Summary
One in this comedy series starring Lucille Ball. This episode features a special guest appearance by Jack Benny as himself. Lucy Carmichael (Ball), Mr. Mooney (Gordon), and Mr. Cheever (Roberts) try to think of a gimmick to bring in new business for the bank, and Mrs. Carmichael comes up with the idea of encouraging Jack Benny to open an account with them. After going to Benny's home to ask advice on getting a violin teacher for her nephew, Lucy gets Benny to agree to open an account with their bank if the bank can prove that their vault is better than the one that he has in his own home. Lucy gives Benny a tour of the bank's new vault, with a security system that includes quicksand, a guillotine and a moat with snapping turtles. Commercials deleted.
