Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The all-female Danville Volunteer Fire Department needs new uniforms, but there's no money in the treasury. Hoping to raise the necessary funds--and to save her job as fire chief--Lucy (Lucille Ball) organizes a paper drive. Assuming that this undertaking will merely entail collecting old newspapers and depositing them in a truck for shipment out of town, Lucy and Viv (Vivian Vance) never imagined that they would be obliged to drive the truck themselves! Richard Reeves, a busy utility actor who popped in dozens of I Love Lucy episodes, is here cast as a cop.
