623 East 68th Street, New York City, Aprtment 3-B,
the residence of Ricky Ricardo, an orchestra leader at
the Tropicana Club and his wife Lucy.

Stories depict the basic, most often copied premise:
a husband plagued by the antics of his well-meaning,
but scatterbrained wife. In this case, by a wife who longs
for a career in show business, but encounters the
objections of her husband.

Fred and Ethel Mertz were the Ricardo's neighbors,
landlords and best friends. The two couples were almost
inseparable, whatever the Ricardos did, so did the Mertzs.
