A dramatized radio adaptation of the 1938 RKO Radio Pictures production. In New York City at the museum of Natural History, a professor by the name of David Hatcher Huxley, the 'Curator of Fossil Reptiles' is absently wiggling the jaw bone of a reconstructed skeleton, when he is approached by Miss Alice Swallow, who reminds him that he needs to meet a lawyer, Mr Alexander Peabody, to try and secure a $1 million donation for the museum. It's the beginning of a hilarious adventure between him and Mr Peabody's ward, Susan Vance.
