Our Miss Brooks - "Taxi Fare (AFRS)" (Old Time Radio, 1955)

Our Miss Brooks, “Taxi Fare” (AFRS), originally broadcast June 19, 1955, is episode 294. Eve Arden stars as Madison High English teacher Connie Brooks, with Gale Gordon as the formidable Principal Osgood Conklin. With school out and her summer plans uncertain, Connie is left short of cash after a borrowed car breaks down. A taxi ride brings persistent driver Fred Finch into the picture, and Connie’s efforts to settle the fare lead to more comic complications involving Conklin and an anticipated school-board visitor. This surviving AFRS transcription is also known as “Debt to a Taxi Driver.” Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
