The four great episodes for this video are from 1967 in which Lucille Ball plays Lucy Carmichael, secretary to Theodore J. Mooney, (Gale Gordon), Vice President of the Westland Bank. Lucy has the uncanny ability to find herself in ridiculous and highly unlikely situations that makes for winning visual comedy. Carmichael-created chaos causes Mr Mooney endless distress creating one of television's most memorable friendly feuds.

Lucy and the Monkey Mary Jane warns Lucy that she 'll have a nervous breakdown if she doesn't stop working so hard. So she immediately thinks she's hallucinating when she enters her boss, Mr. Mooney's office and finds a monkey, (part of a benefit show), sitting at his desk. Lucy thinks she's seeing Mr. Mooney as a monkey! She "faces her fear" by treating the monkey as if he's Mooney with hilarious consequences...!
