I Love Lucy (1951)

S4E29 Ricky Needs an Agent

Lucy believes Ricky could benefit from having an agent, so she takes it upon herself to fill that role without his knowledge. She approaches a studio executive with the intention of securing him a movie part. To make her pitch more enticing, she invents a fictitious Broadway musical to use as leverage. Surprisingly, her plan gains unexpected traction and works even better than she anticipated.
