Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fred's cousin Grady (Albert Reed) pays a visit, accompanied by his new wife Margaret (Marguerite Ray) and stepdaughter Betty Jean (Gladys Perry). Anxious to divest himself of the corpulent Betty Jean, Grady offers a dowry of 10,000 dollars to any eligible bachelor that will take her off his hands. With visions of moneybags dancing in his head, Fred (Redd Foxx) sets about to match up Betty Jean with his own son Lamont (Demond Wilson) -- a matrimonial strategy foiled by a prime example of "reverse psychology."
