Episode synopsis[]
Fred hopes to get rich quick by becoming co-owner of a boxer dubbed Junior Joe Louis. It then becomes Fred and Grady's job to get Junior into fighting shape before Friday's bout.
Episode summary[]
Fred (Redd Foxx) spends the 50 dollars his son Lamont was saving for truck repairs to purchase a half-interest in boxer Junior Joe Louis (Barry Wright). Promised a return of 500,000 dollars on his investment, Fred takes over management of Junior Joe himself. Not surprisingly, Fred messes things up, culminating in a disastrous exhibition bout with poor Lamont. Future Charlie's Angel's TV series co-star David Doyle makes a guest appearance as Clancy Fitzgerald, a fight promoter, and Hank Rolike also appears in this episode as Yarby, a friend of Fred and Junior's manager.
