    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Lucy writers got the idea for this episode's plot from a scenario that happened one time when Bob Carroll, Jr. was coming home from Europe. Carroll saw a man with a huge 20-pound wheel of foreign cheese. The customs officials chopped open the cheese, because they thought the man was trying to smuggle in jewels by using the cheese as a vessel.
    • Goofs
      When Lucy gets out of her seat to speak to Ethel, it's obvious that the bundle of cheese under the swaddling has already been cut into smaller pieces because it bends as she stands. Prior to this scene the bundle was one long rigid piece.

      Ricky Ricardo: I am not the father of that cheese!
