompous Abigail Uppington, who reveals she'll be riding on the women's club float dressed as Paul Revere, adding to the day's festivities. As parade time approaches, McGee's confidence about his horsemanship runs high, despite Molly's concerns about Lillian's nervous disposition and her husband's tendency to show off. McGee boasts about teaching Lillian tricks and demonstrates his usual bravado, but whether his grand plans for leading the parade will go smoothly remains to be seen, especially given Lillian's skittish nature and McGee's overconfidence in the saddle.

  15. Scrap Drive

    Sep 27, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: April 7, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #320, "Scrap Drive," Fibber and Molly are in their garage grooming their beloved horse Lillian when Mrs. Uppington stops by with an important wartime request. As chairwoman of the Wistful Vista Reclamation Committee, she asks them to search their home for salvageable materials—paper, rags, metal, and rubber—that can help the government make ships, tanks, guns, and ammunition. The McGees eagerly agree to have their contributions ready for pickup at four o'clock. The couple turns their attention to the infamous hall closet, that overstuffed repository of forgotten treasures and junk. As they carefully open it and begin sorting through decades of accumulated items, they uncover everything from an old aluminum coffee pot to Fibber's ukulele, which sparks an amusing disagreement about his pre-marriage serenading. With Mr. Wilcox arriving to help, the McGees create three piles for rubber, metal, and paper, discovering just how much they can contribute to the war effort while clearing out their cluttered closet.

  16. Latherino Soap Contest

    Sep 26, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: March 31, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #319, "Latherino Soap Contest," Fibber's eyes light up with dollar signs when he discovers a contest offering $5,000 a year for life. All he has to do is complete the sentence "I like to wash my dishes in Latherino because..." in twenty-five words or less. Despite Molly's skepticism about this being his ninety-seventh contest entry, Fibber enthusiastically dons an apron and tackles the dishes with newfound vigor, washing them multiple times while desperately trying to craft the perfect entry. As Fibber experiments with various phrases praising Latherino's cleaning power and pleasant scent, visitors drop by the McGee kitchen. Old Timer stops in trying to peddle his hand-dyed Easter eggs, and Mrs. Uppington arrives to witness Fibber's domestic transformation. The contest-obsessed Fibber remains focused on his prize-winning words, but when Mrs. Uppington helpfully adjusts his apron strings, disaster strikes. The visit takes an unfortunate turn involving Molly's cherished family dishes, some over a hundred years old, threatening to make this contest attempt more costly than profitable.

  17. Fibber Writes A Song

    Sep 25, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: March 24, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #318, "Fibber Writes A Song," patriotic fervor strikes 79 Wistful Vista as Fibber sets out to pen a wartime musical masterpiece. Armed with his typewriter and boundless confidence, he tackles "The Defense Stamp Stomp," though he quickly learns that songwriting may not be his forte. After Mayor La Trivia stops by searching for his lost Phi Beta Kappa key—leading to a befuddling conversation about pins versus keys—Molly suggests enlisting Mr. Wimple's poetic talents to help with the lyrics while Billy Mills handles the music. The trouble is, Fibber keeps accidentally plagiarizing existing songs, from "There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding" to "Ballad for Americans." As they set off to recruit their collaborators on a pleasant spring day, Fibber insists on his one crucial contribution: the title itself. But with the government changing "defense stamps" to "war bonds," even that may need revision. What follows is a classic McGee misadventure in creative ambition meeting questionable execution.

  18. Building A Footstool

    Sep 24, 2026 · 29 min

    Originally Aired: March 10, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #317, "Building A Footstool," Fibber becomes determined to build Molly a footstool from scratch rather than let her buy the perfectly good one she's spotted in an advertisement for $12.95. Convinced of his superior carpentry skills, he dismisses the advertised footstool as a "rickety unseasoned hammer scratch" piece of junk and orders woodworking tools from the hardware store. When Old Timer delivers the supplies, there's the usual confusion over the bill, which somehow includes an 85 cents charge for coffee. Fibber plans to work in the living room, but Molly worries he'll wake Uncle Dennis, who's napping upstairs after discovering his gin rummy outing was actually about card games rather than the beverage. The McGees receive a visit from their elegant neighbor Mrs. Uppington, who invites them to a fish dinner featuring mountain trout from her brother. This prompts Fibber to launch into one of his trademark tall tales about catching a big trout from the Pahooshka Pool using a Mac truck full of sponges. After securing the dinner invitation, Fibber returns to his woodworking project, proudly announcing he's sawed off two legs for the footstool, though Molly points out she was hoping for four.

  19. Boomer’s Suitcase

    Sep 23, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: March 3, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #316, "Boomer's Suitcase," When the shady Horatio K. Boomer stops by 79 Wistful Vista fresh from a stint doing government work as an "Arkansas geologist" (breaking big rocks into little rocks), he asks Fibber and Molly to safeguard a mysterious locked suitcase for a few days. Boomer spins a dubious tale about the suitcase belonging to his dear old aunt who is moving because her husband's basement printing press was making too much noise—the kind of noise that might be heard all the way in Washington, D.C. Despite Molly's insistence that they respect Boomer's trust and leave the locked suitcase alone, both she and Fibber grow increasingly curious about its contents. Are they hiding counterfeit money, stolen goods, or something even more suspicious? As their curiosity gets the better of them, the McGees hatch a plan to accidentally knock the suitcase off the bookcase, hoping it will spring open when it hits the floor. Their scheme is interrupted when neighbor Abigail Uppington arrives to inquire about Lillian, the horse the McGees recently purchased, leading to the usual confusion and comedic misunderstandings.

  20. Fibber Buys A Horse

    Sep 22, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: February 24, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #315, "Fibber Buys A Horse," In this episode, Fibber becomes convinced that the solution to his worn-out automobile tires is purchasing a horse. Despite Molly's skepticism about his equestrian knowledge and practical objections about where they'd keep such an animal, Fibber remains undeterred. He regales Molly with dubious tales of his farm upbringing and his skills with horses, though she remembers the truth behind his rodeo story quite differently. When a hay delivery arrives at the McGee residence, Fibber claims it's for stuffing their tires, but his real intentions become increasingly transparent. The situation grows more complicated when neighbor Mrs. Uppington asks to use their garage for her brother's car during his visit. Fibber's irritation at this intrusion seems suspiciously intense, and Molly notices his nervous behavior as he makes repeated trips to the garage with pails of water. Though Fibber promises Molly he won't buy a horse, his evasive answers and slip-ups suggest he may have already made the purchase, leaving Molly to wonder what exactly is waiting in their garage.

  21. Fibber’s Home Movie

    Sep 21, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: February 17, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #314, "Fibber's Home Movie," Fibber has decided that what America needs in these troubled times is laughter, and he's just the man to provide it. Still smarting from his limited role in the Bob Hope film "Look Who's Laughing," Fibber is convinced Hollywood producers didn't give him a proper chance to showcase his comedic talents. His solution is to create his own home movie screen test using a newly purchased camera from the Wistful Vista Home Movie Company. Despite Molly's skepticism and protests, she reluctantly agrees to operate the camera while Fibber performs what he considers hilarious physical comedy routines. What follows is a series of increasingly disastrous stunts as Fibber attempts to prove his comic genius. He dashes through doors wearing funny hats, tangles himself in lamp cords, and attempts to slide down the banister, sailing across the hall and collecting bruises and cuts in the process. As Molly administers iodine to his wounds, Fibber remains undeterred, already planning his next dangerous stunt involving jumping off the roof with an umbrella as a parachute. The Old Timer drops by as Fibber continues defending his natural talent for comedy.

  22. Valentine Candy

    Sep 20, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: February 10, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #313, "Valentine Candy," Molly receives a mysterious delivery of four pounds of her favorite Valentine candy, and naturally assumes the thoughtful gift came from her husband. There's just one problem: Fibber doesn't remember sending it. Rather than admit the truth and disappoint his wife, McGee plays along, accepting credit for the romantic gesture while privately puzzling over who actually sent the candy. His confusion grows as Molly gushes over his thoughtfulness and keeps diving into the delicious box. As Fibber tries to sort out the mystery, he navigates visits from the Old Timer, who's working as caretaker at the recreation center and trying to sell additional valentines, and Mayor LaTrivia, who arrives to scold McGee about a parking ticket. The situation becomes increasingly awkward as Fibber attempts to maintain the charade while desperately trying to figure out the candy's true origin before his secret is revealed.

  23. Molly’s Lost Diamond Ring

    Originally Aired: February 3, 1942 In Fibber McGee & Molly #312, "Molly's Lost Diamond Ring," panic sets in at 79 Wistful Vista when Molly discovers her precious engagement ring has vanished from her finger. She's certain she had it on that morning and hasn't left the house, but now it's nowhere to be found. McGee springs into action, sifting through fireplace ashes grain by grain and getting covered in soot for his trouble. The search intensifies as they prepare to turn the house upside down with carpet sweepers and vacuum cleaners. The hunt is briefly interrupted by neighbor Abigail Uppington, who shares a romantic story about her own Shakespearean theater days and a suitor named T. Jarvis who promised to return someday and toss pebbles at her window. Meanwhile, McGee worries he might have sleepwalked and thrown the ring through someone's window himself. As the frantic house cleaning continues, Molly insists nothing is truly lost until you stop looking for it, and the McGees remain determined to locate the missing diamond.

  24. Blizzard

    Sep 18, 2026 · 31 min

    Originally Aired: January 27, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #311, "Blizzard," the worst snowstorm in seventy-six years has buried Wistful Vista, with drifts piled up to the second-floor windows. While Fibber and Molly settle in comfortably by the fire, a mysterious stranger named George Spelvin arrives at their door seeking refuge from the brutal cold. Spelvin reveals he carries an urgent message from the governor himself and asks whether Fibber owns a car. Despite Molly's teasing about the vehicle's questionable condition, Fibber insists his automobile is in tip-top shape and ready for duty. As Spelvin attempts to deliver his important message, the cozy evening is repeatedly interrupted by visitors braving the storm. The Old Timer stops by looking to borrow a hot poker for an unusual rescue mission involving his girlfriend Francis, who has apparently gotten buried in a snowdrift. Between interruptions, cups of coffee, and Molly's struggles with her knitting project for soldiers, the true nature of the governor's urgent request remains tantalizingly unclear, leaving Fibber eager to discover what mission awaits him in the blizzard.

  25. Mrs Uppington’s Window Part 2

    Sep 17, 2026 · 30 min

    Originally Aired: January 20, 1942 Fibber McGee & Molly #310, "Mrs Uppington's Window Part 2," Fibber finds himself in quite a predicament as he tries to determine whether he actually threw a rock through Mrs. Uppington's window or merely dreamed the whole incident. His solution is to recreate the exact circumstances of that fateful evening, starting with duplicating the enormous meal he consumed. Molly dutifully agrees to prepare the feast again, which includes everything from pre-dinner snacks of olives, ham, and a pineapple soda to a full dinner of pork chops, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and upside-down cake. Meanwhile, young Teeny stops by and reveals a troubling clue: Fibber had borrowed Willie Toops' slingshot last summer to deal with a noisy cat, making him a prime suspect in the window-breaking case. As Fibber prepares to reenact his dream by wearing the same purple pajamas and retracing his steps, the mystery deepens. Mrs. Uppington herself pays a visit to 79 Wistful Vista, leaving Fibber anxious about whether she's come to confront him about her broken window or for some other purpose entirely.
