Lum and Abner – Taking Cedric’s Picture. 440629

Attempts at using psychology on grandpap have failed to get him to cooperate in using his land as the location of the spa. Lum and Abner agonize over what to try next, when Cedric is seen arriving. Wonderful world! Its a phrase that has been used in town now for a couple years, but Lum is tiring of the cheerful greeting.

Cedric seems to have invented the first selfie stick, using a string to trigger his camera to take a photo of himself. He hasn’t had a lot of luck, and with one shot left on his roll of film, he needs the gents to take a romantic picture for his gal Clarabelle.

Cedric will miss the way he shared her on dates with Gomer Bates, as she will be going away in the Army soon. The photo shoot turns into a marketing opportunity for the store. Will this make Cedric the next pinup poster for the soldiers? Especially if he wears Lum’s comical old swimsuit. A lesson on taking a picture means wasting the last shot. Will Lizabeth be jealous of Abner now?
