*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
Ricky loses his love of show business, owing to a string of contretemps down at the club. It's all the same to him, any line of work will do. He and Fred open a diner.
"You got the know-how, and I got the name," says Ricky. Ethel cooks, Fred works the counter, Ricky and Lucy greet the plentiful customers. It's a great success until the know-how bows out.
They split the diner right down the middle, fighting a vexatious price war over the solitary customer, a drunk, who remains after Lucy's attempt to run the kitchen. Pies are thrown, they agree to sell out at a loss.
