The Ricardos and the Mertzes are excited to travel into New York this Saturday night to see the hit play The Most Happy Fella. Trouble abounds, however, when Lucy realizes at 7:30 pm that their tickets were for the afternoon matinee. After the girls eat extra slowly to try and stall so they'd miss the beginning of the show, the truth comes out, and the gang tries to buy four more tickets to the sold-out show. By a chance of luck, there are two tickets available, so Lucy and Ethel go and watch the first half of the show, and Ricky and Fred are scheduled to watch the second half.
After the first act ends, Lucy notices two empty seats behind her, so she and Ethel sneak back in to the show after the second act starts. Unfortunately, the late couple who rightly own the girls' seats arrive shortly after, and the foursome end up being squished by sharing two people to a seat. Lucy then accidentally knocks Ethel's purse off the balcony. When she retrieves it, Ethel is horrified to learn that it's not her purse but some other lady's. When they find the rightful owner of the purse, the woman thinks Lucy and Ethel stole her purse. Ethel then thinks that the woman stole the rent money Fred supposedly put into her purse. Fred tells Ethel that he only pretended to put the money in her purse, and that it has been with him the entire time. All is well, it seems? Not quite. The manager overhears the foursome's seat scam, so Ricky is forced to pay for four seats. Then, as everyone goes to head back in to watch the rest of the play, the theater doors open, signaling the play's end.
•Fred was indeed right that the main character in The Most Happy Fella is not married. That's all we ever learn about the play, other than that the single guy wrote some kind of letter.
•Lucy fans will recognize the theater manager as Joseph Kearns the same actor who played Dr. Tom Robinson in "The Kleptomaniac." Kearns went on to costar in Dennis the Menace as the first Mr. Wilson eventually being replaced by Gale Gordon who played Ricky's boss Mr Littlefield
•The matinee tickets the gang ended up not being able to use were downstairs, sixth row center in Row F, Orchestra seats 104-107.
•At Meegham's Chop House, Lucy and Ethel order roast beef (medium) with mashed potatoes and lima beans, because the meal is already prepared and Fred and Ricky were running late.
•Everyone should chew their food thoroughly (around 25 times) before swallowing, just like the animals do, because hot food is bad for the stomach. You also should peel lima beans "to get the most out of them." The nutrients lie underneath the "upper epidermis."
•Lucy kept the show tickets in her jewel box, along with her good jewelry, in her dresser for six months before the performance. Ethel wants to put her tickets in her "memory book."
•Lucy: I bet I won't even recognize the old place.
Ricky: Well, [New York City] has changed a little. They got skyscrapers now.
•Lucy: (to Little Ricky) Yeah, you can see it when you grow up, honey. At the rate they're selling tickets, it will still be playing.
•Ricky: And you won't forget to bring [the tickets] with you?
Lucy: Well, I thought I'd throw 'em in the wastebasket just before I left the house.
•Lucy: Yes, honey, I'm sure I have the right date. I put a ring around the date on the calendar. I made a mental note of it. I entered it in my engagement book. I did everything but hire an elephant and tie a string around its trunk!
