Lum and Abner – BJ’s Upcoming Trial. 440817

With the good natured, but dubious contractor cooling off in jail, Lum explains his plan to raise funds to buy the Dillard ;place for grandpap. Phinus is on hand to hear him out, but warns Lum his idea could backfire on him.

Meanwhile, town Marshall Abner enters to tell how the prisoners prefer his kinder, gentler ways over those of the usual marshal. Nothing seems to shake the good natured BJ Webster. Isn’t he worried at all that Lum has him where he wants him to pin the legal charges on him?

The air tight case against BJ has Abner doubtful. Mr Webster has been in contact with a fancy lawyer from St Louis. What has been keeping BJ laughing? Is he tickled over something, or is it because he is too smart for Lum?
