Lucy approaches ventriloquist Paul Winchell to provide the entertainment at the annual banker's banquet, having met him earlier when he showed up to open a new account.
This is another episode where Lucy steps aside and lets the guest star have the spotlight.
The opening scene where Lucy rhymes off the different interest rates comes off as a little tedious but the tape recorder bit where Mooney ends up hearing the disparaging remarks she made about him is funny. It's interesting how many times Mooney is referred to as fat in this series. In 2023 his size is the norm for men his age.
The best part is the middle scene in Winchell's home where his female dummy Tessie makes a crack about Lucy's hair color; and when the two quarreling male dummies get into a food fight.
The big scene at the end where Lucy appears on Winchell's knee as Tessie is underwhelming.
