The Honeymooners: Norton has discovered astrology, and Ralph thinks he's nuts, especially when Norton tells him the stars say he shouldn't ask his boss, Mr. Malone, for the raise he planned to request that day. Norton also sees in the stars that Ralph will have an accident that day and will be rendered speechless. When a window falls on Ralph's hand and the pain is so great that he can't utter a sound, Ralph becomes hooked on the stars too. He doesn't ask for the raise, and Alice is furious when she learns the reason why. Ralph tells her the stars say he should ask for the raise Friday night at 11:30 P.M. Alice tries to explain to Ralph that he can't possibly be anywhere near his boss Friday night at that hour. As if appointed by destiny, in walks Freddie Muller with an invitation for the Kramdens to an engagement party he's giving for Mr. Malone, Friday night--from 9 P.M. to midnight. Next, Norton sees in Ralph's horoscope that he's going to have an encounter with a glamorous Aquarius. They figure that the party is the only place Ralph is likely to meet such a woman, so they decide to show up at Freddie's just before 11:30. At the party Ralph is edgy, and he nearly faints when an attractive blonde asks him for a match. He nearly has a heart attack a few minutes later when Mr. Malone's fiance, a cute blonde Aquarius, asks him to dance with her. At exactly 11:30 Ralph asks Mr. Malone for the raise. Malone turns him down, and then dresses him down for trying to take advantage of a social situation. The next day Ralph installs extra locks on the apartment door--to keep Norton out. Up pops Mr. Malone, to apologize to Ralph for yelling at him, and to give him the raise. It seems that the stars were right after all--until Norton comes down with the news that he's been reading last year's book. Running time: 37:05
