The Ricardos and the Mertzes are enlisted to perform in Little Ricky's kindergarten play "The Enchanted Forest." Although Ricky (Desi Arnaz) had hoped to direct the production, he is instead assigned the role of "The Hollow Stump," while Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) are respectively cast as "Hippity-Hoppity the Frog" and "The Fairy Princess." But the big money act is, as always, Lucy (Lucille Ball), making a meal of her role as "The Wicked Old Witch" -- and adroitly covering for Little Ricky (Richard Keith) whenever the five-year-old trouper goes up in his lines.
