    Lootin' Lenny on his turf

    "Willona, the Fuzz" finds Willona accepting a new position with store security, observing through a two way window for potential shoplifters, because daughter Penny needs skating lessons with a top pro. Mr. Rogers (Gordon Jump) is the boss, Miss Johnson (Conchata Ferrell) her immediate supervisor, working their motto: "they catch 'em, we catch 'em!" One person that Rogers rather likes is 'Lootin' Lenny' (Dap Sugar Willie, third of seven), who gives them all his business: "I'm Lootin' Lenny, and when you buy from Lenny you save yourself a good penny, for the last minute gift be it wedding, graduation or bar mitzvah, Lenny won't let you wear it unless it fits ya!" Willona's conscience won't let her continue, especially after a nun found religion before the mirror: "what she had under her habit was a private affair between her and God!"
