Not making much progress in proposing to Mable Melrose, Lum and Abner are back in the Jot Em Down store. So far Lum does pretty well with her, until Mable starts talking, then the conversation goes out of control. If only he could take her some place where he could talk, and she couldn’t talk back… huh?
Grandpap has had enough of his painting job that he started after his success in the recent art exhibit, but he can’t get out of it. The government has a job freeze, and he’s stuck to it. A matter which confuses Abner. If grandpap is froze, he ought to wear a coat and gloves. Still, grandpap has his ways, and announces his new job as telegram delivery boy.
As the gents talk, they’re pleasantly surprised to see an old friend return. Mousey Gray tells how he had to walk back from the county seat. Why? He claims to have sent a telegram to announce hisreturn. Is that the telegram that grandpap was to deliver… and forgot?
