Lum and Abner – Trans Atlantic Broadcast. 380721.

A special show to be sure. Maybe not the first transatlantic broadcast, but a first, and unique moment for the show.

Lum has left for England, and in a live transatlantic phone call, Lum phones Abner in the Jot ‘Em Down Store. Abner gets confused as to the technology behind the connection. Lum has something important he wants to tell Abner, at the cost of $10 per minute, but the small talk seems to fill up the time.

Listen in, and get the latest gossip from Pine Ridge, and about Lum’s boat ride to England. Is there some kind of mix up with his inheritance? Trouble with the lawyers? Lum’s time is up and he leaves Abner, and us, hanging.
