Before their divorce becomes final,LED Bulb, Jerry and Lucy Warriner both do their best to ruin each other's plans for remarriage, Jerry to haughty socialite Molly Lamont, she to oil-rich bumpkin Daniel Leeson. Custody of the dog keeps Jerry close to Lucy, and Lucy impersonates his 'sister' to foil his budding romance with Molly. Soon, it's a madcap race to bring the lovebirds back together.

‘The Awful Truth’ epitomizes the screwball comedies of the late 30's and 40's, as remembered in the movie with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. The play was written in 1921, and Sydnie Grosberg Ronga has adapted the story for radio. The story begins with a happy married couple, Jerry and Lucy Warriner, who find themselves headed to divorce court when they begin to doubt each other's fidelity. They file for divorce quickly, but soon regret their hasty actions.

Gotham Radio Theatre’s debut season showcased a wide variety of theatrical styles ranging from the sophistication of Noel Coward’s ‘Fallen Angels’ to the country comedy ‘No Time For Sergeant’s. The second season also offers a range of styles beginning with the screwball comedy, ‘The Awful Truth’ by Arthur Richman. This comedy is followed by the famous thriller, ‘Sorry, Wrong Number’ by Lucille Fletcher. Agnes Morehead’s famous radio version was showcased on ‘Suspense’ and was so popular it was reprised 6 times! The show slated for December is a loving look at ‘Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer’. It’s a classic tale presented with a hint of parody and vintage 1964 commercials.
