Normally I would rate any episode with chimps, gorillas or Gorboonas very low. The writers mined the well for monkeyshines wayyyy too many times on these post-I Love Lucy series. But I have to say, this one is not half-bad and definitely the best of a weak bunch.
Lucy takes a babysitting job to earn what she thinks is easy money (remember when she did this with twins on I Love Lucy?). This episode is notable because the business that assigns Lucy the job is called the Unique Employment Agency-foreshadowing the office setting on Here's Lucy. Elvia Allman plays the job counselor and Mary Wickes appears as the "Mom" of "triplets" which turns out to be a trio of young chimpanzees. The appearance of these ladies make it seem like Old Home Week and elevates the episode. It gains another star for the sweet way Lucy interacts with the primates, especially the "baby".
