When Ricky (Desi Arnaz) blows his top after Lucy (Lucille Ball) purchases a new hat, Lucy bets him that he cannot hold his temper until she purchases another hat. Naturally, Lucy indulges in a variety of schemes to force Ricky into a tantrum so that she can win the bet -- she has her heart set on a new turquoise chapeau studded with pearls -- but Ricky refuses to bite. The situation is resolved (in a manner of speaking) by the timely arrival of a ventriloquist, played by veteran B-Western sidekick Max Terhune.
