Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Den mothers Lucy (Lucille Ball) and Viv (Vivian Vance) are slated to escort their Cub Scout pack on a trip to Washington. Inspired by the kids' sugar-cube replica of the White House, the girls get the bright idea to present this bit of patriotic kitsch to the President Himself. Alas, the replica is destroyed en route to the White House, forcing Lucy and Viv to do some quick improvising at a roadside diner. Elliott Reid, who appears on-screen as Ross Dowd, also supplies a certain very familiar Boston-baked voice in the final scene.
