Aired April 27, 1953 · 25 min
Synopsis
Lucy, worn out by caring for the new baby, convinces the Ricardos to hire a maid, but the woman they get is selfish and negligent. Rather than helping, the maid focuses more on her own comfort than on tending to Lucy or the apartment. Desperate to get rid of her but too timid to fire her directly, Lucy tries to sabotage the apartment in hopes that the maid will leave on her own.
