Tossing out a chain-letter seems to bring Laverne and those around bad luck. So much so, they enlist the help of a Gypsy Spiritualist to try and remove the hex from her.

Attempting to become a singer, Carmine writes and records a catchy dance song that catches fire, but the lyrics burn the ears of 1960s, almost militant, censorship.
