Ricky scoffs at his wife and Ethel when they adamantly participate in the hunt for the "Bonus Buck" that will win them prize money from a newspaper contest. Later, Ricky discovers one of the lucky bucks in his own wallet.

Hurt that no one seems to care for his home movies, Ricky declares that he will never show them another feature of his...not even the TV pilot he's creating. Jealous of his project, Lucy enables the help of the Mertzes and creates her own musical western.

Lucy plays the dominant parent role in their son's life. Realizing that he needs to spend more time with his son, Ricky agrees to spend his vacation at home to care for little Ricky.

Lucy appears in Hedda Hopper's gossip column.

In an attempt to compete with her wealthy friends, Lucy pledges $500 (that she doesn't have) to charity. Luckily, Ethel spots an ad in Billboard magazine willing to pay $500 to anyone willing to perform a stunt to publicize a new movie, Women From Mars.

Lucy and Ethel go to Palm Springs; guest Rock Hudson.
