Warning: Spoilers
Ethel has a birthday coming up and she fears Fred has forgotten. Ethel recruits Lucy to help her. During dinner Lucy starts dropping hints prompting Ricky into thinking he forgot Lucy's birthday and whips out his emergency present! We also learn it has a card for every occasion!

The Ricardo's gift Ethel with dinner and the theater on her birthday.

The real trouble starts when Fred asks Lucy to select his gift for Ethel and Lucy fails to follow his advice. For once he actually was on his right track.

Lucy makes the mistake many do and shops for what she would like but apparently doesn't get for herself. This is another very funny scene when Ethel finds the present! One of my best scenes ever and Ethel gets some laughs the best lines.

There is also some good laughs when they are all at the theater. It does feel like the fight between Lucy and Ethel goes on too long for an otherwise funny episode. They got over it easier when they both suspected one another of burglary !
