The management situation in the store has slowly tipped back to where it had been, with Abner the boss, and Lum his employee. Abner agonizes over the figures, while Lum enters in a cheerful mood. Are they finally sinking back into their old routines, despite Lum being the delivery boy? Lum uses reverse psychology to put pressure of the position on Abner.
Grandpap pops in to hear about Abner’s woes as he labors over the numbers. The bookkeeping may be more than he figured on. Grandpap and aunt Charity plan to put on a supper to lift Lum’s spirits, Is that why he has been so cheerful? The overworked Abner is frustrated over having to work late.
When an order comes in, Abner takes it down. The big order is for aunt Charity, and Lum will have to stay a little later to put it together, then deliver it… with a little humility to his own supper.
