[5] Ricky (Desi Arnaz) is given an opportunity to host a television show and is notified that he needs to find a girl to do a commercial spot for one of their sponsors.

When Ricky returns home from his band rehearsal, she is behind the TV screen – inside the set's empty body – doing a mock commercial as Johnny, the bellhop of Phillip Morris fame.

Ricky asks Fred if he can wait for a telephone call from the girl willing to do the commercial to tell her the time and studio.

The director of the commercial (Ross Elliot) explains to Lucy their sales pitch regarding the "Vitameatavegamin" health tonic.

What both Lucy and the director are unaware of – but what the propman (Jerry Hausner) realizes to his shock – is that the tonic contains 23% alcohol.

Lucy begins her first rehearsal, taking a sip of the tonic, which tastes terrible, as evidenced by her grimace.
