Fed up with Ricky's (Desi Arnaz) sloppiness, neat-freak Lucy (Lucille Ball) divides their apartment in half. When this act fails to change Ricky's ways, Lucy decides to teach him a lesson when press agent Kenny Morgan (playing himself) arranges an at-home interview with the Ricardos for "Halfbeat," a magazine for professional musicians. With the help of the Mertzes, Lucy convinces the interviewer that the Ricardo apartment is nothing more than a huge pile of junk and dirty clothes -- and need we add that the scheme backfires spectacularly?
