When husbands cut the card.
mark.waltz13 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
We're getting down to the wire with the end of the series (unfortunately) which still had a lot of potential in it. Eve, Kay AND Suzie all deal with the ire of their husbands over their shopping addictions which leaves the husbands stuck with the bills. Eve and Kay decide to get jobs as salesgirls at the local department store as part of a bet with their husbands, but their very tough supervisor easily catches onto their schemes. Eve gets to impersonate a mannequin being hysterically carted away, and it's not surprising that they don't finish out the day. But they don't want the husbands to know what has happened which makes the husbands suspicious about how they're able to keep a job. Of course it's quickly exposed and the husbands plot their revenge by taking them out dancing and demanding that they wear the fur coats that they know that the women hawked. With outrageous lies trying to cover their actions, Eve and Kay learn a good lesson about deceiving their husbands. But do they really learn a lesson, or are their husbands just easy marks? Amusing episode shows a 60's situation that would very soon after be obsolete in the independent 70's.

Eve and Kaye join the work force

Herb and Roger are fed up with their wives spending money so they get jobs at a department store.

An OK episode, recycled from "I Love Lucy" shows. Roy Stuart (he was Cpl. Boyle on the "Gomer Pyle USMC" sitcom) plays the haughty boss at the store. Funniest scene has Eve pretending to be a mannequin.
