The final gag cost Lucy $10,000 dollars to stage (read the behind-the-scenes account of this episode in Milt Josefsberg's book, "The Jack Benny Show"- if you can find a copy!).
@fromthesidelines I can believe it! It is elaborate and that is $10,000 1967 dollars. Pretty expensive! Thanks for your insight as always Barry :) -Michael
Yeah,.....Lucille Ball, GORGEOUS and FUNNY REDHEAD, Jack Benny, HILARIOUS and FUNNY MAN, not to forget Mr. Mooney(Gale Gordon) also!! Thumbs up to ya good buddy! = D
@AfsAnehAfairytale I think Gale Gordon was a good compliment for Lucy. He's a great grouch, lol. They worked very well together. There will be more :) -Michael
Looks like some pieces of Star Trek sets used for this episode.

A small elevator platform had to be built so that Lucy and Jack could "sink" into the "quicksand"...THAT'S why it cost ten grand, 'adam'!

Did anyone think of just offering Benny interest on his money?

LOVE the tattoo bit, old sponsor reference, sponsor branding! Don't let Jack Benny get away. Does Jack have a thing for Lucy?
"I wish you could" priceless. I love the joke also referencing the odd way he walks "walk this way"(lucy walks with a strut) "I always do"
