Synopsis

Grandpa takes Tommy & Chuckie to the new Seniors Center to play bingo. When Grandpa starts losing, however, Tommy & Chuckie look for "Lady Luck," who turns out to be Mrs. Holkin, the center's supervisor. While they look for her, however, they liven up the center, where "rest & relaxation is the key to happiness," especially since this is a place where aerobics and cha-chas are just as slow as Tai Chi, and where jumping over checkers is prohibited.
