Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon) is campaigning for the office of City Council Comptroller, and Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Viv (Vivian Vance) are his staunchest supporters. While planning a big political rally, Mooney entrusts Lucy with lining up some entertainment. Alas, Lucy forgets to make the necessary calls--and, just as expected, she and Viv are the "whole show" on the night of the rally. (This episode originally aired in the election year of 1964, in which Barry Goldwater almost fared as badly as poor Mr. Mooney!)
