Plot

When a fan magazine decides to write an article on "average day" in the life of Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), Ricky's wife, Lucy (Lucille Ball), and their friends Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) insist upon creating a good (read: false) impression by dressing to the nines and putting on airs. The situation deteriorates when, as part of a publicity stunt tied in with the article, Ricky mails out thousands of cards to the women on the Tropicana's mailing list, promising a "special dance" to each of them if they show up at the club. Jumping to the wrong conclusion, Lucy decides to track down one of the invitees, a woman named Minnie Finch (played by Kathryn Card, before she was established in the recurring role of Lucy's mother, Mrs. McGillicuddy). ~ All Movie Guide
