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.

Fred and Ethel overhear a fight between Ricky and Lucy...or did they? It seems Lucy is reading a murder mystery out loud to the amusement of Ricky. But when Ricky playfully throws the book at Lucy, she ends up with a black eye.

A doting husband and father-to-be, Ricky makes the mistake of giving more attention to the arriving baby than he does to his fickle wife. Ricky tries to please Lucy by making her waffles and he doubles his efforts by giving Lucy baby gifts.

The two couples have a fun evening singing until the Mertzes go home and hear the Ricardos still singing in the apartment above. Arguments occur between the friends and, to break out of their lease, the Ricardos invite Ricky's band over to play.

Ricky sells his car and the Mertzes think they are being stranded in California.

Lucy and Ethel decide to make some extra money by buying a used, walk-in freezer. When they unwittingly buy 700 pounds of beef, they try to sell it to customers at the butcher shop. Lucy later finds herself locked in the freezer.
