In this show, a panel of celebrity guests attempts to guess the secret of a guest who appears on the show. The person with the secret is usually from some everyday walks of life, and their secret has something interesting and unusual about it. The panelists have to ask yes or no questions to try and figure out what the secret is.

In season 1 episode 52 of the show titled "I've Got A Secret - 1962 - Episode 052," the panelists are joined by host Garry Moore in their quest to uncover the guest's secret. The episode starts with the introduction of the celebrity panelists, each one of them having their distinct style and charm. The panel for this episode consists of Henry Morgan, Faye Emerson, Bill Cullen, and Betsy Palmer. The guest for the episode is a woman named Mrs. Kummel, and the secret that she has brought along for the panelists to guess is an everyday object that she has used in an extraordinary way.

As the game begins, the panelists start asking a series of yes or no questions, trying to narrow down the possibilities of what the secret could be. The questions asked by the panelists are cleverly crafted, but Mrs. Kummel manages to stay tight-lipped and doesn't reveal much. The panelists ask questions regarding the size, shape, and weight of the object, but the answers that Mrs. Kummel provides are cryptic and unhelpful, leading to much hilarity on the show.

As the game continues, the panelists slowly start piecing together the secret. They start to decipher that the object in question is perishable, prompting Faye Emerson to ask if it was alive at some point. This leads to Mrs. Kummel revealing that the object was indeed alive at some point. As the game progresses, the panelists become more and more excited as they get closer to the answer.

As they get closer to the answer, Garry Moore occasionally interrupts the game to perform a comedy routine or chat with the panelists. This provides a much-needed break from the intense guessing game and keeps the show engaging.

Finally, after multiple rounds of interrogations, the panelists make their educated guesses on what the secret could be. However, on the show, it’s not about who guesses the closest – it’s either a win or a loss. The secret is unveiled in the end, prompting cheers and laughter from the in-studio audience. All in all, this episode of I've Got A Secret is an absolute delight to watch, showcasing the witty and engaging game-show format that has made it such an enduring classic.
