PREMISE: Lucy discovers there is an error on her marriage license, and decides the Ricardos should get married all over again -- just the way they did 12 years earlier. They drive to New England to visit the exact spot where Ricky proposed... but the twosome wind up quarreling and spending the night at the rundown Eagle Hotel, run by Bert and "Mother" Willoughby.

MUSIC: "I Love You Truly"
Character actor Irving Bacon would return three years later to play Ethel's Albuquerque-based father, Will Potter, in the episode entitled "Ethel's Home Town." Ms. Patterson, of course, returned to I Love Lucy in the spring of 1953, to play the Ricardos' neighbor (and usual babysitter) Mrs. Trumbull.
