Eventually the Ricardos and the Mertzes moved to a house
in rural Connecticut. Lucy Ricardo is a loving if somewhat
naïve housewife who has a knack for getting herself
into trouble through her ambitious character. In particular,
she is obsessed with joining her husband in show business.
Fred and Ethel are themselves former vaudevillians, which
only strengthens Lucy's resolve to prove herself as a
performer. Unfortunately, Lucy Ricardo cannot so much
as carry a tune - nor play anything other than an off-key
rendition of "Glow Worm" on the saxophone -
and evidently has no other artistic talent. Yet Lucy is
determined to show everyone around her that she is much
more than an ordinary housewife.
