However, they quickly discover that they don't know how to play poker. Desperate to learn, they hire a tutor, who turns out to be a young boy named Stevie.
After their first lesson, Lucy and Ethel become enamored with Stevie and start treating him like a little prince.

Meanwhile, Ricky and Fred are dealing with their own problems, having discovered that Lucy and Ethel have spent all of their rent money on lavish gifts for Stevie. In a race against time, the group comes together to find Stevie and make things right with his parents.
