Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Mario Orsatti (Jay Novello), who had been the Ricardos and the Mertzes' gondolier in Venice, arrives in New York to visit his brother Dominic (Peter Brocco). Unable to locate his brother, Mario turns to Lucy (Lucille Ball) for help. She determines that Dominic is actually in San Francisco, and decides to raise the necessary bus fare by securing a job for Mario in a local pizza parlor. But when the immigration officials come calling, Lucy is forced to take Mario's place. You guessed it: Lucy plus pizza equals a dough-splattered disaster!
