Sponsored by Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a patent laxative, "Monticello Party Line" was a soap opera based around the small-town lives of Monticello, Illinois, the location where the Dr. Caldwell company was headquartered. (Goldin, by the way, in his listings for two episodes of the series, incorrectly conjectures that the setting might be Monticello, California.) The program is based around a telephone "party line", though the actual party line itself is only used as a plot device on occasion in the episodes. The stories revolve around the problems of couples Curley and Aggie Peters and Clem and Sara Tuttle and people in the town. At times, the show sounds like it was influenced by character driven comedy serials, like "Vic and Sade" or "Lum and Abner", and, with other characters moving in and out of the town, more of a traditional women's soap opera.
