The Southwest Oil company is no more. Lum and Abner are surprised to learn they just sold their holdings in the oil well to their rival Squire Skimp. Today, we find them at Lum’s house, explaining the matter to Dick Huddleston. They may not trust Squire, but at least they have a solid contract to free them of responsibility, while still receiving their share of the profits.
Dick Huttleston gets Abner confused over what an auditor does. Abner is still confused, though Lum is pretty uncertain himself.
Grandpap stops in and turns the talk towards the new oil well. A business meeting is called to order. The treasurers report reveals that with all the bills from their initial income, it pretty much wipes out the newly formed Pine Ridge oil company.
Horlicks drama: A couple are walking home and talk about the party they have just came from where they served that delicious chocolate malted drink. Just right to hit the spot, and not keep you up all night.
What kind of stuff is this “Horlick’s”? If it’s the wonder product of the universe, where can I get some? Do they still sell it? For answers to these questions either stay tuned to the Lum and Abner channel, right here on the Retro Radio Podcast.
