THE STORY: THINKING UP A NEW NAME FOR THE ACT. Pete hits on the phrase “Meat and Potatoes” as the perfect name for their vaudeville act, but Lucy doesn’t like it. They get into a terrible fight, and Lucy kills Pete. A police investigation, trial and execution quickly follow. And the only words in this farcical sketch are “Meat and Potatoes.” (1 man, 1 woman, 9 men or women.)
