In 1941, a new year begins, and it's a new year to start worrying about finances. Fibber and Molly make a withdrawal at the bank and to show off, Fibber takes it in a crisp, new $100 bill. When the two try to catch a ride on the trolley, Fibber drops his only quarter. Now he can't pay, since all the cash he has on him is the large bill, and nowhere to cash it in. Vodiodo McGee brags to Mrs Uppington about his glorious past, but still no change. After a musical interlude by Billy Mills, we find the McGee's walking home. They stop to chat with the Old Timer. They also spend a few moments chatting with Harlow Wilcox about the sponsor, of course, but still no ride. Teeny tags along, and Fibber tries to con her out of a few pennies of er pocket change. Not enough for a ride, but enough to make a phone call to get help from Gildersleeves. But first a talk with Mert, the operator.
The Kingsmen sing, I Hear a Rhapsody. After his failed phone call connection, Fibber has a run in with Boomer. He seems to have about everything except change for a hundred dollars. Will our heros finally make ithome? Will Fibber ever get change for his hundred dollar bill? Don't miss the ironic twist ending to this comedy.
Bonus Track: Ben Selvin. 1926, I Can't Give You Anything but Love.
PS: I took the older shows off the server. Starting this Friday there will be an extra show on Fridays. Once I begin that, I'll be taking even more off as I need to to make space. By the end of April, we'l only be carrying about 5 months or so instead of the usual 6 months. Just leaving a reminder for our web page visiters.
