Lucy's got the goblutes disease from the bushu bird, particularly from it's hind legs. That means the removal of her zorch. So I guess Lucy won't be singing any zorch song at Ricky's club. It's all fictional of course, a plot by Ricky to expose Lucy for faking a split personality so he'll break down and let her have a part in his show. She starts off with a Tallulah impersonation, then goes onto be a young lady, and finally a jacks playing, tricycle riding little girl. It's a very funny episode where everybody gets their opportunity to get laughs, and of course, it's the men who know what's up and the women not knowing. It's silly nonsense, but well written silly nonsense and that makes it a classic.
