Lum and Abner – BJ Lets Abner Arrest Him. 440816

To arrest BJ Webster, Abner awaits his scheduled appointment. Will the stranger to town wait, or will this be his chance to flee town? Grandpap has gone along to be sure justice is served. In the office of the high powered contractor, Abner politely gets on with the awkward affair of breaking the news to Mr Webster of his arrest.

The invitation to visit the quaint little jail in town amuses BJ, and is even more amused to find out about what he has been charged with. The 40 year old law seems silly, but it’s still in affect.

Now that the formalities have been done, Abner needs to find where he put those handcuffs. He returns to the waiting room to r\brag to grandpap and Phinus about how well he manhandled his culprit into submission. As Abner ducks back into the office, grandpap and Phinus worry that Abner might not be able to control himself. Should they be worried?
