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.

A burglar leaves his gun in the Sanford house after Lamont and Rollo scare him off.

Fred is beside himself when his new Puerto Rican neighbor opens a competing junkyard.

While at a convention in Hawaii, Fred is an unwitting jewel smuggler.

Fred discovers that the tenant he has a crush on is a man and a criminal.
