Lucy Ricardo is the wacky wife of Cuban bandleader Ricky Ricardo. Living in New York, Ricky tries to succeed in show business while Lucy -- always trying to help -- usually manages to get in some kind of trouble that drives Ricky crazy. Their best friends are Fred and Ethel Mertz, who are also their landlords. Usually, Ethel becomes Lucy's less-than-willing partner in crime. Ricky and Lucy welcomed little Ricky in 1953, whose birth was a national TV event. Later in the show's run, the Ricardos (and the Mertzes) moved to Hollywood, where Ricky tried to become a movie star.

Lucy manages to have the boat run out of gas on a pleasure cruise.

The Ricardos go to Cuba, where Ricky wants to introduce his relatives to his wife and son.

Lucy plays a witch in little Ricky's school pageant.

Ricky's disapproval of Lucy's new hat leads her to try on a loving cup.
