    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During contractual negotiations with CBS for a second season of "The Lucy Show," Lucille Ball signed for $30,000 to co-star in "The Lucille Ball Comedy Hour" to be aired in the spring of 1964.
    • Goofs
      John Dehner (Mr. Henderson) says that name of his firm is "Henderson Beane Grisby and Smith" instead of what Lucy previously said, "Henderson Grisby Beane and Smith." When Bob Hope mentions the firm, he gets the names in the same order as Dehner, so likely Lucy is the one who jumbled the list.
