Episode synopsis[]
Fred regales young Roger with tall tales of his World War II exploits that draw more from the late movie than the history books.
Episode summary[]
Hoping to impress his future grandson Roger (Edward Crawford), Fred (Redd Foxx) weaves an incredible tale of his "heroic" exploits during WWII. Casting himself as the Patton-like "Major Fred G. Sanford," Fred concocts an unbelievable account based on every war movie cliché ever minted, culminating in a top-secret mission to sabotage a Nazi guided-missile plant. Naturally, Fred's contemporary cronies appear in his fabrications, among them "Lieutenant Lamont," "Fingers Rollo," and "Bubbaface Bexley."
Note: Frank Nelson appears as a U.S. Army soldier. Fritzi Burr appears as Helga a German masterspy, Kenneth Menard appears as a customer, Pat Morita appears as Japanese Colonel Hiakowa, Milton Frome appears as a Nazi officer and voicer, and Martin Kosleck makes an appearance as a Nazi General.
