Ep 17. Lucy Bags a Bargain

The Lucy Show season 4 episode 17, titled "Lucy Bags a Bargain," follows the misadventures of the beloved and zany character, Lucy Carmichael, as she attempts to score a deal on a used sportscar. Lucy's best friend, Viv, is in the market for a new car and suggests that Lucy take her old sports car off of her hands. But when Lucy gets behind the wheel, she's not so sure. The car is old, beat up, and needs a lot of work. Determined to make a deal, Lucy sets out to find the best bargain on a used car.

Lucy's first stop is a used car dealership where she meets a slick salesman who tries to sell her an expensive convertible. Lucy is not interested and sets her sights on a cheaper model. But when the salesman reveals the car's true condition, Lucy quickly realizes she's been had.

Determined not to give up, Lucy heads to a police auction where cars confiscated from criminals are up for sale. She quickly draws attention to herself by bidding on cars at ridiculous prices. The auctioneer tries to discourage her, but Lucy is not one to give up easily.

Finally, Lucy comes across an ad in the newspaper for a car that sounds too good to be true. When she arrives at the seller's house, she finds a dilapidated car sitting in the driveway. But Lucy sees the potential in the car and convinces the seller to let her take it for a spin. Despite the car's rough exterior, Lucy falls in love with it and makes a deal with the seller.

As Lucy drives away in her new (old) car, she realizes that it needs a lot of work. But she is undeterred and begins to plan all of the upgrades she wants to make. With the help of her friend, Mary Jane, Lucy sets to work fixing up her new ride. They replace the tires, clean the interior, and give it a fresh coat of paint.

In the end, Lucy is overjoyed with her new car and shows it off to all of her friends. But when she takes it for a spin, she quickly realizes that it's not as reliable as she thought. The car breaks down in the middle of the road, leaving Lucy stranded. But as always, Lucy remains optimistic and finds a way to make the best of her situation.

Overall, "Lucy Bags a Bargain" is a classic episode of The Lucy Show that showcases Lucy's determination and resourcefulness. Despite facing multiple obstacles, Lucy refuses to give up on her quest for a new car. The episode is full of hilarious moments and witty one-liners, making it a must-watch for fans of the show.
