The episode opens with Lucy, who is the chairman of the PTA, announcing that they will be hosting a charity fundraiser to raise money for the local hospital. She promises the members that she can secure Robert Goulet as the main entertainer. Everyone is impressed and pleased with her for taking on such a difficult task.

Lucy goes home and tells her children, Chris and Jerry, about her exciting news. They are both surprised but excited that their mother knows such a famous singer. However, Lucy's excitement is short-lived when she receives a phone call from Goulet's agent, who informs her that he is unable to perform at the event due to his busy schedule. Lucy is crestfallen and unsure how to break the news to the PTA members who are expecting a big-name performer at the fundraiser.

Determined to deliver on her promise, Lucy devises a plan to find a replacement act. She enlists her neighbor, Harry, to help her scour the city for a suitable performer. They attend auditions and listen to music before finally coming across a group of performers who are rehearsing in a nearby building. The group is composed of four men who are practicing a song that Lucy thinks is perfect for the fundraiser.

Lucy approaches the lead singer, named Mark, and asks him if they would be interested in performing at the charity event. Mark agrees, and Lucy is thrilled with her success. However, things become complicated when Robert Goulet suddenly becomes available and offers to perform at the fundraiser after all. Now Lucy is torn between her commitment to the group she found and her desire to secure the famous singer for the event.
