Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Widow Lucy (Lucille Ball) volunteers to accompany her boy Jerry (Jimmy Garrett) on a father-son camping trip. This being a mid-1960s sitcom, the other fathers are averse to having a woman along for the ride. Thus, when Lucy insists upon being treated as "one of the guys", the men capriciously take her literally, determined to run her ragged and force her to head home in a hurry. Watch for Hal Smith, better known as town drunk Otis Campbell on The Andy Griffith Show, as one of the fathers.
