Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) are considerably put out when Ricky (Desi Arnaz) and Fred (William Frawley) become entranced by a beautiful, cultured young woman named Eve (Eve Whitney). Hoping to recapture their husbands' attentions, the girls enroll in a charm school run by Phoebe Emerson (played by Natalie Schafer, aka Lovey Howell on Gilligan's Island). When Lucy and Ethel appear before their husbands in their new, "cultured" wardrobe, the boys are so taken aback that they don "special" clothes of their own -- not to keep up with their wives, but to show them how silly they are to put on hoity-toity airs. ~ Rovi
