As part of a new foster-home project spearheaded by Louise Jefferson (Isabel Sanford), an orphan girl named Abby (Alene Wilson) is picked to spend a week at the Jefferson apartment. That week is quickly whittled down to a single day, thanks to the "tender loving care" of Louise's husband, George (Sherman Hemsley). Not only has Abby picked up George's racial prejudices, but she has also become proficient at gambling -- and cussing.
