Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Inspired by the fact that her son Jerry (Jimmy Garrett) has been given 50 cents for a rare penny, Lucy (Lucille Ball) becomes an insatiable coin collector. In concert with Viv (Vivian Vance), Lucy withdraws twenty dollars' worth of pennies from her bank account, and after spending all night sorting through the money the girls come across a penny worth $16.50. Alas, the coin falls down a storm drain--and thus the stage is set for one of the classic Lucy Show moments, with our heroines disguised as sewer workers!
