Shirley (Cindy Williams) writes a play called "Murder in Mother Goose Land", then arranges a special performance for a big-time Broadway producer named Merritt (Dick Patterson). Alas, thanks to a characteristic goof-up on the part of Squiggy (David L. Lander), none of the actors shows up on opening night. You guessed it: Shirley and Laverne (Penny Marshall) end up doing the "protean" bit, playing all the roles themselves! This is the final episode of Laverne & Shirley's sixth season.
