Lum and Abner – Lum Will Have His Hair Bleached. 450205

After having his hair touched up last week, Lum is still hiding out. He complains to Abner About the lingering affects of the hair color and tonic that Mose Moots used. Lum’s latest trouble is that Miss Emiline has invited him to a dance. Why is that so bad? She hasn’t seen his new, black hair coloring yet.

Will the school teacher have to bow out on the night on the town? Just because Lum is embarrassed o be seen in public? Why doesn’t he just reveal himself to her? Maybe she’ll like his look. Why can’t she still go? Why should Lum’s problem hold her back?

These questions, and more are discussed as the gents work through Lum’s problems. Meanwhile, Lum is critical of how ladies spend time beautifying themselves, spending hours in the beauty salon. Could that be his solution though? Just a few moments getting his color fixed, and hiding out under one of those big hair dryers.
