Short summary

Deborah Kerr, of "From Here to Eternity" fame, to temporarily join Dorothy Kilgallen, Steve Allen and Arlene Francis as a panelist for one week to try and guess the identity of a older who who sits on the movie censor board in Kansas, a man from North Carolina who's a sales maternity clothes, a man from Brooklyn who's a World Champion checkers player, as well as, the identity of celebrity mystery challenger Lucille Ball.

Lucille Ball uses the same voice she created when she played a Martian at the top of the Empire State Building in "Lucy is Envious" (S3;E23). Daly tells the panel that Lucy is speaking Martian. The episode was filmed on February 16, 1954 just five days before this appearance. It aired on March 29, 1954.

When Dorothy Kilgallen asks Lucy if she sings, Lucy says "eeew" and shakes her head no.

Arlene Francis (in collaboration with Deborah Kerr) guesses that it is Lucy by asking if she's lately had to take advantage of the last contestant's products [maternity clothing]. The year prior, Lucy Ricardo gave birth to Little Ricky and Lucille Ball to Desi Arnaz Jr.

Lucy puts in a pitch for donations to the Heart Fund. After Lucy leaves, Daly reminds the audience that Desi Arnaz was also on the show.
