Meet the Bunkers
It's Edith and Archie Bunker's wedding anniversary. Edith manages to drag Archie to church. Daughter Gloria and her husband, Mike try to whip up a party atmosphere for the parents.
Writing the President
Mike writes a letter to President Nixon, protesting everything that's wrong with America, including the state of the environment and the nation's involvement in Vietnam. Archie finds out and, to refute his son-in-law's claims, he decides he, too, will write a letter to ol' Tricky Dick, praising the nation's chief and attempting to explain the Meathead as an ignorant. While penning the letter, Archie pictures the family all standing behind him, dressed in his Sunday best, all supporting his positions.
Oh, My Aching Back (aka Archie's Aching Back)
Archie is involved in a minor traffic accident. While grumbling about the aftermath of the accident to the family, Lionel stops by and drops off the dry cleaning. Seems as though his folks used the hefty insurance settlement from their recent accident to start Jefferson Cleaners, a dry cleaning accident. The wheels in Archie's head start spinning around, and before long, the Bunker patriarch cries, "Ooh, my back!" Well, his back isn't really hurt, but he'll pretend that it is so he, too, can get a lot of money from an insurance settlement. Archie enlists the aid of a Jewish attorney to handle the case. However, the attorney quickly catches on and, wanting to maintain his integrity, he refuses to represent Archie. Bye-bye lawsuit and bye-bye to Archie's dreams.
Archie Gives Blood
Archie refuse to donate blood because he'll afraid that his vital fluids might get mixed in those of a different race.
Judging Books By Covers
Can one tell who is gay just by his appearance? Archie sure thinks so, when Mike's friend Roger drops by for a visit. Seems Roger is into gaudy pinstriped suits and acts effeminate, much to Archie's disdain. The bigot quickly decides Roger is gay, and Mike can only try to explain his father-in-law to Roger. After another high-pitched argument, Archie goes down to Kelsey's, where he grumbles about the Meathead and his friend. But Arch is surprised to learn that one of his friends, complete with a "tough guy" appearance, is a well-adjusted gay man. Oh, and by the way, Roger may act strange and have wierd tastes, but he's NOT gay.
Gloria's Pregnancy (aka Gloria Has a Belly Full)
Archie hits the roof when he learns Gloria is pregnant, especially since Mike is an unemployed college student. After giving it some thought and talking with friends, Archie decides being a grandpa would bring a lot of joy to his life. But Gloria suddenly becomes ill and has a miscarriage. Archie is deeply saddened when he learns about Gloria losing the baby, and consoles his shaken daughter in a very touching speech.
Mike's Hippie Friends Come to Visit
Mike invited one of his hippie friends to spend the night in his living room, despite Archie's strenous ojections.
Lionel Moves Into the Neighborhood
Lionel and his family (his mother, Louise; his father, George; and his brother, Henry) move into the neighborhood. At the same time, Archie's neighbors are planning a petition drive to keep black families from moving in, since it would affect their property values. The effort fails when Archie goes to the house of his neighbors to get them to sign, unknowing that it's the Jeffersons' house.
Edith Has Jury Duty
Edith is chosen for jury duty for a major murder trial, much to Archie's chagrin. He hits the roof when the jury is seqestered, as he'll have to fend for himself for the next two weeks (TWO WEEKS!). While Archie stubbornly refuses to fend for himself, Edith becomes the lone dissenting juror (favoring acquittal of the defendant) when the case is given to the jury, much to the annoyment of her fellow jurors. Edith's convictions pay off -- the real culprit comes forward and confesses, freeing the defendant. While Mike and Gloria tell Edith how proud they are of her, Archie could care less.
Archie is Worried About His Job
No one in the family gets any sleep when Archie spends the night worring that he might lose his job.

Archie learns that Eddie has become wealthy in the used car trade, but that he's harboring a lot of anxiety. Turns out Eddie is trying to get in contact with his estranged family. Later, Archie throws a huge party for Eddie, who during the party gets a call from his son. Turns out the son wants nothing to do with his father and wants him to "stay the hell out of his life," and only Mike seems to care about Eddie's true feelings.
The First and Last Supper
The Bunkers plan a welcoming dinner for their new black neighbors, the Jeffersons. After a series of mix-ups and changes in plans, it's decided the Bunkers will host the dinner. Louise Jefferson passes off her brother-in-law Henry as her husband, George, who has flatly refused to dine or socialize with the Bunkers. A conversation between Archie and Henry starts amicably, but quickly degenerates into a shoutfest over each one's prejudices.
The Saga of Cousin Oscar
Archie's Cousin Oscar (whom he's never liked) visits the Bunker household. It's bad enough for Archie to host the freeloading cousin (whom is unseen throughout the episode), but he really hits the roof when Oscar dies unexpectedly in the upstairs bedroom. As the house becomes a breeding ground for mourners, Archie ponders whether to plan funeral services for Oscar. Mike tells him he doesn't have to, but the funeral director tells Archie that a funeral is for the benefit of the survivors.
Gloria Poses in the Nude
Mike has second thoughts after he agrees to let Gloria pose as a nude model for one of his artist friends.
Archie and the Lock-Up
Mike and Lionel plan to participate in a Vietnam protest rally. Gloria learns that police officers will try to quell the rally and trouble is expected, so she sends Archie to get Mike and Lionel. While the two come home safely, torn clothes and all, Archie ends up arrested. He has to spend time in jail with the very people he despises -- hippies and radicals. Mike and Gloria go to the jail to bail Archie out, but Archie unknowingly offends the night supervisor -- who, like Mike, happens to be Polish. The night officer and the jail supervisor decide to have the secretary, who can only hunt-and-peck on a typewriter, prepare Archie's release forms.

While in the elevator -- wherein the passengers include a pregnant Puerto Rican and her husband, a hippie and a black businessman -- the elevator breaks down. Uh oh ... Archie involuntarily has to spend time with the people he feels most uncomfortable with, and before you know it, insults start flying around. That is, until the woman goes into labor. Archie, isolated and alienated by his fellow passengers, refuses to join in the celebration when the baby is born.
Edith's Problem
Edith's been acting very funny lately, even by Archie's standards. One minute, she's her cheerful self; the next minute, she's mimicking Archie, screaming "Damn it!" and "Stifle!" and running around the house like a child on a sugar-high. Seems as though menopause is fast-approaching for the Dingbat. Mike and Gloria understand menopause is something most women (like Edith) go through when they hit the mid-40s, and the best way to deal with it is with time and patience. Understanding menopause is something Archie seems to lack, and he shows little effort in displaying patience, either. Finally, Archie gives Edith 30 seconds to have her "change." The ultimatum seems to do the trick, or does it?

Gloria also declares Mike guilty, questioning her husband's fidelity and demanding an explanation, for which Mike can't seem to give a plausable story. Edith's attempts to calm everyone and mediate the situation makes things worse.

That has Archie really angry, especially since they disrupted the household and caused everyone to lose a night's sleep.

Gloria then poses a riddle to her father and Mike to test their chauvinism, about why a male doctor cannot operate on an accident victim who turns out to be the doctor's son. The men are stumped, but Archie decides unfairly to try to get at the answer by posing the same riddle to his friends down at Kelsey's Bar. They too can't come up with the answer. In the end, Edith easily answers the riddle, noting that the doctor isn't a male after all, but a woman!

The package, meanwhile, turns out to be harmless (it was merely cigars), but that revelation comes only after Edith -- thinking the package was ticking -- puts it underneath the faucet in the kitchen sink; turned out the Dingbat had left the kitchen timer on. Just as Archie's fuming about having to go without a cigar, Paul -- identifying himself as a member of the Hebrew Defense Association -- comes calling. He tells everyone the Bunker house has been mistaken for one down the street. After some very tense moments, Paul urges the family to take action with violent means. Archie's all for the idea, but Mike fruitlessly argues that violence only begets violence. That lesson comes too late for Paul; Archie witnesses the man getting blown up inside his car, and the suspects are the people from whom he tried to protect the Bunker family.

Archie and Mike can't remain amicable for long, and before long, they're quibbling about the visit from the repairman and his helper, who is black. Both the Arch-ster and the Meathead have vastly different versions of the visit, with the focus of each story centering on a knife.

Of course, Mike (being dead set against gun violence) immediately is very angry and tells Archie that toy guns could influence children's behavior later on. Tempers really escalate when Mike grabs the plastic gun from Archie and breaks it over his knee. After the two continue to argue, Mike lets slip that he is considering including a clause in the Stivics' will that will grant custody of Joey to friends, if something should happen to both Mike and Gloria. Now Archie becomes really, really, really, really angry at his son-in-law, but unexpectedly (but understandibly so), so does Edith. After Archie storms out to allow relieve his very high blood pressure, a calmed-down Mike tries to reason with Edith, saying that he has no problems with her, the problem is Archie. But Edith shoots back, reminding Mike that, although Archie is far from perfect, he is a good man and loves Joey, and that he would always do what was right for his grandson and never do anything that was morally objectionable. After Mike and Gloria talk it over some more, and Gloria also comes to her father's defense, they decide ... not to make a decision right now. The decision seems to sooth Edith and satisfy Archie. But Archie still has one matter to clear up that toy gun; he wants Joey to have a toy machine gun and, in the coda, tries to get the money to pay for a new one out of Edith's purse!

Uh oh, that gets Archie's blood pressure and everyone's tempers flaring, and before long, the Bunkers' house is treated to a full-scale argument. An emotional Archie condemns David for dodging the draft, and that Congressmen alone have the wisdom to decide the United States' participation status. The others' attempts to change the topic fall on deaf ears, as Archie gets on a roll about how the young bespectacled man represents everything that's wrong with the younger generation.
