Lum and Abner – Old Blue Leads Searching Party. 450222

When Abner’s dog, old blue, return to town covered in red Clay, a search party was formed to find them in the woods. So far, the source of the clay has not been found. Grandpap, and Squire recount their failed efforts to find Lum and Abner.

Old blue has been doing his best to lead the way, but now Grandpap thinks that the gents may be somewhere else, like in jail. Why does Grandpap believe that? It has to do with a strange dream that he tells squire all about.

Out in the woods, Dick and Cedric follow old blue. Does he want them to go squirrel hunting? His behavior seems strange for that. Has he got a wild cat cornered and that old mineshaft ahead? When old blue digs and the red play, it dawns on dick that the gents are trapped in that cave in. There’s no time to waste, and they race to town to form the rescue party.
