Plot
Fred's fighting mad to find that his new neighbor, Julio Fuentes, is a Puerto Rican man from New York City with a pet goat named Chico! When he tries to have the Health Dept. Inspector, Mr. Watkins (Larry J. Blake) to give Julio a citation, if not evict him, for safety violations, things backfire on him miserably when Julio gets a good citation, a commendation for the way he fixed up his home and residence from the city! Fred, on the other hand, gets cited for numerous health and safety violations! Even more upset, Fred frustratingly exclaims, "This place has a strong foundation! No faulty wiring! You could'nt find a better place like this nowhere in the world!" But, when he slams the front door shut on the way into the house the little roof above the door collapses, hilariously! Fred and Julio managed to patch things up; well, uh, sort of, when Julio, as a greeting, brings a hot, delicious looking pot of spareribs, mustard greens, and candied sweet potatoes, only to have Chico, the goat, escape, only to walk in the Sanfords' living room, and start eating out of the pot of the dish!
