Lucy and Ricky participate in a quiz show where they compete against their best friends, Fred and Ethel. While Lucy is nervous about appearing on the show, Ricky is confident in their chances of winning. However, things start to go awry when Lucy accidentally memorizes the wrong answers to the questions. To make matters worse, when it's her turn to answer a question, she blurts out the wrong response, causing the audience to erupt into laughter.

As the game progresses, Lucy gets increasingly flustered and begins to panic. She even tries to cheat by sneaking a peak at the answers. Meanwhile, Ricky becomes fed up with her antics and displays his frustration on live television. Fred and Ethel, who were previously supportive of their friends, become irritated by their behavior and begin to bicker as well.

Despite the chaos, the game show host continues to ask the questions, each one seemingly becoming more difficult. Eventually, Ricky and Lucy fall behind and it becomes clear that their chances of winning are slim. However, in a moment of desperation, Lucy hatches a plan to turn things around. She convinces Ricky to take a chance on an answer that seems unlikely but turns out to be correct. This puts them back in the game and they take the lead.

In the end, Ricky and Lucy win the quiz show, but not without a lot of drama and tension between the couples. The experience teaches them a valuable lesson about honesty, teamwork, and communication within their relationships.
