THE LUCY SHOW

Chris exacts a promise from Lucy that she can throw a New Year's Eve party without Lucy's interference. Neighbor, Harry Connors is pressed into service to chaperone the party, leaving Lucy and Viv on their own for the night.

Lucy and Viv take the boys to the Elm Tree Inn to stay out of Chris' way. After a sweet but dull dinner with the boys, Viv's boyfriend, Eddie, drops by to tell them that the party is a disaster and Chris needs their help.

Everyone rushes home to help. Lucy, with assistance from Viv and Harry, entertains Chris' guests with a Charlie Chaplin routine that ushers in the New Year with great success.

Special Notes: This was the first time Lucy did her very adroit Charlie Chaplin immitation on a television program.
