When Ricky cuts off Lucy's allowance and charge accounts because of her careless spending, Lucy finds herself short of funds. Ethel has tickets to a radio quiz show that has a cash prize of $1,000.

Ricky agrees reluctantly to host a new television show, sponsored by Phipps Department Store, and learns they'd like him to host with his wife Lucy. When Lucy finds out that Ricky didn't want her in the show, she sets out to sabotage the program.

Lucy and Ethel are sick of their husbands dressing like slobs when they go out together in the evenings. After one particular outing, the girls get fed up and give their old clothes to a second-hand store.

Chip Jackson of MGM asks Ricky to perform at a party but he refuses in favor of a deep-sea fishing retreat. Lucy has a better idea - she tells Mr. Jackson that Ricky would be glad to appear.
