The annual talent show for the Wednesday Afternoon Fine Arts League is going to be televised this year, and Lucy and Ethel are going to perform a duet. Everything is going well as Lucy gets Ricky to emcee the show and help her and Ethel prepare.

Lucy and Ethel are tired of their dishpan hands and demand dishwashers from their husbands. They also don't think the Society Matrons League, a club they want to join, would approve. Their husbands believe they have it easy compared to the olden days.

With her baby due any moment, Lucy finds it challenging trying to remain calm given Ricky's nervous behavior. When she asks the Mertzes to come over to offset Ricky, she winds up with three very anxious people.
