Lucy has taken up oil painting, and meets a talented but starving artist, Danny Galuppi, who claims his work will only be worth money after he dies.
Lucy gets an idea, and helps the painter fake his death to jack up the prices of his paintings and hoping his paintings will begin to sell.
Special Notes: Lucille Ball has an updated, contemporary appearance with new make-up and wigs, and the entire show is shot in softer focus to help downplay Lucille's age. She is no longer shot in closeup and always filmed through a filtered lens. Several 6th season episodes are used for publicity for her forthcoming movie, Mame.
