Having seen Fred (William Frawley) perform a magic act with a set of trick handcuffs, Lucy (Lucille Ball) decides to use the same "bracelets" to force Ricky (Desi Arnaz) to spend the evening with her rather than attending a rehearsal. Unfortunately, the handcuffs are so old that no key exists to open them -- and thus Lucy faces the possibility of being manacled to Ricky for the rest of her life! The fun really begins when Ricky tries to perform his act on TV with Lucy, still firmly shackled to his wrist, trying to remain as "inconspicuous" as possible. ~ Rovi
