Much to Lum’s disgust, Caleb has been implementing some popular changes to the local school system. Today however, Abner is surprised to find Lum sporting a mortarboard hat, and wanting to be known as professor Lum. The change has come due to being asked to teach his trade to the young scholars, as part of Caleb’s new plan.
