Episode 10 "The Fur Coat" First Aired DECEMBER 10, 1951

We are back into the episode journey, but keep checking under the LUCY FEST PICTURES page there may be more pictures of my Lucy Fest trip!

This episode is about when Ricky comes home after renting a 3,500 mink coat for a dance number down at the club where he works and Lucy finds out that the coat isn't Ethel's like she did to begin with, she thinks it is her coat. Ricky was about to tell her that that expensive coat isn't hers, but she thanks him for not forgetting their anniversary.

Ricky has to try many methods to get the coat away from Lucy.

1. Tries to "steal" the coat at night while she is sleeping and says that it was stolen by a burglar
2. Takes the coat away while she is doing the dishes
3. Has Fred act as a burglar at night to grab the coat.......

While all those ideas were good ones they just didn't work out. Once you watch this episode you will find that his attempts to get a hold of the coat very funny.

Until Ethel spills the beans Lucy has no idea that her beloved coat isn't actually hers at all. But when she does find out she gets VERY mad and has a plan to get back at Ricky.

Enjoy!

The person made up like Ethel Mertz in your misc. pictures is done up very well.

I saw the "Ethel Mertz" at the Lucy Fest too and she was great. Not only did she look like her, but she sounded like her when she talked to "Fred".
