Ep 6. Lucy Goes Duck Hunting

Lucy Goes Duck Hunting is the sixth episode of season 2 of The Lucy Show. In this episode, Lucy Carmichael, played by Lucille Ball, decides to go duck hunting with Mr. Mooney, her boss at the bank. She dresses up in hunting gear, complete with a camouflage hat and boots, and arrives at Mr. Mooney's house early in the morning.

Mr. Mooney, played by Gale Gordon, is surprised to see Lucy all geared up for hunting. He tells her that he was actually planning to go fishing instead of hunting, but Lucy insists that she is up for the challenge of hunting ducks. Mr. Mooney reluctantly agrees to take her along, but warns her that hunting is not as easy as it seems.

As they head out to the lake, Lucy is excited and ready for action. Mr. Mooney gives her some brief instructions on how to shoot the gun, but Lucy is already distracted by a duck swimming in the lake. She takes aim, pulls the trigger, and misses the duck completely. Mr. Mooney tells her that she needs to be patient and wait for the perfect shot.

Lucy tries again and again, but she keeps missing her targets. Mr. Mooney is getting frustrated with her lack of skill, and reminds her that hunting requires precision and patience. Lucy gets annoyed with Mr. Mooney's constant criticism, and decides to take matters into her own hands.

She starts to chase after the ducks, yelling and waving her gun in the air. Mr. Mooney tries to stop her, but she is too quick for him. As she runs after the ducks, she accidentally steps on a loose board, and falls right into the lake.

Mr. Mooney rushes to her rescue, pulling her out of the water and scolding her for her reckless behavior. Lucy apologizes for her mistake, but Mr. Mooney tells her that the hunting trip is over for the day. The two of them head back to Mr. Mooney's house, where Lucy gets a chance to dry off and change out of her wet clothes.

Later on, Lucy realizes that she lost her hunting license in the lake. She worries that she will get into trouble for hunting without a license, and decides to hide the truth from Mr. Mooney. However, Mr. Mooney finds out about her missing license, and tells her that she needs to report it to the authorities.

Lucy is hesitant to reveal the truth, but Mr. Mooney insists that honesty is always the best policy. They head down to the license office, where Lucy confesses to losing her license. The clerk tells her that she will need to retake the hunting test before she can get a new license.

Lucy is disappointed, but Mr. Mooney assures her that she will do better on the test next time. The episode ends with Lucy and Mr. Mooney laughing about their unsuccessful hunting trip, and Lucy promising to never go duck hunting again.

Overall, Lucy Goes Duck Hunting is a fun and lighthearted episode of The Lucy Show. It showcases Lucy's adventurous spirit and her willingness to try new things, even if she isn't very good at them. The episode also highlights the importance of honesty and accountability, as Lucy learns to take responsibility for her mistakes and face the consequences of her actions.
