Eve and Kaye both want to play the lead in their club's production of an opera.
The last show of the series, and a pretty good one, though no one at the time knew it would be the last. Kaye wants to do another Italian opera but it is decided to do the German opera The Valkyrie. Mary Jane Croft (best known for all of Lucille Ball's shows) plays the club leader. Both Eve and Kaye are not able to do the lead because singer Marni Nixon is selected. Nixon was a trained opera soprano who was the singing voice of many actresses in movie musicals. These include Deborah Kerr (The King And I), Natalie Wood (West Side Story) and Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady). Funniest scene has Eve and Kaye riding an uncooperative horse on stage. The final scene shows them walking off the stage with the horse. The last time we get to see these two comedy legends together.
