Intending to work his way around the world on a tramp steamer, Lamont (Demond Wilson) plans to sell the junkyard, but not before installing his father Fred (Redd Foxx) in an old folk's home (that's what they used to call "senior centers"). It isn't long before Lamont regrets this move, but it is up to Fred's pal Bubba (Don Bexley) to bring father and son back together. This Sanford and Son episode was based on "Homes Fit For Heroes," a 1964 episode of the series' British prototype Steptoe and Son.
