Lucy (Lucille Ball) wheedles some extra money out of Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon) by claiming she needs some medical treatment. What Mooney doesn't know is that Lucy is using the cash for a extended trip to the beauty parlor. Alas, the crew from a "Candid Camera"-style television show (hosted by real-life LA radio personality Dick Patterson) catches Lucy on film at the parlor, forcing her to hatch a scheme to prevent Mooney from witnessing her embarrassing network TV debut. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
