The show begins with the dancers doing Blue Skies. Vicki, Harvey, guests Mel Torme and Lucille Ball. Lyle and finally Carol sing Put On A Happy Face, there is a smog machine and they cough and end up in gas masks.

A long Q&A follows. Carol is asked about doing a nude movie, meeting John Steinbeck, singing sad ballads and her favorite comedian in Harvey.

Mel Torme, sitting on a swing, sings a bit of Where Have All The Flowers Gone and the Tom Paxton song Whose Garden Is This.

A sketch with Carol and Lucy as stage mothers and their cute talented daughters on an audition. Funniest scene is Lucy showing her girl how to cry.

Carol and Mel sing songs of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, like The Continental and The Carioca.

A funny sketch has Harvey as an actor and Carol his drunk co star. During the play, she finds ways to keep drinking.

A very good movie spoof of Some Like It Hot is next. Carol and Lucy are 1920s flappers, Mel (doing an Edward G Robinson imitation), Harvey and Lyle are gangsters. The girls see them massacre other gangsters, then they disguise themselves as men. Vicki plays a ditzy showgirl

Carol talks about pollution and the guests sign her book.
