SANFORD AND SON: A VISIT FROM LENA HORNE (TV)
Summary
One in this series of comedies about the life and times of a junk dealer and his son.
In this episode, Fred is embarrassed when no one will believe that he met Lena Horne while on an NBC studio tour. He tries to convince the singer to come over to the house by fabricating the story that his son, Lamont, is a handicapped child who sees her as a mother figure. Fred bets money with his friends that Horne will come, and he grows nervous when the time of her arrival comes -- and goes. Commercials deleted.
