Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Upon their arrival in London, Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) pay a visit to Buckingham Palace, where they spend a hilarious few minutes trying to get a stone-faced palace guard to crack a smile. Later on, Ricky (Desi Arnaz) is invited to meet the royal family -- but alas, Lucy hasn't been included in the invitation. Determined to land an audience with Queen Elizabeth, Lucy secures a job as a dancer in a Royal Command Performance -- and develops a charley horse just before she is to take her customary bow in the queen's presence. Watch for The Beverly Hillbillies' future Miss Jane, Nancy Kulp, as a cockney hotel maid.
