A few months later the Ricardos and Mertzes returned home and about a month later, they took off on yet another trip this time to Europe. Lucy got into more trouble there, she missed the boat, and the pilot boat, and had to get onto the boat by helicopter. Also on the boat Lucy got her head stuck in the port hole, but she did get to meet the queen, she also got arrested in Paris for counterfieting, and they got stuck in a avalanche in Switzerland. In Monaco, Lucy won 875,000 francs at the famous Monte Carlo Casino. On the way home to the U.S. Lucy snuck a 25 pound of cheddar cheese onto a plane, then she cut up the cheese and stashed it into all of Ricky's bandmember's instruments.
