While Lum is in the county seat to iron out the delays in getting the rubber samples to the government office, grandpap enters the store to talk to Abner. Grandpap, still with amnesia, and thinking he’s a vacuum cleaner salesman from Toledo, Ohio, tells about some woman troubles he is having. His easy charm has attracted aunt Charity to him.
