Al takes a $12,000 offer for early retirement from the shoe store, but Peg's mismanagement of their finances (via shopping), sends him back into the job market -- where he hears opportunity knocking with a chance to buy a store called "Homeplate Athletic Shoes". Mean- while, Charlene Tilton visits the Bundy house, trying to sell an Abdomenizer. [Note: Al earns US$ 12'000 a year. Music: Al sings a variation of "Banana Boat Song".]
