To persuade Jack Benny to become a depositor, Lucy has the bank construct an elaborate burglar-proof vault just for him.
This is a fan-favorite and probably the most popular appearance of Jack Benny on a Lucille Ball sitcom.
The script is not as humorous as your average LUCY SHOW episode so much of its appeal comes from the myriad of sight gags that occur in the final scene where Lucy demonstrates just how secure the new vault is.
Benny gets a huge audience reaction when he tells Lucy and Mooney his Social Security number.
One of the most famous episodes of the series, and while certainly not my favorite, I have some sentimentality toward it because before we got Nick at Nite, my only exposure to THE LUCY SHOW was to watch a clip of this episode that appeared on a compilation VHS entitled "A Tribute to Lucy" that was released in 1990 by HGV Video Productions.
