Halloween Party At Gildersleeve’s House

Originally Aired: October 24, 1939

Fibber McGee & Molly #219, "Halloween Party At Gildersleeve's House,"

Fibber and Molly McGee attend a festive Halloween party thrown by their neighbor, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, where Wistful Vista's society mingles with plenty of mischief. Fibber wastes no time making himself at home, snooping through Gildersleeve's dresser drawers and desk in search of cigars and discovering his host's personal correspondence, including a shocking tailor bill. Fellow guest Horatio K. Boomer entertains with magic tricks that go suspiciously awry when a borrowed five-dollar bill vanishes permanently, while the Old Timer drops by to share his peculiar brand of humor.

The evening's entertainment takes a mysterious turn when Mrs. Uppington prepares to read Fibber's palm. As the guests gather around and Fibber extends his hand for his fortune to be told, the party atmosphere buzzes with anticipation about what revelations the society matron might discover in McGee's lifeline.
