Description
Fibber McGee and Molly presents “Election Day,” episode 260, originally broadcast November 5, 1940. In this NBC comedy written by Don Quinn, Jim and Marian Jordan star as Fibber and Molly McGee.
When 79 Wistful Vista becomes the Thirteenth Precinct polling place, the McGees take on election-official duties while familiar neighbors arrive to vote.
