Mot Morenzi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Let's put our heads together and see if we can all contribute to a big Lucy plot! I'll start, and someone pick up where I leave off: Lucy & Ethel are walking down the sidewalk in Manhattan when Lucy spies a bundle of money on the ground. Snatching it up, she and Ethel stare wide eyed at $1,000 in $50 bills.

Reluctantly walking towards the police station, Lucy glances into a store window, stops, & backs up hurriedly, dragging Ethel with her. She peeks furtively through the edge of the window, being careful not to be seen by the people inside. "Look, Ethel!" she exclaims, pointing into the store. "It's Ricky & Fred!" "Ricky & Fred? Why in the world would they be in there?" Unbeknownst to Lucy & Ethel, Ricky & Fred are ... (Let's keep it clean, people. Pretty please? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After finishing & hanging up, he apologized for keeping the women waiting. He was a little man who bore a striking resemblance to their friend Mario, the Italian gondolier.
