With his best friend still quarantined with the measles, Lum has nowhere to go for Thanksgiving. We find him on the phone, wondering who will invite him over to their feast, when Phinus enters. Does Abner’s poppa know where Lum can go? Phinus is going to the Quincey’s, will Lum be able to drop hints that he can also be invited?
The hints are dropped, but will the polite nudges get noticed? Will the old timer think of including Lum as his last moment friend to take along? A knock at the door finds Cedric to share his meal plans for the day. Potatoes piled high, with gravy, and pies of all kinds. The mouthwatering descriptions push Lum to desperate measures. Will it be far enough for him to swallow some pride?
A phone call from US Quincey to check on the whereabouts of Phinus gives Lum the break he needs. Drawing on the holiday customs of pilgrims and Indians, and friends who get together, Lum may have gone over board. Returning to the phone lines, Lum makes more calls, but finds his best chance might be with Cedric. If only it weren’t for those worrisome Indians running around.
