Lum and Abner – Ole Doc Peabody. 441226

Back to the usual town drama, after the Christmas season, old Doc Peabody continues his marital advice business. Today, we find him on the phone placing an order for handbills to grow his business. Lum tries to offer financial advice, because he’s concerned that Abner has too much outgo, and too little income.

Though he may not make a lot of money, Abner Brags that he knows more town gossip than sister Simpson. Lum doesn’t want to hear it. He’s more concerned about that bill with the printers, and those handbills. The tune may change soon though when Abner stepped out to follow Lum’s orders. The phone rings and Lum fields a call from Emmett Goshen.

At least in Emmett’s case, Abner has done some good. The suspense builds though and try as you might, Lum can’t resist much longer about being tempted by gossip. Especially when it involves the new schoolteacher. Will Abners supernatural powers of marital advice convince Lum to restart the business?
