Lum just can’t win in explaining toAbner about the plan to save granfpap’s farm. Meanwhile, down at the jailhouse grandpap pops in for a checker game, and to see why Abner just left his share in the store to be disposed of by that traitor, Lum. Besides, isn’t Abner pampering the prisoners?
The situation of why grandpap is being evicted, and the adjacent Dillard place is reviewed, as the two old gents talk. To test Lum’s integrity, grandpap phones in an order of something that’s only found on Abner’s side of the store. Should he spring for a few clothespins, or splurge, and get a whole pack? Will that snake in the weeds sell Abner’s things, and keep all the money?
As bad as the problem seems to be, is it enough to go out and arrest Lum? With the current condition of overcrowding in the jailhouse, there might not be enough lemonade and ginger snaps to go around as it is.
