Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) are none too thrilled that Ricky (Desi Arnaz) and Fred (William Frawley) insist upon wearing their oldest and rattiest clothes in public. Without the boys' knowledge, the girls sell the raggedy old duds to a secondhand store owned by Zeb Allen (Oliver Blake) -- who promptly calls Ricky, offering to sell back his clothes. Deciding to teach the girls a lesson for sneaking around behind their backs, Ricky and Fred stuff their old clothes into Brooks Brothers boxes, then announce that they have purchased expensive new clothing, and intend to wear their new outfits at the Tropicana Club. Need we add that the scheme backfires in the most embarrassing manner possible?
