Announcer introduction: "It wasn't easy for a girl as young as Rosie to meet the situation at the Goldberg house... the elements in it were adult, confused... veiled with fraud and hypocrisy... and Rosie's most intimate feelings, her deepest loyalties were involved... But Rosie met it... met it by taking a few bold steps... First, she told a certain George to stay away from the Goldberg house... then she went to her sister-in-law, Grace... who Rosie felt was somehow involved with George and frankly told Grace that it was time to stop this. A child is on the way... Sammy is overseas... and as a good will gesture Rosie offered Grace the money that George and Grace had schemed to get... So Rosie was in effect, outwitted... but Rosie feels she did the right thing and Rosie still doesn't suspect the depths around her... Listen..."
