Anticipating the arrival of the new school teacher, Lum wants to paint the inside of the school house. Abner points out that he had been against it before. Why the sudden change of mind? Why the choice of baby blue? Squire Skimp joins the gents to tell about a trip he plans to make to support the war effort.
Lum figures that Abner would be just the man to take on the important role at the meeting. Squire goes on to explain the homefront support groups, and how their work is important.
Can Lum and Squire convince Abner that he’s as brainy as they claim? The wartime propaganda pours forth to build Abner up. Is he about ready to take on the world single handedly?
