After meeting a handsome bachelor in an art store, Lucy and Viv fight over the affections of the handsome and single John Brooks III. To get to know him better, both enroll in an art class.
When Viv lands a date with the bachelor, Lucy schemes to ruin it. She sneaks into John's apartment to replace the apple pie Viv had baked with one made of peppers and Tabasco. The two arrive at his place early from their date, forcing Lucy to hide as part of a famous work of art. She makes a fool of herself and destroys his painting in the process.
Special Notes: This is the first "Lucy" appearance for stage, screen, and TV veteran Robert Alda. He becomes a near regular over the years, showing up when the plot calls for a good looking older man.
