Here's Lucy

Harry is president of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. He arranges for football star O.J. Simpson to be the guest speaker at a luncheon planned by Lucy, Mary Jane, and himself.

O.J. gives Harry two hard-to-get tickets to the game, which Harry then sells for $50 to a friend. Simpson returns, and gives Lucy a parking pass and another two tickets. Harry decides he will scalp these extra tickets, and gets himself arrested for ticket scalping.

Special Notes: Lucille is reading from cue cards by this time and gets a great deal of help from Gale and Mary Jane. Watching this show in hindsight makes for an eerie experience as a young O.J. Simpson, still a football star with the Buffalo Bills, talks poetically about his first wife, Marguerite and their children.
