The opening episode of I Love Lucy's fifth season is a continuation of the story arc in which the Ricardos and the Mertzes are visiting Hollywood, where Ricky (Desi Arnaz) has been signed to make picture for MGM. During her last week in Tinseltown, Lucy (Lucille Ball) is determined to get her hands on a valuable souvenir. This she does when she "borrows" the footprints of John Wayne, which have been immortalized in a slab of cement in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theater. But grabbing Wayne's prints isn't as difficult a task as returning them, as Lucy and Ethel (Vivian Vance) learn to their dismay. The outcome of this little escapade will not be revealed until the next episode, so stay tuned.
