Hanging the Curtains from a Stepladder

In this domestic comedy from September 16, 1935, Fibber McGee and Molly tackle the challenges of settling into their new home at 79 Wistful Vista. The focus of the day? Hanging curtains—a seemingly simple task that turns into a laugh-filled fiasco as Fibber’s antics with a stepladder, rods, and curtains create chaos.

As Molly tries to maintain order, unexpected visitors and phone calls interrupt the proceedings, including a humorous visit from Mr. Bartleford of the Chamber of Commerce, who inadvertently becomes the audience for one of Fibber’s tall tales about his days as a shoe tree entrepreneur. This remastered episode perfectly captures the charm and wit of Fibber McGee & Molly, blending relatable household mishaps with Fibber’s signature storytelling.
