Lum and Abner – Letter By Carrier Pigeon. 420729

After learning about the tall, thin man in a frayed gray suit who placed an ad with the coat of arms in it, the gents need to decide the right thing to do.

Lum returns to review the meager details they know for sure about the baby. The woman who dropped him off, the strange thin man, and the insignia. What will he think about Abner’s letter by carrier pigeon?
