The Goldbergs: Episode 1529. Date: August 5, 1943. Cast: Gertrude Berg (Molly Goldberg); James R. Waters (Jake Goldberg); Roslyn Silber (Rosalie Goldberg); Alfred Ryder (Sammy Goldberg); Menasha Skulnik (Uncle David).
Announcer introduction: "Molly, the great experimenter, having put George at the head of a committee for juvenile delinquency... having seen to it that all checks are made payable to him... knows she is playing with fire. But this is just like Molly, who always thinks of giving people a second chance before condemning them forever. For you see, George, unknown to Grace, his partner in crime, has confessed to the Goldbergs that he -- not Sammy -- is Grace's husband, and that he and Grace took advantage of Jake and Molly's warm hearts to swindle them. With George's confession safe in her heart, Molly wants to save Grace too, and one of the ways is through temptation... Grace has already managed to get the committee's money from George, and as a safeguard against the girl running away with it, during the night, Molly has moved into Grace's room to sleep with her... Listen..."
Announcer close: "The late hours... and the strain have strung Rosie's nerves tight... and anything can make them hum with terror... but in the dark hall... with the closed door before her... anything evil seems possible... and why doesn't Molly answer?"
