Lum and Abner – Motion Picture Salesman Arrives. 431025

Audio is a little muffled, with record noise.

Grandpap and Cedric man the store, while Lum has taken down the screen door for the season. As the excited Abner leaves on the mail hack, Lizabeth phones to say he forgot his umbrella. In Lum’s words, “That’s the trouble with having a woman for a wife. They always gotta be worrying about something.”

A man enters, claiming to be an actor. Would he like Cedric’s autograph? What does the traveling man want? Is he selling something? Does he work with the carpenters?
When Lum discovers he’s in the picture business, he’s eager to talk shop with the stranger.

He has only the best of films that can be found. But what exactly is in his catalog? Nothing that’s playing in theaters today… or the hits of the past… what does he have then?
