The Lucy Show Lucy Drives a Dump Truck

The all-female Danville Volunteer Fire Department needs new uniforms, but there’s no money in the treasury. Hoping to raise the necessary funds–and to save her job as fire chief–Lucy (Lucille Ball) organizes a paper drive. Assuming that this undertaking will merely entail collecting old newspapers and depositing them in a truck for shipment out of town, Lucy and Viv (Vivian Vance) never imagined that they would be obliged to drive the truck themselves! Richard Reeves, a busy utility actor who popped in dozens of I Love Lucy episodes, is here cast as a cop., The volunteer fire department launches a paper drive. Lucy: Lucille Ball. Viv: Vivian Vance. Audrey: Mary Jane Croft. Thelma: Carole Cook. Dorothy: Dorothy Konrad.
