Episode is about Stanley trying to get out of his share of slum apartment building. A man is picketing him for being a slumlord.
In the end he sells his share for $1,000 loss. In the end someone else becomes a slumlord and the building is still a slum destined to be torn down. Sure Walter and Maude's problem is solved but does selling the share in the building help the people living there? It doesnt. When a new building replaced it-it would have been doubtful those resident could afford to live in the new building.
Then Maude talks Walter into giving the picketer $60 which he declares will be spent on a horse race - odds are he lost it all. Everyone involved LOSES - Maude/Walter $1,000, picketer and his fellow tenants will have to find another tenement to live in. Ok, I guess we are not supposed to think about them.
