Lum and Abner – BJ’s Plea. 440821

Still being held on an antiquated traffic charge, BJ Webster is amicable as he chats with Abner. In the kind and gentle jail, BJ is certain he’ll be clear of any wrong doing. However, Abner lets it leak that Lum already has the trial, and resulting fine all worked out.

When Justice of the Peace Edwards enters, with Squire Skimp as the prosecuting lawyer, the case seems assured for Lum. Has BJ contacted his fancy New York law firm yet? Will the traffic infraction hold water?

Grandpap calls the court room to order in his capacity as bailiff, and reads the charge. There seems to be no challenge from Mr Webster, taking some wind from Lum’s sails. Still, is the contractor up to something?
