This episode is so funny, I didn't stop laughing throughout the whole time! Here's what happens: Lucy wants to go Uranium hunting, but Ricky says no. Naturally, Lucy comes up with one of her brilliant schemes. She and Ethel get a fake newspaper made with a fake headline that says that Uramium has been found where they are. So then Ricky gets excited when he sees it and runs to Lucy and tell hr that Uranium has been found, only Lucy thinks it's for real. So they go Uranium hunting w/ the Mertzes. No luck. When they finally give up, they find out it was all a scheme, and Lucy has landed herself in hot water once again. Hilarious! If you love Lucy as much as me, watch this movie!

This is one of the funniest videos in the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour series. After seeing the episode on Nick at Night, I had to buy it. Anyone who loves The Lucy Desi Comedy Hour and I Love Lucy will love this!

This episode is really a breath of fresh air and very funny; a lot of it was filmed outdoors on location and it's a great change of pace for the usually set-bound quartet we all love. Fred MacMurray plays himself and he's likeable if not hilarious {although he and Lucy have hardly any chemistry together). The desert scene where greed and suspicion take hold is a clever parody of "Treasure of the Sierra Madre". Vivian Vance is notably vivacious in this; it's hard to believe she could be the same mousey Ethel in episodes past;she looked amazingly younger as the series progressed - much to Lucy's dismay (she once told make-up artist Hal King "You're making her look too good!!"

VIVIEN VANCE SHINES IN THIS ONE! SHE STEPS OUT OF THE DOLDRUM HOUSEWIFE ROLE AND SHOWS SHE REALLY CAN DO COMEDY. I LOVE HOW IT TAKES YOU BACK TO A TIME WHEN LAS VEGAS WAS STILL NEW AND REALLY OUT IN THE DESERT, AS OPPOSED TO THE WAY IT IS NOW FEELING AS THO YOUR IN DOWNTOWN L.A! FOR ANY LUCY FAN, THIS ONE IS A GEM!! YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED!!
