Ricky has completed his movie for MGM, but Lucy and the Mertzes convince him to let them stay in Hollywood for one more week. While sight-seeing, Lucy discovers that the cement slab with John Wayne's footprints and signature in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater has become loose. Lucy talks Ethel into helping her steal the slab to keep as a souvenir, and as they make their get-away, Lucy gets her foot caught in a bucket of cement. Ricky demands that they return the slab to the theater forecourt, but while trying to return it, Lucy and Ethel accidentally destroy it.

MGM asks Ricky to help entertain executives at a studio party. Ricky has plans to go deep-sea fishing, but as far as Lucy is concerned, "the show must go on." She performs with a dummy and ends up being offered a contract.
