I Love Lucy

To celebrate the Mertzes' wedding anniversary, Fred and Ricky want to go to a prizefight, but the girls want to get dressed up and go to a nightclub. An argument ensues and Lucy threatens to find two other escorts if their husbands won't take them.

Lucy decides Ricky's love is growing cold so she takes Ethel's advice she learned from a book, How to Keep the Honeymoon from Ending. Her attempt to dress up for breakfast doesn't yield any response from Ricky.

One of the girls in Ricky's show quits, creating a vacancy which Lucy wants to fill. She goes down for an audition and can have the part provided she loses twelve ponds in four days to fit into the previous singer's size 12 outfit.

Lucy is reading "The Mockingbird Murder Mystery" when Ethel reads her fortune and tells her death is near. Later she overhears a conversation between Ricky and his agent and she jumps to the wrong conclusion that he's trying to do away with her.

After Ricky cuts off her allowance, Lucy goes on the radio show "Females Are Fabulous" to earn money; in order to win the money, she has to make Ricky believe she's been married before.

Lucy wants to be in Ricky's act when an injured Buffo the Clown arrives at her apartment; she performs a slapstick routine with Ricky and a cello, and impersonates a seal; everyone is shocked when a TV network offers her a contract.
