Radio Gals is set in the late 1920’s, concerning an enterprising woman, Hazel Hunt, of Cedar Ridge, ArkansasUpon her retirement as the town music teacher, she receives a Western Electric 500 watt radio transmitter and begins broadcasting as radio station WGAL. What c
omes out over the local airwaves is a small town diary, calendar, and stream of consciousness -- sort of a Molly Bloom crossed with the Farmers’ Almanac -- with generous dollops of singing and playing by Hazel’s "all-girl" orchestra, the Hazelnuts, and that lovesick flapper Gladys Fritts. However, due to Hazel’s habit of "channel wandering" her broadcasts are not always so local and listeners as far away as Montreal and Manhattan can testify. Abbott, Federal Radio Inspector, intent on rescuing the airwaves from gypsies like Hazel Hunt. Abbott soon falls prey to the blandishments of the Hazelnuts and Cedar Ridge. Cast:
