Plot

Jockey Johnny Longden and his wife, Hazel Longdon, appear as themselves in this episode, in which Ricky (Desi Arnaz) is chosen to present a loving cup to Longden at a dinner for the National Turf Association. Having been chided for purchasing what Ricky regards as a ridiculous-looking hat, Lucy (Lucille Ball) jokingly places the loving cup on herself -- and then can't get it off! The situation reaches outrageous heights when Lucy tries to hide her "adornment" while riding on a subway train in search of a silversmith who will extricate our heroine from her dilemma. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
