Episode synopsis
Edit
Fred and Lamont are applying for a loan to finance their purchase of Julio's former property when a pair of robbers burst into the bank.
Episode summaryEdit
Ever in pursuit of extra money, Fred and Lamont take over management of a rooming house, which was Julio's old home, which they rename the Sanford Arms. At first, our heroes intend to be discriminating in their clientele; after all, they can't just let anybody rent a room. But when tenants fail to materialize and the debt begins mounting, the Sanfords are forced to rethink their screening process -- and as a result, they open their doors to a fugitive from justice. Nancy Kulp makes her first series appearance as May Hopkins, the mother of semi-regular Officer "Hoppy" Hopkins (Howard T. Platt). Arnold Johnson makes his series debut appearance as George "Hutch" Hutton, an ex-convict who later befriends Fred and Lamont.
