In this episode of "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show," titled "Divorce Attorney," audiences are in for another whimsical and hilarious adventure with the charming comedy duo.

Harry, a successful divorce attorney, has recently defended a client in an interesting case that George finds quite peculiar. Curiosity piqued, George proceeds to ask Harry about the case, hoping for some juicy details. However, Gracie, being Gracie, misunderstands the conversation and believes that George wants to divorce her.
Now convinced that George is serious about divorcing her, Gracie jumps into action to find the best attorney to represent her. She enlists the help of her neighbor Tootsie Sagwell (played by Elvia Allman), who suggests hiring her eccentric brother-in-law, Edgar Sagwell (played by Sam Hearn), as Gracie's divorce attorney. The ever-helpful Tootsie arranges a meeting between Gracie and Edgar at George and Gracie's home.

Gracie, oblivious to Edgar's unusual qualities, is convinced that she has found the perfect attorney to handle her case.
Meanwhile, Harry realizes the misunderstanding that caused Gracie to pursue a divorce attorney and frantically tries to clear up the confusion. When he arrives at George and Gracie's house, he finds himself caught up in the whirlwind of zany antics, as George and Edgar continuosly clash over their differing views on marriage and the concept of divorce.
As the episode progresses, George attempts to explain to Gracie that he had no intention of divorcing her. However, Gracie remains steadfast in her belief, humorously dismissing George's explanations and insisting on moving forward with the divorce proceedings.
