Lucy Gets Chummy with the Neighbors

Lucy's new neighbor, Betty Ramsey, talks Lucy into buying all new furniture, and it all ends up costing over three thousand dollars. When Ricky finds out, he demands that Lucy return it. However, she is too embarrassed to admit to Betty that they cannot afford the new furniture, which leads Betty to assume that Lucy thinks that she has bad taste. Eventually, the Mertzes arrive and help clear up the misunderstanding, and Betty's husband Ralph gives Ricky a job on a television show that pays thirty-five hundred dollars, which will be enough to pay for furniture.
