Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In this first episode of Sanford and Son's second season, junk dealer Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) yearns for the "good old days" when he could gamble on the numbers game without interference. Alas, Fred's son Lamont (Demond Wilson) is strictly against his dad frittering his money away. When Fred threatens to bet all he owns on a lottery, Lamont does everything he can to prevent this economic catastrophe. But it takes a horrible nightmare to cure Fred of gambling fever forever.
