Applications for school teachers have finally begun to arrive, and we find Lum and Abner looking over qualifications. Lum is against a stout woman, but Abner claims her years of experience fills the bill. He’s a little fuzzy about what her degree is in. Is Phys Ed the name of her son?
What about the other applicants? The letter from the placement bureau gets Abner off with a side track on how he approaches writing letters. Due to war time travel restrictions, Lum is being asked to meet the applicants in the county seat for interviews, instead of sending the teachers out to Pine Ridge.
Lum figures he can save even more time by just looking through the letters and make his decision. When a photo falls out of one of the envelops, the cute, young face looking up at Lum makes up his mind. But wait, how will he decide when there’s more than one cute face to choose from?
