Lum and Abner – Serving Eviction Papers. 440731

What seems a necessary step in clearing grandpap’s farm for the health spa, means eviction papers are in store for Lum to serve. In the store today, Abner is joined by his poppa to hear a recap of the details. As Phinus Peabody runs out to watch the steam shovels at work, Lum arrives.

Has any important phone calls from Henry Lunseford come in? Can Abner get out of work, and go watch the steam shovels as well? Lum tries to console himself that grandpap already knew about the technicality of being evicted.

Abner begins to admire, and imagine having all the money that grandpap is sure to make. One of Lum’s old Edwards sayings get him a little confused. Abner gets on a side track about the woman’s work Lizabeth does, and handling mules, plowing, and the like. That call from uncle Henry comes in. Will it help with grandpap’s housing situation?
