Junk dealer Fred Sanford runs roughshod over his son and partner, Lamont, in a groundbreaking sitcom. Fred's moneymaking schemes routinely backfire, and he does just about anything to get out of working -- up to and including faking a heart attack. He's rude, sarcastic, outspoken, overtly prejudiced, and pretty darn nasty to his friends and family.

Fred organizes a protest against a store that discriminates against older citizens.

Fred hits a lucky gambling streak when he and Lamont need money to buy the Sanford Arms.

Fred witnesses a burglary at Julio's house but is too scared to identify the criminals for the police.

Lamont promotes an all-female singing trio from Philadelphia, The Three Degrees.
