Episode synopsis
To get a better tax break and increase their income, strapped-for-cash Lamont gets a job as a clerk at a haberdashery and Fred considers closing down Sanford & Son. To prevent this, Fred poses as an eccentric millionaire and heads to Lamont's place of business, intending to buy all the clothes and put the haberdashery out of business. Wnen Lamont tells him that they don't give refunds, Fred pretends to be offended by the salesman Lamont, causing a scene and Lamont to return to the junkyard, restoring to the Sanford and Son Salvage business.
