Desperately bored over the fact of staying home and getting larger, Lucy decides she wants to become an artist, and is convinced by the art store salesman to try sculpting. Along with the store owner, they try to manipulate her by making her things that a lump of clay that she simply threw onto an artist table is a beautiful work of art, and as soon as she buys a bunch of clay and other tools, they throw it back into the clay barrel. Lucy turns Fred into her model, a very funny scene that has him attempting to look like a Greek athlete, then Lucy pretends to be a statue herself, covering her face in clay and having it come through a table so art collector Paul Harvey will think that she's created a work of genius.
The shot of Fred in his long underwear holding a discus is very funny especially when his body gets stuck in that position, and later Lucy's head on the table with Ethel trying to convince Harvey not to buy it is another classic moment in the series. Desi and Harvey's reactions to his attempts to pull Lucy's head off of the table as she jumps are hysterical. But it's another episode that really doesn't have a plot impact because she never returns to sculpting again, and we have to assume that she became bored and moved on.
