Grace originally came to the Goldbergs, posing as the war bride of Molly's son, who is in Africa. But Grace's real husband, George, who came to Lastenbury to help his wife in a little confidence game, has confessed to Molly, and right now he and Molly are trying to get Grace to straighten her life out. Meanwhile, Grace doesn't know that her secret is out... Molly, in an effort to prove her theory that people can reform, has, with the help of Constable Newton, placed George at the head of a committee on juvenile delinquency... all checks to be made payable to him... but Grace is still Grace... already she has persuaded George to let her take care of the money, and Jake and Rosie are worried... Listen..."
Announcer close: "It looks as if Molly is losing a little of her all-out faith in Grace's reformation... and if this is so, then no one is left who has any hope for the girl..."
