10 o’clock in the living room and all’s well! Lucy goes slapstick AND political in the same episode when the gang thinks their new neighbors are foreign agents and get into some pretty zany hijinks that could honestly be pulled from today’s headlines. It's Lucy’s amazing physical comedy mixed with Ricky, Ethel, and Fred buying right into the lunacy. Plus, actors ruin everything.
